KMFDM – Xtort

The Sargent Peppers Magical Mystery Tour of Industrial Rock; this album sounds harder and meaner with every miserable year that passes by. Classic Wax Trax! hard as hell sounding press. I bought this record along with Nihil, brand new for $9.99 in the 90s, back in the good old days of record collecting. Worth every penny. "We're so broke, we're broken. We're so poor, we can't even pay attention."

This album sounds great. No surface noise. An all around great pressing.

A vinyl reissue of this is certainly due. KMFDM in their prime.

KMFDM's eighth studio album, and just barely their second best, the only thing that makes this album slightly of less quality than "Nihl" is the fact that old bandmate and collaborator Raymond Watts had once again departed from the fold. This doesn't say much bad about the album though, still easily their second best effort, and of equal production quality as Nihil (they easily both could've been a double album), there is even a few standout tracks that really stand out in general even in their entire catalog, tracks like "Dogma" showing that even after eight albums, KMFDM could still come up with an original approach to writing a track that would catch fans off guard. Same goes for this album as Nihil, each song is worth listening to and counts, so almost no point in dissecting them. At this point they had their sound down to a science. It's also worth mentioning that Sasha has said before that this was in his opinion the best KMFDM album, or at least his favorite. Listen and enjoy!
