Customer Reviews of Angst

A CLASSIC BUT DEFINITELY NOT A MASTERPIECE IMHO.
First, I should put it clear: I'm not a KMFDM fan; I like some of their songs a lot ('Anarchy', 'Light', 'Stary Bullet'...) I bought this cd after listening to 'Light' which is a very good indistrial song combining guitars and electronics with quality, very danceable and with pretty female chorus. But I got disappointed by the rest of the album; It is interesting to see how KMFDM moved from a classic EBM sound in the vein of 242 in 'Don't Blow Your Top' to an industrial, being one of the first in adding guitars and breaking that absurd opposition guitas vs electronics. But the songs here lack, in my opinion, the genius of Skinny Puppy, 242 or NIN; 'A Drug against war' and 'A Hole In The Wall' are quite bad songs for me; they are boring and very little electronics in them. 'The problem', sung by a female voice, is quite an interesting song, but on the whole i consider it a mediocre cd from a mediocre (as a whole) band.

Heavy beats by KMFDM
This has to be one of KMFDM's best CD's, yet. 'Light' starts the album off great with backing vocals by Dorona Alberti, and of course is lead by Sascha K. 'A Drug Against War' has a heavy beat with fast paced sound. 'Blood Evil-Mix' is kind of an annoying song, but the rythym is cool. 'Lust' is all in German but has a great beat. 'Glory' has a heavy beat and has great lyrics. And 'The Problem' is one of KMFDM's best end songs, with vocals by Dorona Alberti. The chorus is great, and has a great tune. Overall, this is one of KMFDM's greatest albums. Buy it and you won't regret it.

My Favourite KMFDM Album
Most KMFDM fans would tell you Symbols is their greatest, however i personally much prefer this album to Symbols because i find that the problem with Symbols is that the album only has three extremely good tracks "Megalomaniac", "Stray Bullet" and "Leid Und Leid" and then the rest of the album just doesn't live up to the first three songs making it a bit of a dissapointment, whereas all the tracks on this album are great. I also found that Symbols was a little to techno for me, where as this album mixes electronics with nice catchy guitar riffages in the background.

Eitherway aside from that this is a terrific album mixing funky, catchy, rhythmic distorted guitar sounds with amusing electronics with sascha's blistering vocals and Dorona's nice female backing vocals and not to mention En Esch's german vocals which are beyond words. Other than that this album also features great synth's and great sampling work remiscent to ministry, oh and like many other reviewers have stated this album is humorous lyrically with tongue and cheek yet playful lyrics towards policy.

Some KMFDM tracks worth taking note of include their moshpit friendly industrial-thrash song "Drug Against War" which is very remiscent to Ministry(sampling, guitars, pace), and "A Hole In The Wall" is a well written(lyrically and musically) powerful love ballad and "lust" is a heavy electronic energetic song with En Esch growling in german. All the songs on here are great, ranging from 4 stars to 5 stars.

The thing i like about KMFDM is that they've always been trying out new things and experimenting which is what i look for in a band/musician such as adding a more metal edge to their sound as done on this album making it one of the best albums mixing metal with electronics along with Rammsteins highlight of their career "Mutter" and Fear Factory's classic "Demanufacture", and aside from that they are very creative and original, and this may be me but i find this album helps me think things over and reduce my stress. All in all this is a memorable well produced album with great musicianship that will be in my top albums list in years to come which i am working on.
