without distractions yet though, which is the only good way to experience Esoteric (or funeral doom in general) in my mind.
Aye, that's indeed very true. Hope you will check out The Manical Vale because there are lots of people [with good reasons] that says that that's easily the best album they've done and that says a lot since the previous ones are also masterpieces
But The Manical Vale is... fuck man, beautiful and crushing 100 minutes of pure epicness
Don't judge it all on the basis of Pussy. Pussy was meant to be more of a one-off fun song, similarly to Zwitter, I think. As for the other songs that are out: Rammlied, aurally, strikes me as a remake of Rammstein (the song) that's actually pretty good, while Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (is this out legally?) is, in many ways, a throwback to the earlier sound that they had on Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. According to some reading I've done, the album overall is supposed to be closer to Herzeleid than Rosenrot.
Please, don't missunderstand, I've been a hardcore Rammstein-fan for years and I like pretty much all their albums, I udnerstand that pussy is a joke-sound, but also we have to think that they have done better joke songs [Zwitter]. And I have read an article reviewing each song and it seems that it would be one of the most variable cds they've done. so I'm still very excited.
