Dear UMG,
Give it up. The song has been leaked, and no matter how many underpaid and overzealous keyboard jockeys you get to inform Youtube of copyright violations, there will be more and more and more. Fandom is a zealous creature, and once it has loosed a howl, it seldom stops in mid-ululation at the behest of men in suits who would charge them to look at the CD cover art if they could. Rather than waste your energy in a feeble attempt to re-enact the Little Dutch Boy for the electronic age, perhaps you should convince the Rammgents to invest in an antivirus suite for their laptops, as they seem dreadfully prone to security breaches, or to keep their gaggle(s) of hangers-on away from them. This is the second time a purported Rammstein song has been leaked to the Internet. Either someone has been watching too much porn on their Dell, or someone in their inner circle is accessing their sensitive files while they're living it up at the post-show orgies.
In truth, part of me suspects that this is an "accidental" leak. When "Eisenmann" made the rounds, the rumor was that a close associate had hacked one of the members' machines, a rumor that was was lent credibility by the poor quality of the demo(Poor Till sounded like he'd hooked himself to an emphysema machine)and by the concurrent appearance of photos allegedly stolen from Christoph's private collection. But "Land" sounds crisp, and far more polished than the cacophonous croaking and clattering of "Eisenmann", which was clearly in the early stages of production and sounded like they were performing in the accessible toilet at LAX. Methinks that someone "accidentally" let this slip in order to chum the fannish waters and whet appetites for the upcoming "Best of" release.
As for the leaked song, it's quite catchy. It needs a bit of spit and polish, but the riff is energetic, and the verses are an infectious earworm of urgent repetition. I'm going to be muttering, "Wohin gehst du? Wohin?" all damn night. That said, the lyrics are a bit thin, as if Till enrolled in the Zack de la Rocha School of Composition and scratched them off while on the jakes. They're not lazy, precisely, but they do seem hurried, as though he were writing to beat a deadline.
I would also like to know if that's a trumpet, or if Flake was simply blatting and faffing about on his keyboard. It's a strange sound, like a mariachi trumpeter stumbling into a Metallica show and deciding to soldier bravely on despite the odd venue and the haze of pot smoke clouding his vision.
