4.0 out of 5 stars Turning one song into, uh, eight., June 30, 2000

By	Robert (Medford, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Laibach are the undisputed experts at taking mundane songs we hear on the classic rock stations and injecting them with enough histrionics to make Jim Carrey blush. SEE Laibach turn the carefree, bouncy "woo-hoo" of the 'Stones song into a high-stepping military march! SEE Laibach recite Mick Jagger's stoner lyrics with the growling seriousness of a United Nations oration! SEE Laibach turn the song into a funked-out disco song complete with a daffy chorus of German girls who can barely pronounce "sympathy"!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Absolutely Whacked, May 1, 1999

By A Customer

The nazi propaganda family on the cover is just a primer for all the twisted humor you're in for with this CD. All three covers by Laibach are absolute riots. The one by Germania (track five) is probably the best of all, complete with well-placed Mick Jagger samples. I wonder what the Rolling Stones would think if they heard any of this. The other tracks are, well, strange. Punks and Goths are conformers. THESE guys are FREAKS.
