Expanding vocabulary through industrial metal

Despite our best efforts and a number of false sightings, Murphy is still missing, which makes Rammstein’s “Wo Bist Du?” the most apt song ever — except maybe the bit about sleeping with a knife (“ich schlaf mit einem Messer ein”). Yep, Rosenrot is kicking ass (and has new German in that I don’t know).
Stand-out tracks for me are “Wo Bist Du?”, as mentioned, and “Spring”, which so far as I can ascertain is about a guy who stops on a bridge to look at the view. Everyone else assumes that he’s going to jump, to the point that someone pushes him off to put him out of his misery. There’s a lesson there somewhere.
I’ve previously said on IRC that the entire album sucked, but I’m taking that back. I was actually just pissed that Sharleen Spiteri is on one of the songs, but Flake agreed that it sucks and hopes the all-German version is released, which I agree would be nice. Then go back in time and get her fee back. Perhaps she won’t pay up and they’ll have to send the boys round to beat her up. Damn, I hate her.
