Customer Reviews:

One of the best - REVCO.......2007-04-13

Ministry side project that plays some unbelievably good industrial music. The album opens up with the fast-paced "38" which has Luc VanAcker on vocals. As far as I know, "38" is about a soccer riot that happened at Heysel stadium in Belgium in May 1985 that killed 38 people. One of my favorite songs on the CD. "We Shall Cleanse the World" is another dancey-yet-abrasive song with complex drum beat and a great bass line. Great for driving. "Attack Ships On Fire", which features some excellent Bill Rieflin drumming, is another great song. The remaining songs on this album also noteworthy are "No Devotion" which has a sinister and dark aspect to it, "TV mind" - very strange, "Union Carbide" - harsh abrasive industrial. The other songs and mixes are OK.

Also look into the REVCO album's "Linger Ficken Good" and "Beers, Steers, and Queers". Both are 5 stars.

crazy.......2005-05-20

This cd just has so little going for it. The music is highly repititious, offering nothing in the way of traditional song structure. The lyrics ( what little there are, most are vocal samples, or are terse, shouted refrains ) are laughable. The performances and programming are incredibly stiff ( I just can't see anyone dancing to this stuff). Despite all of this, I find myself inexplicably drawn to this cd again and again. How crazy.
If nothing else, it's all in good humour, something that all other industrial acts have either never learned or never knew to begin with.

The first and the best.......2004-12-14

Contrary to another review, this contains the same mix of You Often Forget that was on the original Wax Trax CD. Now, why they didn't include the Benign Version of that song here (or why it wasn't on the original CD edition), I'll never know. Guess I'll just have to be happy I have the 12"--still.

But, this is industrial the way I like to remember it.... back when it was something new and fresh and you never heard it unless you knew someone who was into it. The kids today might consider this tame, but at least it's not another lame rap/metal hybrid. The kids claim Evanescense is breaking new ground when KMFDM did the same thing a decade beforehand, and better (female vocals over heavy music).

Guess I'm just old. :) Regardless, if you don't have this disc, g'ahead and get it.
