Buyer Beware In fact it is amazing and I encourage all my friends to buy it. I give this one star not because I dislike the album. However, the album you are looking at above is the TVT version and is now out of print. Metropolis Records is re-releasing this album on March 6th with an additional bonus track. You can find the pre-order by doing a search for Nihil.
Get this album only if you are a completest. Otherwise get the new version like I am.
One of the very best from KMFDM.
Recognized the first track, "Ultra," right away when I saw a trailer for Manga and just had to start dancing. Sure, since MDFMK, they have become probably one of the most revered industrial bands out there; but this is a personal favorite of mine, pre-MDFMK. "Disobedience" has to be my favorite track on the album - truly unique for KMFDM's style, but certainly a treat, accompanied by brass instruments and an amazing guitar riff that knocked me flat on my back. If you like KMFDM and have not yet heard this album, I would highly recommend it. It's worth its money.
addictive little industrial gem
this is definately among my top industrial albums. . that i have heard. the other kmfdm cds being out of print really doesnt help a curious mind at all. if you want this album cheap, go get it on ebay. i don't think there are any over 20 dollars. i have yet to get angst, symbols and the other out of print kmfdm albums, but im going to end up getting them.
is it just me, or is all the good music going out of print and STAYING there?
oh well, it only makes kmfdm's old stuff seem like a delicacy which is a good thing.
harder than the rest
Well at least its not as dark as some of the music I listen to, but it is definantly awsome. This is not as dark as some reviews say it is. It kind of picks up where angst left off with the guitars, but on this cd Ramond Watts is in the mix. This is probably the most popular KMFDM cd. Especially with Hits like Juke Joint Jezebell.
Ultra 6/10 At first I thought this song was awsome but overtime it got boring
Juke Joint Jezebel 8/10 This is the song that gets most people into KMFDM. I think its a good song but I can think of about 25 other songs from them Id rather here. Dont get me wrong this one is fun, but when I think of KMFDM I think of songs like,Flesh, Glory, Dogma, Anarchy, Free your hate, apathy and stray bullet.
Flesh 10/10 speaking about flesh this is the first great song on this cd. Watts does an excellent job on the vocalls and the guitars just kick ass. This one should definantly be one of there more popular songs.
Beast 9/10 I really like this one. Its got fun lyrics and great music
Terror 10/10 Great beat and great lyrics. Really catchy. The first time I heard this one I couldnt get it out of my head all day
Search and Destroy 10/10 Another of my favorites. It is really fast and energetic. Great lyrics "will we close our eyes and fall for their lies, or will we make the conclusion that this lifes a dilousion.
Disobediance 9/10 When I bought this cd I never would have thought that I would like this song. But it grew on me and now its one of my favorite songs on here. If your not used to horns give this one time and it will make a fan out of you.
Revolution 8/10 Beautiful singing from Darona. She is my second favorite KMFDM female vocalist after of course the sexy Lucia.
Brute 10/10 Another hard song. once again watts is the man . The guitars ar really good.
Trust 8/10 this one reminds me of brute and beast in a way. Pretty good song to close out the cd.
This is one of the most important cds to buy. If you can find it under 15 dollars pick it up right away. Its out of print. I bought it at 25 and it was worth it, but the day after somebody was selling it for 10$. F$%k!.
Not the best, but it's great.
While I agree that it is great, it's certainly not the best. It's amazing how many reviews I've read touting this album as the best KMFDM album there is. That honor belongs to either Symbols or Naive (the original, not Hell to Go).
This album is a great place to start for any KMFDM newcomer, and it's also a great one to pick up if you're a longtime KMFDM fan. I guess basically what I'm trying to say is that this is an excellent album to pick up. Period.
