2009 studio album by Lacrimosa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sehnsucht is the tenth album by the German gothic rock duo Lacrimosa, released on 8 May 2009. Singer and producer Tilo Wolff wanted to create an album that was less conceptual and more spontaneous than the previous releases by Lacrimosa. Therefore, Sehnsucht features a great variability of musical expressions like a sarcastic track "Feuer" and the tender song "Call Me With The Voice Of Love".[1] The planned release of a vinyl format album was cancelled shortly before the final release of Sehnsucht.[2]

In a positive review the German Sonic Seducer magazine lauded the freshness of the songs as well as singer Anne Nurmi's facetted and self-confident vocals,[1] while the Side-Line magazine did not discover much new material in the album and compared the sound of "I Lost My Star in Krasnodar" to Rammstein. However, the author awarded five out of six points.[4] The laut.de online magazine complained about the lack of quality in Wolff's singing and about weak lyrics but at the same time made very positive statements about his skills in arranging classical elements, Hard rock and Metal.[3]
