Herzeleid (XXV Anniversary Edition – Remastered)

The album that started it all.

From this album, anyone could predict that this band had a long career ahead of them. Each song is powerful and different and perfect addition to the album as a whole.

This is simply a review on the claim that the music is remastered. To my ears, it doesn’t sound remastered from the original copy I own. That’s why this gets 1 star from me. The songs themselves would warrant a much higher rating. But remastered? Not compared to the copy I’ve owned for two decades. If you already own the original, don’t waste your money on a “remastered” version. Edit: For those saying to get “better” headphones, if you need to spend hundreds of dollars on “good” headphones to notice any difference in the remastered tracks, then the remastered was done poorly. A well-done remaster would not require the user to invest a bunch of money to hear the difference. You should be able to hear it with an affordable set of speakers. Not a Cadillac set of speakers. I stand by my comment from 2 years ago.

Excellent remaster. I agree with the reviewer who recommended listening with a good pair of speakers (or, I might add, headphones), allow me to emphasize a GOOD pair. The vocal tracks are definitely the most noticeable improvements on the original master, as are the mid to lower frequencies. The reverse echo effect on the of the backing vocals is noticed and appreciated. MP4s never sounds as good as a set of large speakers and a CD turned up as loud as your speakers will take, but this is as close as one can get. Ist sehr gut!

There aren’t even any bonus tracks.

The album itself is amazing and deserves 5 stars, but I would agree with other people here saying that the album does not sound remastered or different from the original recordings. I gave it only 3 stars because it’s advertised as remastered and to my ears there is no difference from the original mixes.

Original sounds exactly the same but who cares the original one is great no need to remaster

That being said I bought this in Germany back in the day. Rammstein is always good.

I still love listening to their music and that’s not changing anytime soon.

I can’t say whether or not it’s been digitally remastered or not, but it’s a great reissue of a classic album.
