Kind of a wierd experience
But, considering it can also be found on the album Reise, Reise (ausgezeichnetes Album, uebrigens), which is probably cheaper than this single, if the song is all you're after, you may consider going there insead. Amerika is a very interesting song because it provides a primary source on the outside perspectives of our country, without any media spin.

The single also features "Mein Herz brennt" (which can also be found on Mutter), a remix of "Amerika" (which is exclusive to this single), and the "Ich will Orchesterlied VII" (which came from the album Mein Herz brennt).

The remix of "Amerika" was just plain wierd. I didn't like it. It sounded as if someone had dropped a nuclear bomb on the song and now all that's left is a mindless, musical zombie wandering the streets without any direction or will of its own and feeding on the brain of the unsuspecting listener. At least my brain felt mushier and, well, eaten after I listened to it.

The "Ich will Orchesterlied VII" is really creepy. It doesn't sound a thing like the original, most likely because it's orchestrated and the guy who's singing doesn't even sound human. It's scary. You really need to hear it for yourself to truly know what it's like because I'm not entirely sure how to explain it.

When it comes right down to it, the main reason I bought this one in the first place was really just to add to my collection of Rammstein stuff. For that purpose, it does the job very well. As for actual utility, I guess you could use the "Ich will Orchesterlied VII" to scare your friends at night, but you'll probably get more screams from the Mein Herz brennt album. .
