Oddly enough, apart from the intentionally inane album title, KMFDM have
finally created an album that is actually devoid of the usual name-checking
and mindless rehashing of ten year old lyrics. As with the case of "Nihil",
this is has always been because Sascha has recruited a handful of talented
artists who have been able to momentarily stifle his ego trip long enough
to write some quality music. This time around he has enlisted the aid of one
time KMFDM member Raymond Watts of Pig, ex-Skinny Puppy vocalist Kevin Oglivie,
and Tim Skold of Skold. These three guest vocalists were responsible for the
lyrics on four out of ten tracks on the album which coincidentily enough is the
average number of tracks on a KMFDM album that consist of entirely recycled
music and vocals. The usual KMFDM lapdogs, En Esch and Gunter Schultz still
remain to pump out the Slayer samples and the German versions of previous KMFDM
songs originally written in English. In conclusion there is just the right
amount of the usual KMFDM silliness to appease the mindless fan-base while
incorporating enough originality to make this album worth the cost of pressing
for those of us who haven't taken Sascha seriously for years.
KMFDM is:
Sascha Konietzko - vocals, sequences, programming, loops
En Esch - vocals, percussion, sequences, guitar, programming, loops
Gunter Schultz - backing vocals, guitars, programming, loops
