Free Music Notes for Wat
Free Music Review: A real Laibach album
Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a fan of Laibach since the 1980s, I am glad to see them returning to form. While albums like Nato and Jesus Christ Superstars had their moments, Laibach seemed on the verge of turning themselves into a novelty act with their (usually superior to the original, but still ridiculous) cover songs and mediocre forays into techno. Whatever happened to them in the last 7 years is a good thing, because Wat is an even more successful return to the form that made them brilliant than Front 242's rather successful Raw & Pulse recordings. There are no silly or disposable tracks on Wat. If Laibach tours the US for Wat and releases 10 more albums in their pioneering vein (but now with better production!), they'll easily make up for the torture of the Jesus Christ Superstars tour, the Also Sprach Johann Paul II project, and their 7 year hiatus from releasing new Laibach albums.Free Music Review: WOW!

I've always loved Laibach, but this album was an unexpected treat for me. Even if I had specific expectations for this album, I couldn't have imagined the new direction they would've branched off to. Don't worry... although the style of the album is different, you still get Ivan's incredible basso profundo, you still get some orechestral elements, and you still get the Eastern Bloc sounding choirs... but this time around, it is melded with hard, almost old-school sounding electronics and stiff beats. Imagine earlier Nitzer Ebb married to the typical growling Laibach vocals and you will be well on your way to understanding what this album sounds like. A rare combination of something that sounds vaguely familiar while having an identity all it's own. Brilliant!Free Music Review: Best EBM cd of that year, AT LEAST.

The comparisons to stuff like Nitzer's 'That Total Age' I can see, except this is a much more interesting, stronger album. TTA wears thin after repeated run-throughs, it really shows its age. WAT manages to be both minimalistic yet modern, stripped down, but evolving. This is Laibach's strongest cd since Kapital, and a cd that buries the type of crap currently masquerading as electronic body music. Laibach has been marching to its own drum for decades now, since the guys in Rammstein were in summer camp. WAT is no different, except now Laibach is schooling all their contemporaries in the "scene" in obvious piss-takes...'Tanz mit Laibach' comes to mind. This cd is %90 golden good times, you'll either love it or hate it.

Just got this from Mr. FedEx guy today. This does not sound like Nitzer Ebb, this does not sound like Rammstein, it sounds like Laibach. There is no other way to describe it. They have evolved past the guitar-heavy nonsense in 'Jesus Christ Superstars' and come up with something entirely new. I would not have it any other way. This is art at its purest: satirizing leftist and rightist agendas at once, occasionally with a dancy beat behind it.Anyone using the word 'electroclash' to describe Laibach needs a kick in the head.
Free Music Review: !Tanz Mit Laibach!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is amazing! It sold out in a week from our local shop. Aside from the vocals the music itself sounds very little like old Laibach...there are still some choirs and orchestra bits, but most of that crap has been replaced by a 909, distortion pedal and Reaktor...it rocks! Stiff grizzly beats with minimalist synth basses and Laibach's trademark demonic vocals. Achtung is a standout but all the tracks are good...the CD also includes a video for Tanz Mit Laibach! Buy it. You won't regret it.
