Ok fellow rivetheads, lets face it, we've been bombarded with a lot of crap in our genre the past few years. future-pop came and got old in less than a year. ebm isn't even ebm anymore. trance has polluted our music for way too long and it's time for a change. And after listening to Das Ich's new album, I'm starting to get some hope. Growling vocals, great, hard beats, unbelievable synths and sequences. This album is freaking wicked. The opening track Uterus is the highlight of the album to me. I wasn't sure of it when I first heard it, but then the chorus came up. BAMMMM!!! Wicked, wicked song. I can't say this is Das Ich's best album, but it's totally worth buying.

Das Ich- the epitome of what makes good industrial techno. Evil lyrics, complex beats, and vocals to send chills down your spine. Danceable and addictive, this CD is a must have for fans of Rammstein looking to expand their horizons, and a good match for those who appreciate Megaherz, Eisbrecher, Tanzwut, and In Extremo. A league above Funker Vogt or Hanzel und Gretyl.

I hope this album isn't a sign of things to come. After quite a few brilliant Dark Industrial albums full of complex arrangements and heavy machine-like beats, I never thought that Das Ich would begin to go full-on Disco. I guess that's what happens when you're on the Metropolis label. Your music starts to sound like every other beepy boopy release on that label. It's really unfortunate because Das Ich has always been above that sort of fluff. They waved the flag of true dark Industrial music during the Cyber-Pop and Trance plagues that even infected Wumpscut. This album however is a mixed bag. There are about 4 or 5 songs that I would consider to be classic material. Obviously forward thinking and not a rehash of old ideas, but hard, pounding, grating and epic Industrial beauty. The rest of the songs are simply too Dance oriented for me, too Disco. I listen to them and I feel like I've been defiled by PVC and bright colored hair extensions. This means that I skip over half the songs on this album. However, I still have to respect Mr. Kramm. His ingenious use of synth and sampling is still present and still inspiring. I just hope this isn't a sign that Das Ich will be turning down Dark-Tech road from now on. This is still an album worth owning for the few good songs and also for the multimedia track which features footage from their 2002 tour.
