Not all german music is rammstein

"First off, I am not "bashing" Megaherz in this review- their music is good. I own all of their released albums. By far, their best is "kopfschuss", and I recommend you purchase it first. There style is consistent, but the intensity changes from album to album. Many reviews I have read regarding Megaherz relate them to Rammstein- which hurts my feelings. Just because the lyrics are in german does not mean these two bands have anything else in common. That would be like comparing STP to Ministry. Rammstein is heavily immersed in mixage and electronica, while Megaherz is more your traditional 4-piece rock band. they have a mellower sound, and lighter lyrics (rammstein has some truly evil themes). If you like german hardcore, I recommend a band called "Schweisser". as a devout rammstein fan, i find this a little more to my liking than Megaherz."

Don't expect this to sound like Rammstein!

"I got this CD out of recommendations from Rammstein fans. In my opinion, the first 4 songs are the best on the album. It sort of slants down from there. The voice of the lead singer, Alexx, is definitely similar to Till Lindemann, but the songs themselves are far from Rammstein material! Their 2nd, 3rd, and newest albums are considerably better than this one. It's not their best work, but it itself has good qualities. They have a rap-metal orientation on this which is not that discernable on the others. In my mind, "Schlag Zurück" is the best song on here! However, if you want to sample Megaherz for only their best works, then I'd recommend Kopfschuss and Herzwerk II."

Just plain WOW!

"This is my first review, which this Megaherz CD has inspired me to write. When I first heard of this German band, I thought they were some kind of industrial/metal band, but I decided to purchase the CDs anyway. Well, when I received them I was more than pleasantly surprised; song after song had me. I was rocking along with every single one. I'd say they are close to Rammstein's kind of Musik, but not the same style. Rammstein is more industrial/metal while Megaherz is more techno/metal (more metal than techno). I really enjoy their music and will recommend, you the reader, to purchase all of their CDs. I will be buying more in the future and I will be letting all my friends know about this band. They rock! They rocked me! They WILL rock you! I wish I could give 6 stars for this CD."
