... or perhaps a more fair title would be "Don't make this your first KMFDM album". This album was released before I really got into the band or even knew who they were, so I'm doing a bit of backtracking on my KMFDM collection by picking up the newly remastered edition here.
There's not much meat on the bones of most of these songs. The first four tracks are the only ones with substanial amount of lead vocals, but even these are weak and unmemorable. The vocals for "No Meat, No Man" annoy me, and contain some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard. The remaining tracks in this group are at least listenable, but the title track is the best by far, featuring female vocals to deliver the hook in the chorus (already at this early stage the band was setting itself apart from their Industrial contemporaries).
The remainder of DBYT is nearly devoid of any vocalists. Cut-and-paste style audio clips dress up the still aggressive beats. None of these are so horrible (I prefer this section of the CD), yet collectively they feel a bit monotonus. Mostly between 2 and 4 minutes at least they're kept reasonable on time length. The bass-heavy "Tod Durch Bongo-Bongo" is rife with trippy sounds and echo, the biggest departure from anything else on here. The last two tracks aren't intriguing for me to keep coming back to.
For me the band really hit their stride in the early 90's. DBYT might not have aged well, but shows KMFDM playing with different ideas early on.
Final Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Favorite tracks: "Don't Blow Your Top", "Disgust", "What a Race"
