Overview Edit

Reise, Reise (Translates into Arise, Arise.) is Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein's fourth studio album. It was released on 27 September 2004 in Germany and followed shortly by its release across Europe. It was released in North America on 16 November 2004. It was in the top ten in several European charts and a number one hit in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Estonia and Mexico. As of February 2006, the album has shipped 1.5 million copies globally.

As used in "Reise, Reise aufstehen! Kommt hoch nach alter Seemannsart", the album name is an old Low German sailor's expression to waken other sailors, hence the translation of the title would be "Arise, Arise", as seen in the song of the same name. Given Rammstein's propensity to use puns, a double meaning could well be intended, as the standard High German translation of "Reise" is "journey" or "travel".

Though written as a noun, "Reise" is obviously used as a verb in the song. The phrase "Reise, Reise" is used by seamen as a wake-up call and finds its roots in the Middle High German verb "risen", which meant "to rise" (to which it is obviously related as well). This verb has since died out in New High German, though the noun was retained and came to mean "journey" or "voyage". The verb "reisen" was rederived from the noun "Reise", but now means "to journey" or "to travel". It seems the old meaning has been preserved in this phrase in the seaman's language.

5 stars PHENOMENAL
Rammstein's latest album continues the greatness of one of the most ingenious and unique metal acts ever put together. I would think that I would hear a mediocre or so-so song by them by now, but no. This band just gets better and every song they make is awesome.

Reise Reise is a great jump for the band, this is easily their most creative album musically and I think lyrically as well. Once you start hearing the accordion on the shanty-ish "Reise Reise", you know you are in for something special…

3 stars Ramm Um Stein
Seems like not every their album is a 100% Rammstein. The Rammstein we have got used to with the help of Mutter and the previous ones.

The music is fun, it's better than average, still sounds original to many English speaking fans all around the globe... Yet, where's anything like Mein Herz Brennt, Links, Ich Will, Feuer Frei, Rein Raus? Where's something that's at least slightly close to the beauty of Sonne, Mutter and Nebel?

The stuff like Mein Teil, Los, Ohne Dich rather only mimick the hit…
