This album isn't nearly as good as their previous ones, but that's mainly because it's a collection of the rejects from Reise Reise. Most of the songs are real downers, but I guess that's being experimental. As far as the music goes, I do love the experimental aspect of it. But the content matter...
An obsession over gasoline
Social oppression of homosexuals
A guy who goes to pick a rose for his girlfriend and falls off a cliff
A song about a guy who wants to jump off a bridge, but has second thoughts until the crowd tells him to jump and the narrator pushes him off to save him from embarrassment
A sappy love song about a presumably dead woman
A German/English song called "Don't die before I do"
A guy that destroys everything until he meets a blind girl. He wishes that she could see, so she opens her eyes and leaves him.
A song about a little kid who plays with matches and gets burnt to death
A hilarious song in Mexican Spanish called "I love you, Bitch"
A song about swimming and looking at fireworks shooting out of a woman's vagina (I don't know how to decode the metaphor there, if there is one)
A nice children's song about being good.
So, it's nice to listen to, but it's certainly not impressive. Do download "Te Quiero Puta", the full version (there are numerous copies online that are just the main verse repeated four times). It's just great.
