Playboy.de - Messer Review 27-Jan-03

Messer by Till Lindemann

What’s this about?
Till Lindemann, front man of the group Rammstein, has together with his friend Gert Hof, brought out his first volume of poems. In addition there are photos of Mr. Lindemann, white make up and in a one-piece suit, surrounded by innumerable shop window dolls.

What does this book teach us?
Each person ticks differently. In an interview in “Focus "- Mr. Lindemann said: “Last evening, when I read some my poems myself, I went to bed effortlessly and exhilarated.”

Where should one read the book?
In a bright place, otherwise one falls into a kind depression with a dark foreboding.

The playboy.de - Judgement?
In the foreword it says “Lindemann’s poems are verbal executions, poetic suicide”. Whatever that may mean.
