Halber Mensch is almost literally the exact same thing as the cover of Kollaps, just with a different album name and half of their logo scratched out. #DER OFFENE AUFMARSCH LYRICS ENGLISH SKIN#
Many other Einstürzende Neubauten albums like Strategies Against Architecture '80-'83, Fünf auf der nach oben offenen Richterskala and Ende Neu have this as well, the latter using the band's name over a human's eye and skin color. The front cover of Kollaps consists of only the band's logo and name with a background color being a shade of brown.Meaningful Name: The cover to Halber Mensch ("Half Man") has half of the band's logo (a cave drawing of a human) scratched out.
The official Neubauten website just refers to the whole thing as "Headcleaner." note Yes, there are two "Headcleaner III"s in the digital release. Marschlied" and "Headcleaner III: Das Gleissen / Schlacht / Lyrischer Rückzug". Digital platforms take this Up to Eleven: there's "Headcleaner I: Zentrifuge / Stabs / Rotlichtachse / Propaganda / Aufmarsch.
"Headcleaner I: Zentrifuge / Stabs / Rotlichtachse / Propaganda / Aufmarsch". Fünf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala. 
Lighter and Softer: The band went down this path with each single post- Kollaps album.Rudi Moser, one of their current percussionists, is a former firefighter. improvised pyrotechnic displays in the '80s.
Irony: Einstürzende Neubauten were known for their. "Die Explosion im Festspielhaus" is an imagining of the Big Bang as a sexual encounter. The last minute of "3 Thoughts" is virtually incomprehensible, aside from the final line note "I don't understand why my mother is afraid of me joining a Devil Sect". When performed live, the band relies on a choir or their audience to fill those parts of the song with words made up on the spot - or in other words, "canon" lyrics simply don't exist there. Indecipherable Lyrics: Intentionally in the song "Was ist, ist." It has decipherable lyrics for the vast majority of the song, however, some parts are scrambled with static. History Repeats: "Headcleaner III" ends with a warning that those who do not remember history (in this case, the horrors of fascism)or who remain neutral to itare doomed to repeat it. Nonetheless, they still showcase a wide range of textures. Genre Roulette: Neubauten gradually calmed down from the metallic percussion and noisy intensity of Kollaps in exchange for increasingly quiet conventional styles while maintaining the usage of custom musical instruments built out of found objects. Gender-Blender Name: Blixa chose his given name in part because it sounds like a female name. Feminist Fantasy: "Salamandrina" details how no mythical creature - not even the phoenix - is as powerful as the female salamander. The band also uses traditional instruments in non-standard ways, including playing guitars with violin bows. Gamelan-like installations, bull whips, and sandals as a percussion section jet turbines struck like xylophones amplified springs providing bass guitar sounds. Everything Is an Instrument: The band is famous for using this trope almost exclusively. Both releases are known for being more intense and noisier than subsequent efforts. Early Installment Weirdness: The obscure 1980 album Stahlmuzik featured a traditional drum kit, but its followup Kollaps had none of that. Early-Bird Cameo: Jochen Arbeit appeared as part of the chorus in "Was ist ist" before becoming part of Neubauten for good in 1998. But, "galaxy cumshots"? For what it's worth, the Ende Neu liner notes say it's about the Big Bang and sex simulatenously. Dissimile: Judging from the lyrics, "Die Explosion im Festspielhaus" must be a musical rendering of the Big Bang (who else than the Neubauten could attempt it). 
"Days of the Week" Song: "Mo Di Mi Do Fr Sa So". Darker and Edgier: Alles wieder offen breaks the trend of Lighter and Softer taken by the band for its bleak and somber tone and lyrics, and Lament is also this trope since it was composed for an 100th anniversary World War I memorial in Belgium. Contemptible Cover: The cover of "Haus der Lüge" features a drawing of a rather obviously male horse ejaculating. Tabula Rasa is in one part about the horrors of fascism and in another about how wonderful women are.
