Links 2-3-4 is the second single off the album Mutter by Rammstein. It was released on 14 May 2001.

Information

  • This single was released as the first single of the album Mutter in the USA. Therefore the USA did not receive a release of the Sonne single.

Promotion

The single had a few different promotional CDs with different contents. Promotional CDs were released mainly in Germany, Mexico and the USA. The German 2-track single includes a special shortened edit of the "Westbam Technolectro Remix" of the song, which is not available anywhere else.

The German promotional CD included a two-sided promotional sheet, which presented the following text:

German original
 

Rammstein, das ist Beständigkeit, Qualität und Können pur. Einige Resultate. Die zahlreichen Auszeichnungen und Award Nominierungen im In- und Ausland sprechen für sich. Aber Rammstein ist auch Veränderung, Experimentierfreude und Weiterentwicklung. Die Mixtur aus Metal-Elementen, poppig-gefärbten Hooks und treibenden Techno-Beats legte das Basis für den sensationellen Erfolg der Band, die jetzt mit dem Album Mutter erneut ein Ausnahme-Album kreiert hat.

Das belegte bereits nachdrücklich die heroische, hymnenhafte Vorab-Single Sonne - und so war es dann nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass Mutter nicht nur hierzulande sofort wieder die Pole Position der Charts übernahm, sondern auch in Österreich, der Schweiz und in den European Album Charts die Nr. 2.

Jetzt kommt mit Links 2 3 4 die nächste Single (VÖ: 14.5.01). Ein Track, mit dem Rammstein zunächst einmal selbst für die letzten Zweifler eine Sache definitiv klarstellen: Das Rammstein-Herz schlägt links. Basta! Doch neben diesem politischen Bekenntnis ist Links 2 3 4 in allererster Linie eins - ein grandioser Song in bester Rammstein-Manier!.

Wie von Rammstein nicht anders zu erwarten, ist dies aber nicht alles, was die Single auszeichnet. So ist auf Links 2 3 4 mit Halleluja ein exklusiver Non-Album-Track, sowie zwei grossartige Remixe von niemand geringerem als DJ Westbam himself (Technolectro Mix und Hard Rock Café Mix) und ein Metal Mix aus der Clawfinger-Schmiede enthalten.

English Deepl translation
 

Rammstein, that is consistency, quality and pure skill. Some results. The numerous awards and award nominations at home and abroad speak for themselves. But Rammstein is also change, experimentation and further development. The mixture of metal elements, pop-tinged hooks and driving techno beats laid the foundation for the sensational success of the band, which has now created another exceptional album with the album Mutter.

This was already emphatically proven by the heroic, anthemic pre-release single Sonne - and so it was then no surprise that Mutter not only immediately took over the pole position of the charts in this country again, but also in Austria, Switzerland and in the European Album Charts No. 2.

Now comes the next single with Links 2 3 4 (release date: 14.5.01). A track with which Rammstein first of all make one thing definitely clear, even for the last doubters: The Rammstein heart beats on the left. Basta! But besides this political declaration, Links 2 3 4 is first and foremost one thing - a terrific song in best Rammstein style!

As you would expect from Rammstein, however, this is not all that distinguishes the single. Links 2 3 4 contains Halleluja, an exclusive non-album track, as well as two great remixes by none other than DJ Westbam himself (Technolectro Mix and Hard Rock Café Mix) and a metal mix from the Clawfinger forge.
