Sixth Studio Album On Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Remastered In 2015 by Longtime Rammstein Sound Engineers!
Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (English: Love Is Here For Everyone) is the sixth studio album by German industrial metal band Rammstein, now available for the first time as a limited edition 2xLP set pressed on 180 gram black vinyl! Originally released in 2009, the album was remastered in 2015 by the longtime Rammstein sound engineers.
The band helped to found a subgenre within German hard rock and metal that became known as Neue Deutsche Harte, which describes a crossover style that is influenced by New German Wave, alternative metal and groove metal combining it with elements from electronica and techno. Their album Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da was added to the index of the Bundesprüfstelle Fur jugendgefahrdende Medien (Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons) in Germany, due to the track "Ich tu dir weh" and a picture inside the album booklet displaying lead guitarist Richard Kruspe spanking a nude woman. This means only adults can purchase the album; additionally, it must not be displayed in stores where minors have access. As a consequence, the album was re-released in Germany on November 16, 2009 in an edited version without the censored track and picture. The band still played the instrumental version song live in Germany until it was ultimately banned from live performances. As of May 31, 2010, the administrative court in Cologne has decided to waive the suspensive effect of censorship. The German department deleted the record from the censorship lists on June 1, 2010.
"Anyone familiar with the industrial metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST Fur ALLE DA ("Love Is There for Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album, Sehnsucht, with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like 'B********,' or the opening theme song 'Rammlied' and nostalgic cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. The best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer 'Roter Sand,' but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in 'Haifisch,' or the soundtrack strings of 'Wiener Blut,' which are eventually overcome by a guitar-crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album becoming ponderous, either, as an economical track list and purposeful songs wipe away the sins of their previous album, 2005's Rosenrot. The group's loyal fans have remained loyal throughout the past decade and have braved all the difficult but ultimately rewarding efforts that came with it. To them, LIEBE IST Fur ALLE DA is the big payoff and an instant classic. For the rest of the world, this is that once-a-decade, perfectly balanced Rammstein album that's immediately accessible but wide and deep enough to explore for years to come."Â - David Jeffries, allmusic.com
