Cover Art KMFDM
KMFDM
[Wax Trax!/TVT]
Rating: 8.5

Despite their repeated plea not to be classified as an electronic or techno band -- or even a band, for that matter -- I don't know how else to describe this disc without using those classifications. I mean, it's not like there's any solid rock or heart-wrenching John Denver covers in any of KMFDM's recorded repertoire, much less this single CD -- not even on the hidden tracks (there are none, by the way). It all sounds like 'lectronic techno dance music to me.

This latest release from these industrial workers contains more nicely-mixed electronica combined with their characteristically politically/ socially- charged lyrics about God and other important stuff. Best suited for the organized dance floor or your cool uncle's disco- ball- lit rumpus room.
