Never thought of it as a positive, but fair comment!

I think that pretty well explains why I like them. They're a completely soul-less band, and the guttural German goes so badly with the love songs (case in point : Ohne Dich, from the excellent "Reise Reise") that the songs become almost surreal. I really like "Mein Teil" from the same album; anyone who can make a hit single from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes case gets my vote. "Sehnsucht" takes a lot of beating as an album, as it features "Speil Mit Mir", one of the most bombastic, overly melodramatic tracks ever. A b-side called "Hallelujah" is worth tracking down too, but may be offensive if you're a Catholic priest and are familiar with German... No doubt Frank Frik, our convincing Teutonic visitor, could help out with those awkward translations. Alternatively, herzeleid.com is a good resource.

Sorry Rammstein fans - I think the word 'pantomime' describes them well
