Liebe ist für alle da (German: [ˈliːbə ʔɪst fyːɐ̯ ˈʔalə daː], "Love is there for everyone"), often abbreviated to LIFAD, is the sixth studio album by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. It was released through Universal Music in Europe on 16 October 2009, the United Kingdom on 19 October 2009, and the United States on 20 October 2009.[11]

This would be the band's last album for nearly a decade, until the release of their untitled follow-up album in May 2019.

Promotion and release

[edit]

The album title was confirmed on 1 September 2009 in a promotional video[12] for the new single "Pussy", released on 18 September 2009 in the European Union and 19 September 2009 in the United States. The single's B-side was "Rammlied".[13] The video for "Pussy" was released on the adult website Visit-X two days before the single. The video features scenes of explicit male and female nudity as well as the band members (played by body doubles in the nude scenes) engaging in sexual activity with women. In June 2009, a demo version of the title track, "Liebe ist für alle da", leaked onto the internet, along with various promotional materials. Pictures taken throughout the recording of the album were later made available on Rammstein's official website. The album was released on 16 October 2009 in Europe and 20 October in the U.S.[14]

Guitarist Paul Landers stated that tracks which did not make it on the album would appear as B-sides on singles and that there would be a special edition of the album with five bonus tracks[citation needed] On 8 November 2009, Rammstein played their first show for their Liebe ist für alle da Tour in Lisbon, Portugal – their first live show in four years. As announced, a video was shot for the album's third single, "Haifisch", which premiered on the band's MySpace page on 23 April 2010. "Waidmanns Heil" is a playable track in the rhythm video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.[15][16] In February 2012 a total of 26 demos recorded during the recording sessions of the album were leaked onto the internet. In addition to the demos of songs already released on the album there were also the demo versions of two at the time unreleased songs, titled "Schenk mir Was" and "Rassmus" respectively. "Schenk mir Was" would be retitled as "Gib mir deine Augen", had some slight changes made to the lyrics and was ultimately released in December 2012 as a B-side of the Mein Herz brennt single. For "Rassmus" the lyrics were re-arranged, the original musical composition was entirely scrapped and replaced with a new one and the song was released officially in May 2019 on the band's Untitled seventh album under the name "Was ich liebe". In 2013, the song "Führe mich" was featured in Lars von Trier's film Nymphomaniac.[17]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Liebe ist für alle da was certified platinum in Finland before its release, solely from pre-release sales.[18] It debuted at number 3 in the French charts.[19] The album also reached number 13 on the US charts, making it Rammstein's highest-charting album in the United States, although it subsequently fell off after four weeks. In Germany, the album entered the charts at number 1 after the best start of a music album in 2009[20] and beating popular German R&B singer Xavier Naidoo's new album Alles kann besser werden. It remained high in the charts until it was censored.

Censorship

[edit]

The album was added to the List of Media Harmful to Young Persons of the Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors in Germany, due to the track "Ich tu dir weh" and a picture inside the album booklet displaying Richard Kruspe spanking a nude woman.[21] The Federal Minister of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, Ursula von der Leyen, was in charge of the request to rate the Rammstein album.[22] This meant only adults could purchase the album; additionally, it could not be displayed in stores that are accessible for minors (see BPjM for details).[23] As a consequence, the album was re-released in Germany on 16 November in an edited version without the song and the picture.[24][25]

The video for "Ich tu dir weh" was released on 21 December 2009 on the adult website Visit-X, after advertisement on the band's official website. Since the album is no longer classified as harmful to minors, the video is available on YouTube.

On 31 May 2010, the administrative court in Cologne decided to waive the suspensive effect of the censorship.[26] The German department deleted the record from the censorship lists on 1 June.[27] On 9 June, the band announced on their official website that the original version of the album was available at their shop and that a release of the single "Ich tu dir weh" in Germany was planned in a short period of time.[28] The single was eventually released on 5 February 2010 and in the UK on 15 February 2010.[29]

In the USA the cover was censored and hidden behind an extra paper, which showed the same artwork, but with an empty table on the front. The USA also censored the song title of Pussy to P***y, using a sticker.[citation needed]

Notes

  • According to Richard Kruspe, "B********" stands for "Bückstabü", a nonce word made up by the band to mean whatever the listener wants it to mean.[30]
  • The song "Frühling in Paris" features lyrics from the song "Non, je ne regrette rien" by Edith Piaf.
  • The second track, "Ich tu dir weh", is replaced by four seconds of silence on the censored version of the album in Germany.[24] It is marked on the case as "Ich tu dir weh* *Entfernt nach Zensur durch die Behörden der Bundesrepublik Deutschland."
