4.0 out of 5 stars Don't ever trust the words of a stranger, July 12, 2003

Sleazy Punky Industrial is the only way to describe this album. Thrill Kill Kult seem to be the only ones left to carry the torch of the old funky "Chicago sound" since Die Warzau went MIA, Revolting Cocks got put on the back burner, and the members of Ministry managed to each get their copies of Black Sabbath Vol 4 stuck in their cd players.
As with most Thrill Kill albums, it's the faster songs which are the most effective. Fangs of Love, Sexy Sucker, and Lucifer's flowers are all guaranteed to pull you off the couch at any industrial club (C'mon, the damn thing reeks of clove cigarettes and cheap beer anyway; you don't want to be sitting there all night.) This is their most consistent album in years, and it shows that there's still fun to be had in a genre that's known for taking itself waaaaaaay too seriously...

4.0 out of 5 stars TKK Bites Back, February 20, 2004

On Crime for All Seasons, TKK took a 180 turn after Holiday, moving away from the "go go" beats and 50s-schtick. Here, TKK showcases their earlier Wax Trax style mixed in with their lighter, dancier material. Which I thought was no small feat, considering how worlds apart some of their albums are.

Fangs of Love starts off the album with a a fast, punky groove (much like After the Flesh from the Crow). Dope Doll Jungle has a heavy industrial edge with Groovie sneering in over great keyboard drones. Then Sexy Sucker puts a techno-laced beat and synth work over a warped guitar line. Great vocals on this one. Blonds is another raw punky song, while Lucifer's Flowers takes the cake by adding a classic-style TKK bass line over erie keyboards, nice female backing vocals, and Groovie tellin' it like it is. Great song and the highlight of the album. Yesterdays Void, Feel the Bite, and The Twilight Web are also excellent, while Bottomless Pit feels a little forced, with an erratic techno beat, but a catchy song nonetheless.

The group expertly incorporates a variety of styles on one short album. While it may make for a little uneven feel, I think it works with the content - which is the same as every TKK album (sex, drugs, death, wayard characters, etc).

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Crime, May 26, 2000

I was surprised to see Ryko finally re-released this album. It came out originally in 1997. Herein, TKK has sumptuously slid from the high-energy beach disco sound in "Hit & Run Holiday" to a more acid rock sound (yeah, not exactly new territory for the Kult). Before you bang your head, note that this album still has the energetic dance club beat in several tracks (which is a plus in my book). Lyrics are a little more explicit in this new album -- another plus in my book. I'm on my fourth listen today, and it's really growing on me.
