5.0 out of 5 stars Run out and buy this, dears...right now., April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sin City (Audio CD)

Though the Genitorturers may be infamous for their elaborate, intensely erotic/sadistic stage shows, they also have the music to back their antics up (which other bands, like, say, Marilyn Manson, fail at.) "Sin City" proves to be an amazingly intriguing, sex-fueled, power-driven CD, and a major accomplishment. This disc is for everyone who has the insatiable hunger for metal, industrial, techno, and flat-out good talent. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars doesn't do you justice, July 18, 2001

It's kind of hard to be objective about a CD when it's by one of your favorite bands so here goes. "Sin City" is one of the tightest collections of songs I've heard in a long while. Not to sound too much like a professional reviewer... but, you know, sometimes you'll buy a CD by a band and though most of the songs are pretty good there's one or two that sound like they half-[effort] it. You'll have none of that here.

This new release is a vast improvement over "120 Days..." not that there was anything inherently wrong with it, but it was much more straightforward metal. "Sin City" definitely benefits from better production values and just generally has more texture and depth to it.

The sound, for those so inclined, is hard to pin down as it doesn't fit neatly into any category but Darkwave/Industrial is a stab in the right direction if a bit quaint. Generally speaking, if you're a metalhead the Genitorturers may not be hard enough for you, and if you're a batcaver they're probably too heavy for your sensibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars this cd is incredible...., February 6, 2000

it's good stuff. i'm still unable to decide whether to call it industrial or metal, but it doesn't matter much, because i can just call it great music. as i think someone already said, the Genitorturers' show is more famous than their music, so my expectations of this cd weren't especially high. big oops on my part. the cd is excellent. :) if you like loud, hard, exciting, dark, and erotic... buy this. now.
