Einstürzende Neubauten has once again emerged from the junkyard where their “instruments” were found. With them, they bring their brand new album Alles Wieder Offen, which is already a big hit before it has even been released. Radio programs like Radio Goethe have songs like “Let’s Do It A Dada”, “Die Wellen” and the title track “Alles Wieder Offen” playing quite often, making EN fans drool for the full album that’s not coming out until October 19th (or the 23rd for the U.S.).

From the music I’ve heard so far, the album is typical of recent Einstürzende Neubauten music. Their old chaotic clanging and banging has given way to a more beautiful type of experimentation, and Blixa’s voice is an instrument all by itself. Of course, there is still plenty of pounding on scraps of metal that I love from Einstürzende Neubauten, its just usually more harmonious now. I’m really looking forward to the entire album.

If you’re a Neubauten fan, you’ve probably been following the band’s progress on the album’s website Alles-Wieder-Offen.com. On the site, there are webpages for each of the 10 songs on the album which give you a little history about the songs and provide the lyrics in both German and English. On the page for EN’s first (digital) single “Weil Weil Weil“, you can also download an MP3 of the song. There’s also a news page and a blog to keep you up to date, and a press area where you can check out press text, pictures of the band, and other goodies like that.
