Background

In a later interview on Reddit, Tankian was asked how the collaboration had come about, replying: "Chino asked and I obliged :) We´ve all been friends and toured together for many years" [2]

Reception

Calling the song an "industrial banger with swooshy space-rock overlays," Rolling Stone writer Christian Hoard favorably compared Chino Moreno's vocal style to that of Thom Yorke.[3] Conversely, NME panned "Mein," writing: "This song reminds us of when we used to have MTV2 and had to switch to VH1 Classic every time Back To School came on, or we’d get a headache. Boooooring."[4]

"Mein" garnered little radio play and subsequently failed to chart significantly on American rock charts, peaking at number 40 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[5]

Music video

During the week of January 20, 2007, the band filmed a music video for "Mein", which was subsequently leaked to YouTube on March 2. Directed by Bernard Gourley, the video depicted hip hop influences and breakdancers, while the band performed on top of a parking structure with the Los Angeles skyline in the background.[6]
