First off, let me say that this is an excellent piece of work, period. Women of Sodom could be a force to be reckoned with in the arena of female-lead electro acts...if they had more exposure and maybe cranked out a little more music. Having visited their website, I've seen the photos of their blistering S&M shows and I cannot wait for them to tour through my city. "Boots" is probably the most traditionally industrial sounding track on the album. "Jews and Arabs Become Friends" has sort of a Dead Can Dance-esque Middle Eastern sound to it that I really enjoyed. "The Doctor Song" gave me the creeps for some time -- just the thought of that...ugh! -- it's lyrics telling a story about being examined in front of a roomful of medical students, with lines like, "Put on the rubber gloves!" and "This might hurt a bit..." "Valentine For Jesus" is a slow, beautiful, and utterly blasphemous song with layered vocals and some intriguing similes. Overall, though, all of the songs are entertaining and well-crafted. Ilsa von Bulow and Xavier Dietrich II (who wrote the lyrics and the music, respectively) thanked their mentor, John Zewizz of Sleep Chamber, in the liner notes. I suppose that if you're a fan of Sleep Chamber, you would most likely enjoy Women of Sodom as well. Both bands share the same sexually "deviant" idiom.

Have you had your enema today? When you hear the Doctor's song, you'll be ready for one! If you love enema's, you'll love Ilsa. The haunting lyrics, vocals, and background sounds from the show make this CD a scene collector's item.

The Watersports song is the perfect tonic for any lowlife who needs to be humiliated and degraded. So, get down on your knees and pay homage when this tune comes on.

Nightmare on Dyke Street and Behind the Door emphasize the ironic frustration of the slave who must watch while two Women get it on. Manwhich and The Cage portray the horrifying experience of the male victim in the hands of cruel and assertive Women. Finally, those who have avoided church for years will find a hymn in Valentine for Jesus.

So, what are you waiting for? Get off your butt and get down to your record store so you can start serving Ilsa now. And remember: you are nothing!

I havent heard the whole cd but what I have heard is the shizit
