KMFDM -- WWIII 
By Jeremy Snyder (Mr. Huh?)

KMFDM -- WWIII 
Label: Sanctuary
Rating

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.

I've been a fan of KMFDM since 1984 & saw them play live last night, they are not dead as Monarch said, they are bigger better & harder than ever.


Posted by Monarch:
KMFDM is dead. Its been so since Adios. The "spin-off" band MDFMK of the "MDFMK" fame has taken over since. Sure, they're essentially the same people [Sascha is still frontman], but the sound has changed greatly. And that Lucia Cifarelli chick may be hot as fu(ck, but she has the most annoying voice ever.

Big Improvement to the world of hard rock for KMFDM, better guitars, awesome drums and political power. Every KMFDM album is different, for some reason this one is my favorite! I think this is probably the KMFDM i always wanted but never dreamt of or expected! Things can only get better!

Posted by Milhouse:
