Don't Pay Premium Price for old KMFDM cd's!!!!!!!
This album is great, definitely one of the bands best. I bought this cd long before it became "out of print". I can't wait to get my hands on the re-issue, the sound is going to be even better. KMFDM fans know the bands reissuing their back catalogue on Metropolis (you know, those out of print KMFDM releases on Wax Trax that these blood suckers are selling for outrageous prices), the packaging is even better with more pics and extensive liner notes. So, think about it, why would you want to pay premium for an old Wax Trax copy when you can get the reissue which is ten times better and has been digitally remastered?

TRUE FANS SHOULD WAIT AND BUY THE REISSUES INSTEAD, AND THEY'RE COMING OUT SOON, YOU'LL BE HELPING THE BAND, DON'T BUY THOSE EXPENSIVE OLD USED COPIES, SHOW THESE BLOOD SUCKERS KMFDM FANS ARE NOT STUPID PEOPLE!.


Whatever the price you have to pay....
. . . it is worth the money. Luckily, I paid 'bout $14 dollars for it. Still worth the money. I now need to invest in getting a CD burner because I know I'm gonna wear out this CD once I get a set of wheels.


It's a good CD, but...
00+ ????? I don't understand that. why the F#@! is it $55.


sticks in one's cd layer
since every album of thiers differs in style very much. kmfdm are a hard band to pick and choose favorites with. this album is amazing. especially when listened to in the car and loud bass. every old person looks at you and thinks "wtf?" upon first listen, this album may seem a bit boring and will make you want to skip on to the next track,but that is HARDLY what it is. over a period of 2 days, i have gotten used to every song on this album except maybe one or two of them. guess what? they are all awesome!! this is a definate worthy follow up to the almighty xtort. if you have any interest in goth techno clubs or good music in general, then this is your album.

this is the music real goths should like instead of whiny screamo.


One of their best
It's pretty unanimous among fans new and old that Symbols is not to be missed. This was the last truly great KMFDM album, and one of the band's best. In general, KMFDM's sound sways between hard rock and techno from album to album--this particular release slants heavily toward techno. In general, everything that makes KMFDM good is present on this CD: Ray Watts, En Esch, Skold, Ogre, and Guenter provide a perfect sampling of KMFDM's major players on rotation throughout its existence to this point. Abby Travis is also one of the most stand-out guest female vocalists in the bunch. I could go through the tracklist, but must simply state that every song is top-notch, though a couple of 'em took me a bit longer to really notice. This is Sascha and co. at one of their peaks. Quit reading this and buy it.
