What makes this one so magical for me is Chris Connelly. You might remember him from the mind is a terrible thing to taste ministry live tour videos, or PTP(tick tick tock), or Revolting Cocks when they kicked the most ass on beers steers and queers. To me this LP has that same kick ass industrial sound that the older ministry had with this slicker edge to it.

This is the fun side of industrial. Sure they use some corny horn sounds now and then, but honestly, this is one of the most aggressive electronic metal industrial lps around. It leans on industrial more than a lot of their other stuff. Sure they have done heavier stuff, but never with this much industrial thrown in.

My favorite song on this LP is DOGMA. I love it, every time I DJ I spin this, as every DJ should. I love the social commentary. The music is amazing as well perfect club music. No matter what, KMFDM is great club music. Those who don’t get it should be stomped into the fucking ground. Other good tracks are Apathy, Son of Gun, Inane, Ikons and my 2nd FAV KMFDM TRACK OF ALL TIME, WRATH. I love how hyper Son of a Gun is. I used to slam dance this at the clubs in here colorado ages ago. .

I love the keyboard sounds on this LP, The tight timing, super robotic aggressive industrial. I really wish music had this kind of fun energy still. MSI kind of has it sometimes. Kmfdm sometime still has it. But this old stuff has it in droves.

I give this an 08 out of 10. Go buy this. Click here to buy KMFDM: XTORT mp3 256 from amazon.

    good album. you should check out chris connelly’s book, ‘concrete, bulletproof, invisible, and fried’ if you haven’t. killer, detailed insight on what was really going on behind the scenes of ministry and co.

    yeah i was actually listening to a little bit of this at a friends house. I know what you mean about corny horn sounds. haha

    Come on now, Sascha K might love his horns. But they take nothing away from this master piece. He has been using them since the first album, What Do You Know Deutschland? I am KMFDM’s biggest fan and recommend any new comers to the band start with KMFDM / ANGST. You wont regret it…

    props to GLEN for speaking the truth.
    and fuck to the rest of you for dissing KMFDM.
