The new Rammstien album is available with a six sex toys boxed set edition.

It’s a great way to stir up some controversy and get some added news exposure, but the sex toys included from what I can tell are simply a half dozen cheap jelly dildos. Sure it looks kind of cool, and makes me wonder why other musicians have not had the balls to release albums with sex toy box sets. I imagine if Janet Jackson or Madonna had a box set with a pocket pussy molded from their snatch, they could easily get $200 for the album, and it could include a a strap on autographed in a another version.
I first learned some details about the new Rammstein album via a post at ad rants, they talked about how they were being very shock-promoted having videos showing butchers butchering meat along with sexual videos and music that pushed limits of Sado Masochism and such. I viewed the sample videos and was not impressed, actually I was a bit turned off, as I have no desire to watch a butcher hacking up meat, so I clicked off and wrote it off as some Marilyn Manson type of shock-hype. I have enjoyed some of Rammstiens music in the past, I am particularly fond of their songs “du Haust” and Stripped.
It’s been a chore to find any uncensored videos from the new album, at first I was only able to find 20 second samples on youtube, which were obviously edited. My girlfriend was able to find this video for the song “pussy” on youtube when she was logged into her age verified youtube account. The song seems pretty good, but the video itself appears censored. It may be the only and perhaps the only song from the new album that I will enjoy. I expect to hear this new song in every strip in the near future.

Will the album sell well? So far I am only impressed with one song, and perhaps that’s be worth spending a dollar on to show my support for a band I dig and for artists who are on a major label to make really dirty music. The rest of the song and video samples have left me unimpressed. I do like the marketing ploy of offering a sex toy box set however. It would be a cool collectors item, especially since it comes with a flight case to hold everything out of view of the ‘rents when they visit, and it’d make a cool conversation piece in any bachelor pad or swingers party.
I first read about the sex toy box set at anti-music, which says that the album has been banned or age restricted in several countries already.
