5.0 out of 5 stars John would've loved it, February 17, 1999

This review is from: Let It Be (Audio CD)

Laibach offers up its Slavic/industrial track-for-track interpretation of the Beatles album of the same name. "Across the Universe" is actually quite nice. Everything else has been turned on its ear. The droning "I Me Mine" and "For You Blue" sound positively evil. No collection of Euro-industrial music or Beatles exotica is complete without it. Crank it up and convince your neighbors you're insane.

All these negative reviews... obviously pretentious Beatles lovers. As another reviewr said, most Beatles lovers will no doubt be angered by this disc and not "get it". Well it's their loss because this album is pure genius. The Beatles wrote it, Laibach re-wrote it thus, genius. If you read the negative comments you'll see that they really aren't objective at all, rather subjective to the person's own prejudices & tastes. Why am I not speaking about how the albums sounds? Well there's no real way to describe it. Perhaps The Beatles inside out and on their heads? Go into it with an open mind and you'll be pleased. Go into this expecting some ass-kissing interpretation of The Beatles, forget it. This is what a true cover cd would sound like.

When Yugoslavian Dictator, Tito, bought the collective farm the members of Laibach knew that their country would soon break apart. What could they do to document the changes that they foresaw? What else, re-make the Beatles' "Let it Be" album. The result was part Political Science lesson and part Performance Art. A stadium full of fans chants "I've gut ah Feehlink"; One After 909 is transformed into a Techno monster; we're treated to a beautiful version of Across the Universe then our eardrums are assaulted with Dig it. I was never a fan of the Beatles, but I love this CD. This is more art than music and, once you've heard it, you'll never be the same again.
