    Sehnsucht (Rammstein album)

    Sehnsucht (German for "yearning", see Sehnsucht) is the second album by German industrial metal band Rammstein, released on 25 August 1997.

    The album booklet folds out to reveal six different covers, one for each band member (each photo depicting the member with bizarre facial-wear made out of ordinary kitchen objects like spatulas, spoons, forks etc.). The cover most commonly seen features Till Lindemann with an egg-lifter worn as a muzzle and bent forks over his eyes worn as sunglasses. The cover art was created by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein, who also created the cover for the Scorpions' Blackout album, which is very similar to the Sehnsucht cover and even the forks in both covers are the same. Sehnsucht is the only album entirely in German to be certified platinum by the RIAA in the US.

    Track listing

    All songs written and composed by Rammstein, except "Sehnsucht" written by Rammstein and Orgasm Death Gimmick and "Tier", written by Rammstein and Jürgen Engler. 

    Multitier architecture

    In software engineering, multitier architecture (often referred to as n-tier architecture) is a client–server architecture in which presentation, application processing, and data management functions are physically separated. The most widespread use of multitier architecture is the three-tier architecture.

    N-tier application architecture provides a model by which developers can create flexible and reusable applications. By segregating an application into tiers, developers acquire the option of modifying or adding a specific layer, instead of reworking the entire application. A three-tier architecture is typically composed of a presentation tier, a domain logic tier, and a data storage tier.

    While the concepts of layer and tier are often used interchangeably, one fairly common point of view is that there is indeed a difference. This view holds that a layer is a logical structuring mechanism for the elements that make up the software solution, while a tier is a physical structuring mechanism for the system infrastructure.

    Tier

    by: Die toten Hosen

    Laufen, laufen, laufen -
    immer wieder hin und her.
    Stumm und voller Ungeduld,
    die für immer brennen wird.
    Wie ein Tier in einem Käfig,
    nach vorne und zurück,
    voller Hass und Verachtung,
    auf sich und diese Welt.
    Durch die Gitter kann man all die fetten Sieger sehen,
    wie sie dauernd blöde Witze machen und lachend vorübergehen.
    Mit den Händen an den Gitterstäben,
    wie 'ne Spinne an ihrem Netz.
    Ein Feigling wirft einen dicken Stein,
    der an der Wand zerfetzt.
    In freier Wildbahn hätte man leichtes Spiel,
    ein Sprung und alles wäre klar.
    Doch der Wunsch auf Rache bleibt unerfüllt
    und man nimmt ihn mit ins Grab.
    Niemand sperrt die Gitter auf,
    sie stecken fest im Kopf.
    Die Schlüssel passen lang nicht mehr
    auf das alte Schloss.
    Und draußen vor dem Käfig kann man die Sieger sehen,
    wie sie gelangweilt durch die Gegend stieren und vorübergehen.
