Album of the Week: Lindemann’s Skills in Pills
I know Lindemann just released their second album (F&M), but I have such a soft spot for their 2015 debut, Skills in Pills, which is why I chose it as album of the week. The first song I ever heard from Lindemann was “Praise Abort,” and oddly enough, it sold me on this band. Or perhaps it is simply that Till Lindemann is half of the duo and I adore him.

The album, entitled Halfway to Hell, is available for pre-save on Spotify.
