Front 242 warmed my body on many an otherwise cold night of listening to old house music in clubs in my college town. The oldies, mostly as featured on Front by Front, felt like the DJ acknowledging me on the dance floor amongst the fratboys. And here, we find f242 all grown up. The maturation of the music beyond use of drumbeats and a catchy synth-line is astounding. Many people have spoken about the female vocals, which I do love, but I wanted to talk about Track 5: "Serial Killers Don't Kill Their Girlfriends" -- I'm not sure what it's supposed to be about, but to me, it is an anthem of independent thought and attitude. It moves me and almost forces me to dance. EVERY time I have ever DJ'ed I've played some version of this at some point, if only mixed in as a bridge. I would buy this album just for that track -- but even if it is the high point, so much on the album overall is nearby in both heart and rhythm. (mXr=variably 3-5...some is just good for dancing, but some actually works for mXr, which is unusual for a band often considered 'industrial')

5.0 out of 5 stars Front 242 at their finest, December 1, 1999

I think that Front 242 have done something fabulously different with this album and that is by having a Female Vocalist... the diversity and passion that she adds to the music is just awesome... by far their most original work in years... LOVE IT

5.0 out of 5 stars Front 242 goes off on a beautiful tangent, March 12, 1999

This CD bears a resemblance to other 242 works in that it contains heavy electronic music. The sounds on this CD are much more lush and heavily orchestrated than past efforts, and this is an intentional contrast to the previous album, "Up Evil". Both albums deal with darker aspects of human emotion, but this one seems to swim in the dementia instead of standing back and analyzing it. A beautiful and terrifying work. This is art.
