OOMPH just released a few short clips of some of the other English songs on their facebook fan page, and let me tell you: They are WAY better than this...so if this song isn't doing it for you, wait until you hear some of the others, the English translations fit perfectly into the song, unlike this one (in my opinion).

I'm one of America's biggest OOMPH! fans, but, man.... I'm just not crazy about this rerelease... I was excited about the English CD, but this song just seems forced.

That being said, they have every right to redo their recent songs in English, seeing as how they went from 50/50 to 95/5 in the last 6 years. I see it as playing catch-up!

[mscheen]

Yeah I agree, I don't mind most of the song...but when it gets to the "Ready or not I'm coming" part, it seems EXTREMELY forced. We'll have to see what the other songs are like.

[ODSTpro]

Their not trying to beat the German version. They're doing this to expand into more countries where German is not very common and English is more common. It's a smart approach.

[deutschtard]

Yes, exactly what ODSTpro said. they want to be able to be famous in more than just Germany and the surrounding countries. They want to come play in the US and other English speaking countries, and at least Dero's careful about his translations.

@hahailoveyew

the reason why it isnt the exact meaning is because it would sound choppy,German uses diffrent language rules than english,and it would have no rhym and not proper rythm,its alot of worl having to translate it.you can't expect it to be exactly like german if you think of it logically.

[JenLuvzRammstein]

This is an exellent song,in German and english!Congradulations OOMPH! just when you thought they were the best...they just keep gettin' better and better. i suscribed!

[xXNatashaXVerlacXx]

Wow.i'd never thought that people would be so critical about the english version. Its like reading a book and then going to see the movie. It's not going to be exactly alike. You can't do that when you translate. You can't literally translate a sentence word for word in english cause then it wouldn't make any sense. It only makes sense to do the songs in english. Honestly, Most people haven't even heard the German version so it won't matter!

[BelowAverage355]

Well if they translated directly not only would "Augen auf, ich komme" not really make sense, but in english it would have no rhythm or coherence. It would sound off.

[hahailoveyew]

This isn't even what they say in german they really sucked at translation.

[bulletboy25]

WTF?....suckers and just for get more money. and be populars around the world

look what a shit you make with your good songs in german. and you said that rammstein is a product and that is giant just because they have a big transnational and you said shit about theys and look it the shit that you make...trio of suckers focus in your band and not in other one and focus in make good music cause every day you are worst that ever.
