Information

  • On 2 December 2015, a competition was held where fans were asked about their favourite Rammstein song. The winner was able to win the XXI box number 6, with a written dedication by the band.[1]
  • All albums are remastered and pressed on 180g 12" vinyl.
  • Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Reise, Reise and Rosenrot are released on vinyl for the first time.
  • Liebe ist für alle da was only slightly changed on the vinyl stickers. The credits are now a bit longer.
  • The backpaper of the box has a small mistake on it: under the song Halleluja it says that the single for Links 2-3-4 was released in 1998.
  • The box includes an additional release, called Raritäten. Compared to the streaming compilation of the same name, the LPs are missing Mutter (Vocoder Version) and 5/4, but include the previously unreleased Los (Full Band Version), which remains a vinyl exclusive.
  • The box is limited to 14,000 copies world wide.
  • All six studio albums were released as standalone each on 8 December 2017, followed by further reissues.

Differences

  • The Pilgrim logo is replaced by the Rammstein logo.
  • The lyrics are all re-arranged for the new 12" size.

Herzeleid

Sehnsucht

  • The LP booklet has just three pages, as opposed to the six pages of the CD booklet.
  • The band name is not printed with silver foil on the cover.

Mutter

  • The album is extended to a double disc LP. The original vinyl edition from 2001 had just one disc.
  • The Rammstein logo on the front and back of the artwork is replaced with the thicker version.
  • The break in Mutter is extended at the beginning.
  • In Spieluhr the last chorus is re-arranged vocally, making it begin with the second part and therefore repeat it twice consecutively.
  • The transition between Rein raus and Adios is removed, due to the vinyl separation.
  • Adios is missing the high pitched sound at the beginning of the song.
  • The first verse of Nebel is missing three guitar harmonics.

Reise, Reise

Alternate cover
  • In the promotional video, the cover for the album was a little different.
  • The band name is embossed on the cover.
  • The hidden track Flugzeuglärm is missing on the vinyl.
  • The transition between Dalai Lama and Keine Lust is removed, due to the vinyl separation; additionally the cymbal fade-in is cut off earlier as well.
  • The guitar on the intro and before the third verse of Los is audible (although quieter) on the right channel, whereas it's usually panned to only the left channel.
  • The transition between Amerika and Moskau is removed, due to the vinyl separation.
  • During Stein um Stein, one of the vocal takes of the line "ich schaffe dir ein Heim" comes in earlier, not syncing up with the other take. Also, the "ramm" from the third verse is repeated twice during the break.

Rosenrot

  • The band name is embossed on the cover.
  • The ship at the end of the CD booklet is missing in the LP booklet.
  • The title Stirb nicht vor mir (Don't Die Before I Do) is changed to Stirb nicht vor mir / Don't Die Before I Do on the tracklist.
  • The lyrics of Spring and Rosenrot are switched on the booklet pages, now following the tracklist order correctly.
  • The first and third chorus of Benzin are re-arranged vocally, moving two of the "Benzin" shouts to the following part.
  • Spring includes an additional, previously unreleased line in the bridge.
  • The outro of Stirb nicht vor mir (Don't Die Before I Do) fades out faster.
  • All the female background voices and shouts on Te quiero puta! are removed, the female main vocals on the bridge are done by a different singer and the outro fades out faster as well.

Liebe ist für alle da

Raritäten

  • The mistake saying that the single Links 2-3-4 was released in 1998 is also on the credits of the vinyl itself.
  • The ending of Feuerräder has some reverb added after the cut.
  • The intro of Das Modell is replaced by a copy of the outro in shorter, omitting the catwalk noises and Mathilde Bonnefoy's announcement completely. However, she's still credited on the tracklist of the vinyl.
  • The bridge of Stripped is extended like on the album version, yet has a shorter last chorus to match the single version's runtime.
  • Donaukinder has an extended bridge, is replacing the guitar solo with an additional chorus, which has the children choir sing the "Wo sind die Kinder" line without Till, has a different synth during the last chorus and the outro fades out slower.
