A change in direction from their previous release, while maintaining the spirit of the sound. It's a different direction, but equally good as anything they've done. Mp3.com has songs available, please check them out. There is only one Babyland.

Recommended to anyone who is looking for a TRULY unique band.

They're back for another round with their second album. This album flows really well but is not a huge departure from their first,but the progression of their experience and style are still visible and exciting. What makes this one one of my personal faves is the cover of "PINK FROST", a bone chilling recreation of a very intimate song originally by a band called The Chills. A Total Let Down is far from that on a consumer scale. Even your pets will dance to this one!

This album is a classic. All of the songs have great lyrics and soul lacking in much industrial-type music these days. Live junk percussion and cheap synthesizers are meshed with clever sample selection and abrasive but intelligent vocalization. Highly recommended. Anything but a total let down...

A nice progression for the band. This album, imo, is a bit more musically stripped down at times. What hits me the hardest about it is it's still an individual album with it's own feeling, even though there's a definate change in direction from their previous release.

If you're up for something different, and hoping for something unique that you can listen to from beginning to end, DISCOVER BABYLAND!

Being the second Babyland CD, this one stumbles through some unusual ideas that seem to have been leftover from the era of the first release, such as the increadibly strange "Suitable For Framing," plus some outstanding and completely new ideas such as "Worst Case Scenario" and "Dismissal" - both of which are more or less live hits for the band. (interestingly - MPEG videos for these two songs appear on the "A Total Let-Down" CD). All in all it's an excellent listen - with no two songs sounding alike and some GREAT details to be found within each of them. This record goes especially well with rainy days and depressing moods.

this music is the inner soundtrack to the villians in The Road Warrior. I got to see some live footage of this duo and words can't describe it. The sheer energy is so spectaular. I can't afford to buy a CD.......However I will forever praise this band. To tell you the truth I really don't dig so-called Industrial or whatever...but there's something special to the sound of these guys.
