Reise, Reise by Rammstein

Reise, Reise, Rammstein's fourth studio album, came out on Universal in Germany on 27 September 2004, with Republic handling North America that November, and it's the Berlin sextet at their most theatrical. They cut it at El Cortijo Studios in Málaga, Spain, and produced it themselves with Swedish producer Jacob Hellner, who had been with them since their debut. The lineup never changes and neither does the method: Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers stack up the guitars, Oliver Riedel and Christoph Schneider pound out the foundation, Christian Lorenz adds the keyboards, and Till Lindemann writes his words over the finished music and delivers them in that booming, commanding voice.

Four singles came off it, "Mein Teil", "Amerika", "Ohne dich" and "Keine Lust", and the first two both reached No. 2 in Germany, with "Mein Teil" giving the band its first No. 1 single, in Spain. There was plenty left over, too: the follow-up, Rosenrot, was first planned as Reise, Reise, Vol. II and carries six of its outtakes.
