KMFDM
-- WWIII
Brilliantly starting off with a quick banjo melody, KMFDM's latest offering takes off into a pulsatingly fast avalanche of anger at the world. The title track is perhaps the heaviest song, though the second weakest lyrically (beaten out by "Moron"). Rather than going in depth to an issue, they often just shout out a bunch of shallow, political points of view, like callously declaring "war on the workd of anti-choice". Still sometimes the lines are superbly crafted so that you can't help but want to shout out to some of them at least and the industrial crunch screws your head on tight until you want to let all anger out in one cathartic burst. The rest of the album has political commentary
with more substance except for "Moron". Alternating between light
(but not too light) introspective songs such as "From Here on Out" and
"Last Things" to full-on assaults of rage in "Blackball" and "Stars and
Stripes", KMFDM never shy from their disdain for the way the U.S. is headed
as they see it, but just straddle the line from falling into blatant bashing
of a specific place's policies. The track "Revenge" is the most electronic
track for those of you infatuated with some of their previous outings as
opposed to their earliest and "Intro" is a great jumping-on track for new
fans.
