Unfortunately, most of these are bootleg vinyls, as the only two Rammstein albums officially released on vinyl are Mutter and Liebe ist fur Alle Da. Consequently, the audio quality is worse than the CD version for all but those two albums. Bootleg vinyl = CD rip cut to vinyl. It does sound different than the CD because it has added noise/pops/crackles from the vinyl, as well as the CD rip used to make the vinyl had the volume lowered and/or declipping applied in order to cut to vinyl. Also, the channels are reversed for no apparent reason. The Mutter Japan vinyl is also a bootleg. Better results can be achieved by declipping those albums yourself with a good declipper. Since whoever made the bootleg vinyls made them by declipping and/or lowering the volume, you get a better result by doing this yourself and skipping the step of an amateur vinyl cutting operation, which only added unnecessary distortion. It is impossible to produce the quality of a proper vinyl master by declipping the CD because it is impossible to completely restore clipped or brickwalled audio. However, the clarity of the audio can still be cleaned up considerably, and in some instances - depending on the severity of the clipping or brickwalling - some semblance of dynamics can be restored. The program does this by using algorithms that analyze the audio around the damaged sections and recreate peaks based on that info. It is making an educated guess, so it cannot be 100% accurate or what necessarily would have been if it were mastered better to begin with, but it can still be an improvement. The clipping can be removed nearly entirely in most instances, or at least enough that it is not audible and not visible on a waveform. The end result is a quieter, clearer/cleaner sounding album that you can turn up louder without sounding severely distorted and sometimes previously inaudible sounds are revealed.
