"Well! This single is an import right now. I don't think anything from Rammstein's new album "Rosenrot" is availble just at random so you have to get it online. But the album and both the singles out thus far are far worth it (the third single "Mann Gegan Mann" is due out in March). Of the two "Benzin" and "Rosenrot" I'd have to say that Rosenrot is better. The song itself AND the remixes. So let's get on with it then- shall we?



1: Rosenrot

This song at first unimpressed me. I admit it; there was all this hype about a song called "Rosenrot" that didn't make it onto Rammstein's fourth album "Reise, Reise" and so when I first heard this song I was unimpressed with the melody, the bassline, the formula. And now: God do I love this song. Much like "Benzin" it becomes oddly addictive and after seeing the music video one can't help but love it unconditionally. It's groovy and pretty and heavy all at once. So there you have it.



2: Tweaker Mix by Chris Vrenna

This mix at first I thought was going to be my favorite on the single because I favor when people remix songs this way. It's got a lot of strings, it's slow and melodic and heavy and very pretty. Groovy and very well done it transitions from being very i don't know- ballad like to being very hard with ease and is greatly likeable.



3:Vorthern Lite Mix by Northern Lite

Much to my surprise this is actually my favorite mix. It starts with accoustic guitars playing the main riff and then is joined by very dance like beats and bass. The vocals are turned down to be lower than the actual song. Good strings. Catchy beeping after the chorus. Heavy and folk and techno all in one. It works very well and again, is another well done mix!



4: 3AM At Cozy Mix by Jagz Kooner

Probably my least favorite of the mixes, but still very good. It's driving and very dancable and again heavy. To me it sounds like the sped up the vocals and stuff to make the song go faster. It's highly filtered and very groovy and upbeat. Much drums and bass. Very good too!



So there you have it. All in all it's sad that this single only has 4 tracks and runs only 19 minutes. The normal "Rosenrot" track is an edit of the album version and is about 7 seconds shorter in the end. I don't know why they made this cut because it's hardly noticable because it's such a short amount of time. Well it's fantastic and I recommend it to all Rammstein fans and anyone who likes heavy groovy and catchy music."
