Every dog has its day, as they say, and Rammstein seem to have had theirs. For fans of the seriously heavy, powerful industrial sounds of Rammstein, "Rosenrot" will probably disappoint.With exception of the track "Zerstoren", which is filled with powerful chords and hard riffs, the band seems to have gone for a lighter, cleaned up sound. Most tracks have a softer sound to them, as if Rammstein have tried to change their image and style quite dramatically. Some songs get heavy in the choruses, only to lose that hard edge again in the verses. Sadly, this seems to be the case with every song on the CD.For fans who have been pounded into fan-hood by the sounds of "Sennsucht", "Mutter", and Herzeleid", this one is certainly one to avoid. If you buy it, make sure you listen to it first. Maybe the changes will appeal, but for fans of the earlier music, "Rosenrot" is really where the "rot" has set in.If you were only mildly impressed by "Reise, Reise", then steer clear of this one.
