1. ES IST GUT, IMMER BESSER!!! - These dudes were underground when I found them back in ', but man every release is marching them towards the best only second to Rammstein which has had many more years of success to learn from. Having said that, Eisbrecher is not far behind, finding their sound in a much shorter time span. Germany has the best everything, beer, women, music, etc, etc. Love it guys! Keep 'em comin! ES LIBE DEUTSCHLAND!!!

2. a repetition of old stuff - Please, edit - it’s supposed to be “Himmel, Arsch und Zwirn”, not “Zwim”. The album is ok, a mix-n-match of previous songs, so it’s a little boring. No step forward is a step back :) And plagiarism of Stahlmann’s “Die Welt verbrennt” in the first song of the album is a little disappointing too.

1. One of the best yet - I love this band. I listen to them more then any other for the last years. I own most of their music and its some high energy stuff like no other. This band is what gets me into the gym. I can't wait to work up a sweat and crank this music. I will probably need hearing aids soon. I love this album and can't figure out the negative reviews. Just goes to show you that we all have opinions. Thanks KMFDM for more great music and please come back to Minneapolis!

2. Backslide - Don’t get me wrong -- I frickin' love KMFDM .. own everything they put out, wear their merchandise, and see their live shows .. however .. this album seems really .. lazy? dumbed-down? simplistic? The beats are still heavy, the melodies are OK, but the lyrics / singing / shouting is just .. obvious? sophomoric? simple? This album just doesn’t hit the mark .. at all. It seems like they are trying to re-find their sound, pushing Lucia to the foreground, experimenting with new patterns (shapes!), etc,, but they seem to be losing relevance .. fast .. which is a huge shame. I’ll keep following them, hoping for a triumphant return, but this album, unfortunately, just isn’t it.

3. Ehhh - I have been listening to kmfdm for well over years and this is an ok album. It's def better then kunst but that's not saying much. There's basically two songs on the album I enjoy and that's it. Kmfdm has not put out a quality album in years. Maybe they need to finally hang it up or stop trying to pump out music every year or so. Take a few years off and then put out a new album

4. A solid EP - Another merger of two EPs to make an album. The KMFDM EP is a solid effort consistent with what I love about KMFDM. The Lucia EP shows improvement. Overall, worth buying the album. This band has added more songs to my favorites list than any other. As usual now, there are a couple great songs and a couple I wish they never made. KMFDM. You know what to expect, and they give it to you.

5. Time came and went... - Latter releases of this industrial/electro giant have left a lot of questions in my mind. With each album seeming to take one step ahead and three steps back. What Our Time Will Come delivers is an unimpressive and bland mixture of the current lineup of KMFDM's sonic assaults. Nothing here really stands out. While previous albums had some gems like "Tohuvabohu" and "Panzerfaust" et. KUNST and Our Time Will Come do not offer anything than remnants of what the band used to be capable of. Which was an innovative, unique experience all the way through. Of course the days of En Esch and Günter are long passed and the collaborative machine that once was (PIG, Skold, Ogre), has gone into the shadows so with a new crew and wife on board, Sascha is the captain of this slowly sinking ship. Themes while still in your face have become a little trifle here and inexplicably, there are some tracks that sound like Sascha has taken to giving us his best James Hetfield impression. Which, is never really a good thing... Everything is still booming and thumping and everyone is still against the government but it's just lost its power and purpose. I would love to see KMFDM go away for a while and come back refreshed with something different and a new outlook on how to approach their committed fans and the genre. If you weren't impressed by KUNST, you may find some improvements here but not many. If you haven't been impressed since four albums ago, then this will do nothing for you...

6. scratchy snatchy - i won't lie and say this is the best album they have done, but so far i am liking what i hear. and it is great timing that it is out right when most of the new xbox and ps games are being released so i have fun music to listen to while playing. anyways, Sascha, you got my money yet again!

1. Too much dubstep downtempo - Am I the only one who hates dubstep because of its downtempo/downbeat elements? I searched on Google and couldn't find anything about people hating dubstep for downtempo and downbeat elements. I found plenty of people that hate dubstep, but apparently they aren't bothered by the downtempo/downbeat elements. They hate something else about dubstep. Contrary to the negative critics, and contrary to most dubstep haters, I'm not bothered by the "wub wub wub" fart. I don't mind some parts being downtempo/downbeat, but I don't like it ALL downtempo/downbeat. I like when it's mostly uptempo and upbeat. Apart from the downtempo and downbeat elements, the album is good but not great.

2. Industrial Perfection - This has to be one of the best songs I have heard. The base line is on point. The flow may be slow in the beginning, but it takes off into one of the best audio rides out there (especially at the : mark). If you like ambient music, trance, or new age rhythm then you are bound to like this. They managed to blend sound that should not be together into something Awesome!
2015-07-21

3. Good mood music - I alway look forward to the FLA tracks w/o vocals - kind of a treat. This is a dozen tracks of really good material. i edit underwater video - and this stuff is perfect for that atmosphere. The only thing I did notice was little bit of the dub step griminess here and there. I know its the rage now that its gone mainstream. Not hating, but FLA is the trendsetter never the follower … As an earlier reviewer already mentioned, this one is great for headphones. I'd also include driving at night or (in my case) editing underwater video! Glad i bought it.

4. electronic masterpiece - Bill Lieb is without a doubt one of the most prolific and talented electronic musicians of our time. This is a great tribute to that. An instrumental electronic masterpiece here by him. Just press play with a pair or headphones on and enjoy a journey into electronic production genious.
2012-11-17

5. Epic as a videogame soundtrack and standalone instrumental album - This album is a soundtrack for a Free-to-play game called Airmech. Though I haven't played the game yet, this album is great as an OST, and as a standalone instrumental album. It's different from FLA's usual style, but I like this sound ALOT! I've listened to this album times already since I got it. Great Job with this FLA! :D

1. Endure lives up to its name - ENDURE is an album that, years after after its release, does indeed endure, and cements Assemblage as an artist well worth your time. Tom Shear continues to put out rich music — that balances hope, anger, sadness, and an appeal to humanity to do better — in a lovely mixture that's as inspiring as it is haunting. It's also one of my favorite of his albums, no small feat as his existing discography already contains some of the best EBM out there. If you enjoy this CD, I also highly recommend Bruise, Compass, Meta and Storm. Favorite tracks? Call the Dawn, Afterglow, Butterfly Effect and Barren. I'm also kind of in love with the bonus track Ignorance, a bit of a departure from Shear's normal sound, with a wonderfully upbeat and pumping dance rhythm juxtaposed against a darkly comedic criticism of willful stupidity. If you find yourself surrounded by people who bury their heads in the sand (or have been known to do this yourself) you'll probably find something to smile about here. Greatly looking forward to the next album, and spending many years listening to it again and again as well.
2020-03-05

2. Maybe less time on Surveillance - This wasn't the normal quality that Tom puts out. Still pretty good, but not up to the standard of previous albums. The biggest thing for me was the lyrics were very worldly, instead of the normal self loathing, story of someone else struggles, or attacking a social issue. I would have given this stars if not for Goliath redeeming it.

1. Industrial Majic - Anyone who know anything about Leeb and Fulber has to understand how powerfully amazing their combination was to industrial music and the evolution of the electronic sound. This is pure industrial magic! This band and this album were truly a break out for the genre and one the left the door open for a more commercial sound amplified by the likes of trent reznor and his magana poppy NIN popcorn candy. For those who truly love industrial music, this album is a must. Front Line continues to impress, but when you listen to their earlier sound, one truly understands that they were years ahead of their time.
2013-09-02

2. Polar opposite of 'Tactical Neural Implant', but an instant classic - Bill Leeb's career in FLA has seen many evolutions in it's sound, but it was this album that concludes the 's period of industrial/ebm and prepares it for the 's. Even with outdated hardware (multilayering Roland TB- for an example), this album is the precursor to Leeb's sound that fully develops throughout the 's. Most of this album is indeed electronic (with the exception of the guitars on "Provision"), but it doesn't hold back from sonically blowing away your mind. Every track from front and back carries on the album coherently with no track that sounds alike, from the hard-driven "Resist", to the pounding beats and cynical samples of "The Chair" which is what I feel is the precursor to the next album 'Tactical Neural Implant' This was my first FLA purchase, and like all great music it takes time to develop an ear and appreciation for what this underground masterpiece really is. This album will always have a place in my heart, along with it's polar opposite 'Tactical Neural Implant'. If you happen to buy this album, and have a taste for heavy/electronic music, you will not be dissapointed.

3. Years Later, Still Hard As Ever - Not surprisingly, iTunes got the album info wrong. This album was released in under the record label that built Industrial music in the U.S., Wax Trax. Despite the dated electronics, FLA's "Caustic Grip" easily puts to shame alot of the crap that passes for industrial music nowadays. This is FLA at its most raw and this is the album that shows you don't have to resort to electric guitar to be hard as nails. - Monty

4. This album is an electronic landmark! - This is one of the most incredibly overlooked albums in the electronic music world. It is a production giant. The sound design and personality of the album is incredible. An incredible combination of hypnotic rhythms, industrial soundscapes and simple but intelligent and powerful vocals. A MASTERPIECE of electronic musical composition.

1. Surprise - Rarely does a remix album turn out better than the original but this is one of those instances. Everything is heavier, more dynamic and sprawling, letting every song breath and become more than the original. This is less of a remix album and more of a “what if we spent more time on these songs and made them objectively better” situation. If you liked echogenetic you’ll love this
2022-01-02

2. cutting edge electonics - FLA has been at this for so long, and really put out so much material how can they not be hit or miss at times? while the whole album has incredible production, (try it on good headphones...wow!) I do wonder if the songs here have the staying power of some of their older work. Still, there are some absolutely excellent moments here such as 'next war', 'contagion', and haujobb's remix of blood is also a highlight for me. IMHO, too many times the songs take too long to get going here, although they are rewarding once they do. itunes previews are too short to do the songs here justice. Even though it's not their best work, I do believe the electronics, synths, and drum sounds have never been better and it's certainly ahead of it's time for ANY electronic artist. FLA breaks new ground...again! Worth every penny, and nearly a star album.

3. Waiting forever for an actual album just a remix album - Its been like years since they have made an actual industrial album with lyrics all there past albums have been ambient industrial soundtrack albums and then they release this remix album so they cant keep making money without having actually do anything.

1. Why this got positive reviews is beyond me - Lacks the heavy, hard elements of Millenium and Hard wired. Front Line Assembly as usual. Doesn't have blasting noise or punching beats as I would think of industrial as having. Also analog (tape or vinyl) quality. I want more high quality. Front Line Assembly should be a gold standard industrial/EBM/electro/hardcore band and perhaps a gold standard band in general.

1. I agree with Freying and Malignant - Does not sound industrial. But I add that true industrial is blasting loud and has heavy, punching beats. True electro-industrial has a deep, complex, multilayered sound. That's not what this album is, or what Front Line Assembly in general is. This album is quiet and mellow; not a characteristic of industrial. The stand out tracks are No limit, Antisocial, and Bloodsport. I'd like the songs Hypocrisy and Digital Tension Dementia if it wasn't for those cheesy undistorted clean vocals. Doesn't industrial music have distorted, screamed, shouted, and growled vocals, or is it just industrial metal and aggrotech? I like aggrotech better than electro-industrial. I like either industrial metal or aggrotech; not electro-industrial. I wouldn't be bothered if Front Line Assembly did aggrotech. I don't know about the other critics.
2019-03-12

2. Wax Trax Days - This was definately one of the stand out albums in the Wax Trax days - loved the album and still listen to this Industrial original from time to time. This album was maybe not the first Industrial album, but was for sure one of the best that gave the genre it's name and keeps it alive.
2010-05-21

3. EBM, Industrial, RivetHead, WHATEVER, it's still a watershed album... - One of FLA's finest, this and Tactical Neural Implant would be the ones that I would recommend to anyone who could only choose two of their albums. No Limit, Digital Tension Dementia, and Big Money are (slight) standouts in this outstanding (overall) album. Whatever genre you choose to call it, this and TNI defined the FLA sound for me in the late 's. Definitely don't miss out on this one. . . and do yourself a favor and grab the whole album. The more atmospheric tracks serve as a nice sonic buffer between the more beat-driven tracks.

4. great dark electronic music I have to agree NOT industrial - In early 's through present day- any electro music way off center like FLA, Front , Nitzer Ebb (with Skinny Puppy being a slight exclusion)- were labeled Industrial- they were not- even in old computer and music mags that interviewed them they called themselves Cyberpunk music- maybe even electro-terrorists via music! If you want REAL industrial music- one must get music by Throbbing Gristle , early Cabaret Voltaire (Lving Legend , Mix Up) , heck even Premature Ejaculations,early Brighter Death Now,Blackhouse to name a few- but TG are the God-fathers of Industrial. Monte Cazzaza coined the term; "undustrial music for industrial people" was how he called it- this is danceable off center electro music! In my humble opinion- in the "nd wave" of industrial- even there only one band is worthy of the title- Skinny Puppy. They at least have a touch of the old- but took it to st century standards of horror! Severed Heads- always a electro dance 's sound-not industrial!

1. Great re-release - “Never Enough” is truly groundbreaking and the remix by Solar Fake combines the brilliance of the artists. “Vapor” is another favorite for me. Loved the original and this is even better! Oh man and the acoustic version of “Devotion” is another that gives you chills! I wish Daniel could release the sheet music like he did for “All Beauty Destroyed”.
2019-03-29

2. Merging the two bands - I wish that Aesthetic Perfection and Necessary Response remain separate projects, but I understand that he's compiling the sounds into each album. I'd much rather Necessary Response continue as a softer and melodic style and to continue producing consistent albums. However, it probably doesn't seem practical as it would cost more to produce two bands with albums instead of one. Regardless, this album is amazing, be it with Necessary Response or with Aesthetic Perfection. The perk to this album is that you get his new track(s) "Never Ending" If you don't have it yet, it's probably my favorite, so I recommend it. Just remember, it has very limited hard vocals. However, the original is better (the new stuff sounds way more clean). Not that it's a big deal, but the original has "This Distance" while the new version does not. The track is more of an ambient instrumental track, but it's worth having. I don't know if I would say it's worth it at the cost of "Never Ending," but do invest in both. Somehow.

1. Masterwork - [:SITD:] means Shadows in the Dark and with each successive album, they breathe essence into their name with deeper and deeper breaths. My first exposure to [:SITD:] was on the DAC Advanced Electronics vol. with the Megadump remix of Snuff Machinery. I immediately went out and bought everything of theirs I could get my hands on and have been doing so ever since. They are a band that continues to grow with leaps and bounds. I was pleased to hear Jacek sing in his "non-ebm growl" voice. Though it is signature, it was cool to hear him sing in a melodic style for a change - even if it is just to hear that he can do it! The band has always had great lyrics in both concept and execution and to see the distance they have come in their evolution - take a listen to Snuff Machinery and then listen to Benumbed. Snuff is a fantastic track, but the depth of lyrical talent has grown to represent a new level in the genre. I love the tune plastination also - it is suitably creepy considering the topic... Overall - this is an album to buy.

1. Darkness Fails - I’ve been a fan of Covenant from the beginning. I love their down-tempo tunes as much as I love their more upbeat dance tracks. Sadly, TBD is nothing like any of those. It’s almost like it wants to start those beats, fast or slow, but runs out of gas on almost every track. I mean it shouldn’t be tough to get through a Covenant album and I had to power through. Sorry, guys. This one just didn’t do it for me. Bought it on release day, listened to it for a few days, and went back to old Covenant. This one’s just too sleepy for me.
2019-01-14

2. Hmmmm - It's ok - As one who is familiar with Covenant, it's hard not to approach reviewing this album with high expectations. And so to be sure, there is definetly the quality of unique electronic expression and quality lyrics we come to expect in this album as any other from Covenant. However, kind of like an engine with a spark plug out of time, something seems just a little bit out of sequence with the latest album. In a number of the songs it's seems there is a good start to a major jam, and the energy is building up, but it hits a point and takes a different turn, that turns out to be a let down, instead of a break-through or climax. There is some attempt with going lighter and experimental it seems, instead of breaking through?? Perhaps it will catch on with more time...?? Highlights: I Close My Eyes, Morning Star, If I Give You My Soul

1. Preach it PIG ! - Amazing album. Hands down best album I've heard all around in a long time. The initial tolling of the ominous bells in the opening track, Diamond Sinners, reels you into the pilgrimmage of pain and penitence to come. Watts shows impressive vocal range in the various tracks. The sound is fresh, yet still familiar to the PIG we have all come to know and love. Along with the humor, dark themes, and fun, Watts comes across as more vulnerable and open in this masterpiece. You'll love it!
2016-10-08

2. Because it's PIG - This album is PIG pretty much preaching about himself. It's not a message you should follow. I kept in mind this album was going to be more punk than Sinsation/Wrecked and I'm loving what I'm hearing. Plus Drugzilla on here sounds way better than the single that was released earlier.
2016-09-10

3. He is risen! - Praise the Lard, the God of Gammon has come to save us all! It is long overdue, but it was well worth the wait. I like how Raymond Watts has refreshed the sound of the Swine while holding true to his core.. Umm.. Values? Diamond Sinners is a decadently delicious opening to the masterpiece that has been laid upon the table for our filthy souls to feast upon.

1. Not Bad - Im not too keen on newer Ministry aside from House of the Mole, but this isnt a bad album by any means if you enjoy your industrial with heavy guitar riffs, this is a great live album for you. It could use some classics on it in place of a few weaker new tracks though, for a last tour you think they would at least include Stigmata, Burning Inside or NWO.
2011-03-20

2. Perfecto!!!... if you like the last three albums - For the goth seeking industrial vintage Ministry, pull out In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up. You won't find classics like So What or Thieves here... they've already been done and Al Jourgensen isn't repeating himself. This album focuses entirely on the last three albums. If you haven't heard the last few albums (like The Last Sucker) the song selection closely resembles tracks like NWO, Jesus Built My Hotrod and PASLM ... but with a tad more high octane blazing guitars and aggression. Although I'm a fan of early Ministry, I also love the latest Ministry. Thrash metal with a hint of their Industrial trademark sound, these tracks stay completely true to the originals that are recorded on the studio albums. It's actually remarkable how closely the live versions sound vs. the studio versions... starting with the voice that echo's, "The Party's over for this existence, It's the end of their kind as we know it, Hail and Fire!!" "Because the seas are rising and the Tides are Coming in". Then comes the electrifying guitars and the distorted singing from Al that seems to change very little over the years. Furious... Awesome and Beautiful. But again, if you are looking for a live album that incorporates their entire career, don't look here. This album is for "The Last Sucker's".

3. GET IT r FORGET ABOUT IT! - These queens who keep whining about ". . . I only liked Ministry during the Land of Rape & Honey or Psalm " These losers will never get it! The last couple of lp's they did really blow the doors off. And this live effort proves it. This is Ministry at their BEST and I if ya don't think so you don't know Ministy. So, get it and then you might GET IT!
2009-11-14

4. Thanks for the memories! - This is Ministry. It's classic, grindy, political, offensive Minisry with a half dozen greasy, awesome metal tacos on the side! This is everything I grew to love about Ministry from Psalm forward only amped up, metalled out, and in your face. That it offended the Dubya heads is really only a major added bonus. ROCK ON GUYS!
2009-05-07

5. Why? - I saw Ministry with KMFDM in and thought it was one of the greatest things I'd ever seen. There earlier albums like Land of Rape and Honey and Mind were amazing. Than I began to notice something. Al Jourgensen had nothing more to offer. Maybe that's why Paul Barker left. Each album after Mind just got worse and worse and all of them could have been delivered in any order because they were the SAME ALBUM. This band has been living off it's name for over years now and it's ridiculous. Did anyone else feel that Sphinctour was one of the cheesiest "concert" videos of all time. It was like watching the same video for different songs.........I love good, loud, fast industrial/thrash music, but I feel cheated by the last few Ministry releases.
2009-04-15

6. ministry evolved - if you don't like ministrys newest releases then you of course won't like this release. it is mostly newer material. if you are more into their older stuff buy the sphinctour cd. i saw them live in new orleans on this tour and it was amazing. for anyone to say this is a terrible ending to a great band you obviously were living in a cave when they released all of these SINGLES on previous albums. don't be surprised when it's on their final cd.
2009-04-09

7. A terrible ending for a once amazing band - I enjoy most of the older material prior , but when this tour was advertised "covering years", I was excited. There was nothing really old, but FOUR classics, and the final set of the show were cover songs. On this album, we get the main set and ONLY the main set. No classics? No Covers? What the hell, Al? I'm not a huge fan of - Ministry, but I find it awfully disappointing to see only the bush trilogy released and absolutely nothing else. Also. These songs are practically intentical to the album versions, but with a tired old uncle Al struggling through the motions. Disappointing, and not worth the money. Blatant cash grab for a band who now has officially released it's THIRD farewell album now. Save your money, kids. Invest your money into the older albums pre- if you'd like, or just find and discover something else. I highly encourage it.

1. one of the best and overlooked - This one is for true SP fans, it's loud, abrasive and full of energy unlike Greater Wrong of the Right and Handover...which i did happen to like those releases but their "new sound" seems to be Cevin Key's "Download" solo stuff featuring "Ohgr"...Mythmaker takes us back to the good ole' days of Too Dark Park & Last Rights with Ogre using heavy vocal distortion, thunderous drum beats & Cevin being an evil madman with the music. Track and are truly classic SP songs no fan should be without. i've been listening to SP since and they always try to make every album unique & this without a doubt one of the best, right up there with Remission, Rabies, Too Dark Park & The Process

1. Perfect Assemblage album - Tom Shear is probably my favorite electronic artist. I have bought almost all of A’s extensive catalog. This album is synthpop at its best: lovely melodies, beeping and burbling synths with Tom’s baritone singing thought provoking lyrics. Every song is solid, but the absolute winner for me is “Dissonance.” It brings together a throbbing / note bass line with some really cool work on the keys. It’s the perfect kind of song that comes from years of practice, talent, and production skills. I hope to catch A on tour.

1. Always a good day when there is new SKOLD - As a dedicated Tim Skold fan I can’t stress exactly how awesome it has been the last couple years as a fan. We used to wait and wait for new stuff, and it seems like Tim has been rewarding us for our dedication with new stuff we don’t have to wait years for. Gotta tell you though Tim still waiting for that re release of your first solo album as well as that long awaited sequel to Skold vs KMFDM. But thanks for the new music! Update: Listened to this quite a few times over now, it truly is a fantastic album. It has a lot of music on it that will be listed as some of the best Skold has come out with even with his older music. I find it interesting a lot of people are citing Roses as one of the best tracks. To me thats not even one of my favorites, I love Small World, Ravenous, In Another Life, This is the End, and Idle Hands. I have never heard a song in Skolds song discography so much like a pop song as In Another Life which is why its so interesting to listen to it!

1. Good album merge, but low quality, low fidelity analog - Doesn't have the loud noise and crushing punching beats that I think of industrial music having. Collision and Solitude of confinement have a deep, complex, and layered sound. Collision would be good had it not been for the clean undistorted bass vocals, which are kind of dorky and annoying. If it was distorted, screamed and growled vocals, Collision would be great. Solitude of Confinement on the other hand has female choral samples which I don't care for. Right hand of Heaven is good. Concussion sounds like Jazz Jackrabbit . I like it. Vocals are not screamed/growled, but much better than the vocals in Collision. On the other hand it doesn't have the deep sound of electro-industrial like Collision does.

2. This is the classic early stuff! - "Corroded Disorder" is a compilation of the two deleted vinyl releases, "Corrosion", and "Disorder". Excerpts from these two albums were compiled onto the excellent CD, "Convergence". I played that CD over & over in Art school back in the day, and still find it some of my favorite FLA work, as it's less manically beat driven and more spatial! I recommend "Corroded Disorder" even further as it has the the entire track list from the vinyl albums and a couple of bonus tracks. Get this one if you'd like to explore the more ethereal (and by ethereal I DO NOT mean Delerium-ish!), artsy side of FLA!

1. Pig, killing it as usual - Raymond Watts has managed to keep the heavy electronic sounds of KMFDM (Ex-KMFDM) fresh and original. Pigs band includes En Esch and Günter... Along with Mr Watts Pig now has more of the early KMFDM lineup than KMFDM has. I've been a KMFDM fan for over years and watched as each album became better then the last... Watching them grow from What Do Ya Know... to Adios has been exciting and kept me awaiting new KMFDM for many years. Then they returned with Attack and I wasn't as impressed but I still enjoyed the mature sounding KMFDM. After that I haven't heard a KMFDM album that was personally something I enjoyed for many years. My attention went towards Skinny Puppy's reunion and the Ohgr project when I wanted to listen to new heavy electronic sounds. I saw Pig live on // and shortly after that show it was as if Raymond vanished. He cancelled the tour shortly after the show I saw and was more or less gone for the better part of years. After a very long break, several tracks featuring Raymond began to show up here and there that was giving me hope that the Lord of Lard was returning. Finally, The Gospel was released and my craving for pork was back. In less than year Pig launched two massive U.S. Tours along with remix albums and EPs. This is the follow-up to The Gospel and these first two tracks have me frothing for more. I can not WAIT for the album's release in June, until then I will have these two tracks on heavy rotation. I feel as though Pig is back and healthier than ever. When I was younger I could appreciate Watt's being wasted and stumbling around the stage like an intoxicated mad man. This new Watt's is happy, healthy and giving us more music than he has in his entire career. Praise the Pork!!!

1. In hindsight- a better album - I've listened to FLA since Gashed Senses and Crossfire (at the tender age of ). I followed them through until this album came out in . After the ground breaking FLAvor of the Weak and Implode I felt that Epitaph reverted back to the past due to the criticism leveled at the two prior albums. I literally felt Epitaph was bland and lifeless (it might also have to be because I was listening to Midi Miliz, Wizzy Noise, etc). I stopped listening to FLA between and . I've bought all of what FLA has released starting with Epitaph through now on iTunes. My opinion of this album has changed. It's not the best record of FLA (that belongs to Tactical Neural Implant and Millenium) but it is true to its roots. Dead Planet is the best song on Epitaph- I love the parts "I haven't slept in days. Something here just doesn't feel right. This eerie place keeps me up all night, just tired now of losing my sight...this place called Earth is just a burning shell, an inner, outer living hell." Pure. Freaking. Genius! Epitaph is worth buying. It's a solid album you can listen to opening to close and get your fill of FLA. Other good songs are- Krank It Up and and Insolence.

1. Surprisingly good! - I prefer the darker-electro feel/mood of their first albums. The past few releases prior to Capitalism were hit and miss. Capitalism offers a more upbeat brighter side to the revamped electro-industrial scene. I hear influences from DM, Fictional, Crocodile Shop, A, Electrovot, Imperative Reaction and etc. in Capitalism TM. I prefer the traditional gloom side of EBM music but Capitalism TM is Surprisingly good! I recommend to any hardcore EBM/Industrial club goer.

2. WOW!!! - WOW! Is all I can say. By far the best Rotersand Album to date. I've always been a huge fan but this hits it in all the right spots. Fantastic melodies, powerful beats and smart lyrics. Put this all together and you have one hell of a record. Rotersand's Capitalism is by far a very good comeback well worth the wait. Thank you, Rotersand!

1. The best FLA album - When I purchased this album in I was blown away by it. I'm pretty heavy into trance/psytrance music but my roots started in the s with industrial music. The ground breaking electronic infusion in FLAvor of the Weak was ahead of its time. A masterful blend of FLA roots and a fresh injection of the future (at the time)! FLAvor of the weak is a sound that I wish Bill Leeb would have further explored after Implode. Alas- it was never to be. For reasons that are Bill's alone he had took FLA into other directions (which still managed to kept true to FLA roots- unlike Ministry did after Psalm ). Evil Playground is the best song by FLA. Even years later, with all of the computer advances in music, it still holds true as a master piece not diluted by time. This era is over but I'm thankful that FLA did this album and Implode. A treat of what could have been forever frozen in time.

1. Retro industrial, made new. - I’m a huge fan of mid ’s to mid ’s industrial, this could fit right in. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t sound outdated…it’s more like a timeless industrial sound I never grew tired of. While I also am blown away by the likes of Front Line Assembly and their cutting edge electronic sound (Echogenetic, and Echoes) Cocksure has really done a fantastic job of re-exploring a somewhat forgotten industrial sound, but this album is brilliant! I’d love to see the electronic scene swing back around to something like this. There’s not a lot of on the floor club stompers, but this would kick so much A at a club, and stand out from the rest in a huge way. I like every song here, but I think ‘Severance Package’ is my favorite. I don’t mention album artwork usually, but the picture on this album just speaks volumes to me, and makes me laugh and identify with the theme of the album all at once. Corporate_Sting is a great surprise that I just can’t play loud enough. Buy the whole album, it’s worth it.

1. Sounds like a million clocks... - DWIFH picks up where Doubting Thomas left off... IW Halloway has managed to do what thousands of electro industrial bands have failed to do- approach the wickedly and wonderfully complex soundscapes that Skinny Puppy has set the bar on for brilliant industrial music. Congrats on finding this, I dunno why it took me so long.

2. Jaw dropping - This album is like a fresh take on everything I loved about Skinny Puppy in the late s and early s. It is brilliantly executed, the rhythms are varied, the melodies haunting and beautiful. It seems DWIFH took all kinds of disjointed sources and wove an intricate tapestry of sound, driving from one end of the album to the other, then back again. "The Proof", "Lost House" and "Fixer Fixed" are standouts here, but make no mistake. This album is low on filler.

3. A return to "old school" electro industrial! - If you're like me, and I know I am, you've noticed a big hole in the electro-industrial scene in recent years. Its either (broadly speaking) "dark" synth pop Depeche Mode dance floor stuff or crunchy Terror Noise that lacks any real subtlety (which doesn't seem to be the point, i realize). To each their own of course, but I've missed that thick, driving sound of the late s/mid s. Dead When I Found Her's debut release "Harm's Way" fills that sound that seems to be lacking while giving us something more than simply a nostalgia trip. Clocking in at over an hour, these songs make up a very dense and layered release with subtle touches in the mix heard only after many listens. The occasional guitars are more "Process" style SP than Ministry and the tone remains dark without being cheesy. As a fan of Kalte Farben, Individual Totem and of course, Skinny Puppy, "Harm's Way" is a breath of fresh air. Great artwork too! Recommended tracks: Painkiller Suite, Fixer Fixed, Subject Reject

1. Genre defining album! - Released in , this seminal album went on to truly define not only Clock DVA, but the industrial/cyberpunk genre as well. Much Like Skinny Puppy's 'VIVISectVI' and FLA's 'Tactical Neural Implant'. this became a hallmark achievement for Clock DVA. A masterpiece not only musically, but technically as well, it's become a benchmark by which all others are judged. While less abbrassive than Skinny Puppy and less aggressive than FLA, this album is no less powerful. With this album and the several that followed, Clock DVA was thought of as the 'Thinking Man's' Industrial with it's highbrow concepts. Any fan of Industrial or Cyberpunk needs to own this.
