Free Music Review: The Return of Laibach ?
Hit: 4 Stars
I would consider this the best Laibach release since Opus Dei.With the electronic nature of this album, one might want to make comparisons to Kapital or NATO. However, it seems that Laibach are drawing much more heavily from their earlier works and this album could be more easily associated with Rekapitulcaija or the self-titled Laibach.
WAT will make a good introduction to new listeners who have missed the last couple of decades of Laibachkunst.
I can only hope that with the vitality of this new work, Laibach and NSK end their period of hibernation and once again become more active on all fronts.
Free Music Review: Good , club-stomp Laibach
Hit: 3 Stars
Laibach has always produced varied work (from stomping dance tunes to overblown soundtrack melodrama), but this album is definitely for the fans who prefer the EBM-style Laibach. It's a solid album with not much filler.
My one complaint: there are some very good tracks on here that feature very silly choruses of female singers. As soon as the chorus comes in, it sounds like Laibach is just making a joke of the song. What were they thinking?
Free Music Review: Since when...
Hit: 2 Stars
...did Laibach feel that they had to resort to ripping off Rammstein or Nitzer Ebb circa "That Total Age"?? Truth be told, groups like Rammstein ripped off Laibach. But what happened here??Ok, so the cold-war may have long since ended, the wall came down and the impact of lp's (yes, lp's) like "Laibach," "Rekapitualacija," "Occupied Europe Tour," "Nova Akropola," or "Ljubljana-Sagreb-Beograd" has subsided. But still, I am old enough to remember wondering, "what the h*ll happened" when "Let it Be" was first issued. So, if you understand that, perhaps you can understand my opinion of this cd (even though I realize I'm probably in the minority).
Anyway, yes, this cd is very uncharacteristically Laibach. To some newcomers, perhaps that's a welcomed thing. But I long for the days of Laibach as it was...as I watched and listened wide-eyed in my BUNDESWHER fatigues memorizing drills of the LUFTWAFFER and Fallschirmjager.
Get this for what its worth should you feel so inclined. Otherwise, save your dough and go get anything Laibach released in the mid to late 80's, anything by COIL, anything (old) by SPK, or, should you feel like dancing to your so-called "industrial," anything by DAF. Oh, and, shame on me, let's not forget anything by Einsturzende Neubauten (yes, even their newer stuff...forgive me, but they're still EN).
Enjoy kiddies. Erstellt euch!
