This review is from: Nymphomatik (Audio CD)

This album went straight to the bottom of my list after I bought it, for the cheesy lyrics you will read about in all of the other reviews here, but lately it has been in my cd player constantly. It is just so catchy. Once you get past the idea that Da5id Din is likely the biggest male slut on earth (or at least his lyrics lead you to beleive so), the music is quite good, and his goth-leaden sisters-of-mercy-esque voice and bad lyrics fit nicely together. It kind of gives me a nice picture of how people really justify some of the things they do. Pure genius here, whether on purpose or by accident, who can say? But one thing is for sure. The musical quality, production and structure, is phenominal. Some of the best dancy industrial electro-poppy-ness I have heard. Ever. Very very catchy. And just when the beats get repetitive, it gets switched up into some new groove. Dance-floor anthems galore. Well worth the money, just dont go expecting any life-changing, heart rending, or even intelligent lyrics. Sounds like Funker Vogt in love (imagine that).

Fear and Loathing in Kentucky!

I admit that I do like the song "Built For Pleassure". That is pterry much about it though. This is just a cheesy band as far as I have heard. These songs are just silly and I doubt that they will be making anymore records after this crappy album. They act like some kind of a rivet-stud duo...and the guys voice is annoying...especially on the really bad song "Physical Education". If you like cheese...than here it is...enjoy!

This review is from: Nymphomatik (Audio CD)

When I read the reviews for this album, I was frightened by what I saw. Everything people had to say made it sound like Informatik was no more, instead replaced by something far less feeling/ far more predictable. No distortion? No talent? No more "stompy"? That didn't sound like the Informatik I had grown to love in the past. True, I had purchased Din Fiv, but this was a simple side project and not a direction in which I want such a talented band to turn in. Still, knowing how many opinions there are under the rainbow, I decided to throw caution to the wind and pick up the album anyhow.
As I listened to Nymphomatik, a nice blend of old sounds and new vocal directions, I saw what the problem. Informatik had changed the style they had previously confined themselves within, they had grown, and their album reflected that in many ways. They, like so many other bands, were not being insulted for lyrical content or for becoming like everyone else, but were being insulted for disappointing because they either changed too much or didn't change enough. It seems the critics were in and the album had gotten lost somewhere in the mix.
Personally, I found the album very appealing and would suggest it for your listening consumption. Still, If you want an accurate review, you probably shouldn't listen to anyone else's opinion beside your own. There are sound clips available for your listening pleasure, plus Metropolis records provides something to listen to as well. Between the two, you can get a feel for the album and can decide if the change (or lack of?)
