KMFDM - Opium - 26-Sep-06 08:41 AM
I would recommend this cd to people who are KMFDM fans and not to a casual listener of music. This is a great insight on what KMFDM sounded like when they first started out. Although this was originally recorded on cassette and thought to be lost sometime in the early to mid 90's, it seems as they had the recording all along just waiting for it to be the right time to re-release it so they can take a break from making cd's. Similar to what they did with the releases of Retro and Agogo. I recommend all the tracks although some can get a little boring at times, but Helmut Mein Helmut is a notable one. Great music for a true KMFDM fan.
Ministry - Rio Grande Blood - 20-Sep-06 07:27 AM
This release is WAY too political. I understand that he is trying to spread his view of what he thinks of the government, but it just got too in the way of what should of come first, his music. It just seems as he decided to take the easy road to make some money. I'm not trying to take sides here as far as political views go, but when you listen to a couple of songs, you already know what the rest of them are going to talk about. If this was an EP, then I probably would of given this a higher rating and a better review. But since it's an LP, he just picked a topic (Pres. Bush, obviously) and made a whole album out of it. It's boring and it makes him seem that he can't come up with anything good anymore. There is no doubt that this album will sell seeing as all the publicity that it's been getting since it is a government bashing record. But that doesn't mean that it's good. Psalm 69 was the last good record that he's put out and that was because he was all drugged out. Now that he's, from what I hear, supposedly sober, the quality of his music has dropped.
Apoptygma Berzerk - Harmonizer - 19-Sep-06 04:49 AM
As much as I want to like this album, I just can't. When I first heard that Apoptygma Berzerk was back in the studio recording a new album, I was estatic. But then when I was looking at it on the internet and saw some stupid names for some of the track titles, it kind of turned me off from this release. Photoshop sucks and Pikachu, even a 12yr old could come up with better track titles. Then when I heard it, I was thinking to myself, "what the hell is this? This isnt Apoptygma". The only notable tracks on here are Unicorn and Until The End Of The World. If you are a die hard APB fan, then by all means, go buy this album. On the other hand, if you were expecting something along the lines of his older stuff or a sound similar to that of Welcome To Earth, just pass this one by. As far as the direction his sound is going, he's just trying too hard to be the new flavor of the week. Get some sleep Mr. Groth, as it seems that your getting delerious.
