Best KMFDM in years.
I love it. love the song "People Of The Lie", love Lucia's voice, love KMFDM!!! One of the greatest industrial rock bands in the history of the genre. Great lyrics, great showmanship, great artwork, and most of all great music. Awesome!.


Time to pull the plug, Sascha K
Not since "Adios" when Skold and En Esch were members has this band put together anything remotely innovative. "Two and a half decades of conceptual continuity" has proven to be a decade too long. I gave Lucia Cifarelli chance after chance to prove herself after major hiccups on "Attak", but her voice is miscast in this band and her lyrics are a mere parody of those written by Schultz and En Esch back in their heyday.

The "Adios" album, which was released in 1999, was a fitting coda to a band that never failed to reinvent itself on each album. To new listeners of KMFDM, go back and listen to Adios. That CD alone has more versatility than Blitz, Hau Ruck, WWIII, and Attak combined.

The modern, 21st century incarnation of KMFDM is a band only too conscious of its limitations. And because of this they're forced to rehash their previous album (some songs on Hau Ruck and Blitz sound remarkably alike) or quit outright. To veteran listeners, the second option is sounding more and more appealing.

A band that was once the crown ingenuity has been relegated to a tired, one-trick pony act.


The KMFDM album I've been waiting for!
This is the KMFDM I know and love. I didn't really like the last two KMFDM albums, but up till then I was totally addicted. I think Lucia does a fantastic job on this album, and and Sasha's synth treatments sound like a tornado hitting a weapons plant during an opera. If you like Attak and WWIII, this falls in with those.

**FOLLOW-UP SEP 19 - After owning this for a few months, I'm still listening to it. Just got tickets for their SF show next month; can't wait.


WORST RELEASE EVER

TRACK IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IS AWFUL. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.
KMFDM IS DEAD.
THIS RELEASE IS JUST CLEAR CONFIRMATION THE BAND TOTALLY LOST ITS CAPABILITY TO CREATE REALLY STUNNING SOUNDS.


Eh.
I'm not a big fan, so this really killed it for me. This album is heavy with Lucia vocals. What happened to Käpt'n K? I'd prefer to hear his vocal work. It seems like the past few albums have been 'Lucia and Co. ' I suppose I don't see the appeal. There were some good points to the album--I find the music awesome, but I'd not suggest buying it unless you really like Lucia's voice, or you NEED to have this album. Like I said, I prefer K's vocal work, but they're definately lacking in the recent past. I do suggest Skold vs. KMFDM, though. No Lucia!!.
