On the subject of REISE REISE, I theorize that Rammstein were planning to vary their musical style a bit, but kept most of the drastically different tracks off this album. Most of the songs for the next album (ROSENROT) were already written and considered for REISE REISE, but they may have wanted to ease the fans into the changes.
Count on ROSENROT to be more of a departure, and more "ground-breaking".
