ATR's Peak, July 11, 2003
This review is from: 60 Second Wipe Out (Audio CD)
I can't believe how many people don't understand this album. Sure, this isn't a mellow, soul-searching acoustic work, but it isn't supposed to be. That of course doesn't mean there isn't a place for this in the collection of every well-rounded music fan-- sometimes you just want something really hard and fast and angry, and ATR does it better than anyone. This is an absolute masterpiece, with a more professional, better-layered production quality that suits ATR perfectly. The band constantly borders on total electronic meltdown as they just radiate energy and shout some of their most coherent revolutionary lyrics and memes. Get this CD and get ANGRY.

The Non-conformist Force of Angry Raver Youth has RETURNED!, May 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 60 Second Wipe Out (Audio CD)
ATR IS BACK!!!!!! While there are lots of similarities between this album and Burn Berlin Burn, many of the trax are dustier and harder --- lots of horror-movie screaming, harder and faster -- jumpy, too, kinda like this review. The missing star is for the lack of slow and thoroughly comprehensible trax like "Sex" which appear on Delete Yourself! (1995) and Burn Berlin Burn. ATR isn't exactly well-known for its slower recordings, but we DO know that Hanin Elias can do more than scream :) The sequel to the original "ATR" (Track 4) is just as good, but maybe not single material (although it'd be cool). "Ghostchase" (my fave) and "Too Dead For Me" are prolly the best contenders. Atari Teenage Riot fans, buy right NOWWWWW!!!!! (if you're new to ATR, though, Burn Berlin Burn's prolly your best bet.) :)

The Best Harcore techno EVER, August 23, 2005
This review is from: 60 Second Wipe Out (Audio CD)
I was at first suspicious of this laubm after seeing the bad reviews on it, but after buying and listening to it I realized that this is indeed the best ATR album. I have listened to a lot of ATR's early works and have loved it intensely. I was not prepared for what they would bring on one of their later works. This album ROCKS from beginning to end!!!! It appears that they have let go of their driving house beat (the constant boom-boom-boom) for a more punk drum driven style that replicates what a normal drummer would do except in a much faster pace. ATR on this album has abandoned their repetitive punk "soundbytes", for the most part, and have opted for a rap driven fast-paced vocal assault. While the vocals are not exactly rap, they yell and scream much faster and with great abandonment. I have yet to hear anything like the tracks "No Success" and "Your Uniform (does not impress me)". Any fan of drum and bass who wishes that someome would release something harder should spring for this album. This album also appeals to punk sensabilites in its political, angry, don't give a crap lyrics and beat. This album will make you want to rip appliances out of walls and beat the crap out of yuppies. Obtain this album if you truly possess deep rooted anger and all will be free.
