posted a review of Kraftwelt - Electric Dimension. 10 months ago
As a huge fan of Hypnotic Records this is a joy to see on vinyl. Yes, many songs are missing, but the important tracks remain. I'm really hoping this means the possibility of more albums from the label getting a vinyl reissue (given it was just a sub... See full review

This one is a masterpiece. I can only imagine it will get vinyl some day, I feel like it must. There isn't a whole lot of video out there from this era, and for this being such an immaculately recorded album, it feels like it's just as important or... See full review

No, this was unique because he was working on this for so long. This was a demo to get signed with I believe (the infamous recordings he did while working in a studio before getting signed, that get talked about by him in interviews so often). There... See full review

In response to the comment below, If this goes up in value it won't for years, probably just like "pretty hate machine demos"., bootleg values are usually strictly based on availability (not that legit releases are all that different). Sidenote, I... See full review

First, this is far inferior to the soundtrack that appears in the boxset, or the movie for that matter. I remember getting this on CD back in the day and being disappointed. The Credits theme isn't even on here?! What you WANT is "Tetsuo Complete... See full review

This is actually said the be the first pressing, the others supposedly came after. If I had to guess, others were rushed out to meet demands, maybe there was funding issues causing variations in the labels. Highly unlikely for camo to be first given... See full review

I've seen several of these, including mine, that didn't have the inner sleeve, but instead had a thin plastic sleeve, can anyone help verify this? Also, my copy has an advertisement for the Combat Tour Ultimate Revenge VHS tape.

Not terrible stuff, but wildly unoriginal. "From 97- to 99", I highly doubt it. Sounds like someone sat around figuring out RDJ's early recording techniques and just exploited them for profit. It Sounds like RDJ, but it has something missing. I would... See full review

Yeah?...Until Weezer is able to put out an album that eclipses the Blue Album, Matt Sharp is going to go down in history as what made Weezer good.

The quality of this pressing is beyond anything I could have anticipated. It is complete. You have all the singles compiled on the second record, a super glossy gatefold, expanded art, a postcard with a 1st gen incarnation pic of RIchard, Al, and Luc,... See full review

Don't mind at all that this is a bootleg, or a cd rip, I mean, There is no original LP, so... My biggest complaint is that it's not the E-magine release, because there was a lot more useful tracks on that one if you already own Unholy passion. If you... See full review

This is BY FAR the best thing out there of The Screamers. Pretty much everything, with the exception of the Target Video is a bootleg, so why this gets listed as a bootleg and others don't is beyond me. It's worth noting that the recordings on here... See full review

The soundtracks being reissued again along with the other films between now and Halloween this year. Good riddance, I hope the re-sellers trying to sell this record for 300 and up get stuck letting them go for 40. Music is meant to be enjoyed, not put... See full review

The first album of KMFDM 2.0. This was after a complete collapse of the band, and a reformation (Minus original and essential members En Esch and Gunter). I tried to review all the original studio albums, and wanted to make it to review this one, but... See full review
KMFDM - Adios

KMFDM's tenth studio effort, and a scraping of the bottom of an amazing career sadly. Where Symbols lacked, that goes double for Adios. Now instead of two big singles and a collection of random songs, you have one big single and a collection of random... See full review

KMFDM's ninth studio album, and sadly the beginning of the end for them. Not a bad album by any means (easily still in their top five best), but not their former glory, such as Nihl, Xtort, or even Angst. People wanting fast and catchy singles will be... See full review
KMFDM - Xtort
posted a review of KMFDM - Xtort. over 7 years ago
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... See full review
KMFDM - Nihil
posted a review of KMFDM - Nihil. over 7 years ago
KMFDM's seventh studio album. Personally I have always considered this to be their magnum opus, every track is worth listening to. The album takes off with "Ultra", and you're instantly sent into a hybrid of metal and industrial wall of sound upped... See full review

KMFDM's sixth studio album, and arguably the "heaviest" album of the original band's existence. This was the first album with guitarist Mark Durante, and engineer Chris Shepard, both of which were on the next 2 albums, which are arguably considered... See full review

KMFDM's fifth studio album, originally intended as a double album: album one, a solo album from Sasha, with En Esch's solo making the second piece of an album intended to be called "apart", and possibly to be the last KMFDM album, Money was reformed,... See full review

This is KMFDM's first effort. If you're getting into them, and want to delve into their catalog, this would probably be the last album to visit. Though all the key members are there, the sound isn't quite there yet. KMFDM started as an art project,... See full review

As others have pointed out, the original mix of "cosmic cars" is missing from this reissue, as both mixes are the "Detroit style mix".. Do yourself a favor and just pick up the cosmic cars single second hand. Other than that, its a decent reissue,... See full review
Front 242 - No Comment

This is probably the "rawest" sounding Front 242 album released; the reason for that is based in the technology behind the album. Front's previous album (Geography), was grounded in using instruments that had been around for a while (analog... See full review

Probably their Magnum Opus, "The Process" is easily one of Puppy's more debated albums among fans. The problem with this album is it's a pop sensible rock album from an anti-pop and in a sense anti-rock band. Tracks like "Candle" and "Cult" ride the... See full review

Black Flag - Six Pack

If Nervous...was the Kieth EP, and Jealous... was the Reyes EP, then Six Pack is the equally important Dez EP. Dez is often overlooked because his vocal style was so similar to Rollins, and the main track ended up being re-done on Damaged. "I've heard... See full review

How or why Black Flag turned into this after My War & Family Man is a mystery. By this point Black flag started to flirt with an almost metal sound, with an album drenched in reverb and overproduction. Not to say that this is a bad thing, but many... See full review

Black Flag - My War
posted a review of Black Flag - My War. over 12 years ago
People either love or hate this record, probably because it sounds so harsh, dark, and serious. I like to think of My War as the painful sound of punk trying to evolve into something more. This album probably had just as big an influence on Hardcore,... See full review

An awkward pit-stop between the hardcore thrash sound of "Damaged" and the dark, heavy sound of "My War". Not a bad album, just not their best either.
Black Flag - Damaged

If your looking for a starting point for Black Flag's music, look no further than "Damaged". Damaged is a non-stop musical movement full of high speed, high energy music which would later be considered the blueprint for Hardcore. Though all the songs... See full review
