Zehn kleine Jägermeister — A jaunty counting-song framework turns a succession of gruesome fates into a darkly comic singalong; its German chart success brought that mischief to a mass audience.

Alles aus Liebe — An anguished declaration of devotion shows how the band could turn emotional excess into an arena-sized rock chorus.
-
→
Nichts bleibt für die Ewigkeit Start here — Its driving guitars and expansive chorus give impermanence the force of a communal punk-rock anthem.
