Editorial Reviews

The sounds are louder, dirtier, heavier, faster, and noisier on Atari Teenage Riot's 60 Second Wipe Out. But to what end? The screaming, faux-revolutionary, Baader Meinhof-like rants are just so much sonic wallpaper, akin to the bloody bleeps of a Mortal Kombat video game. ATR's music began in 1992 as a ridiculously cartoonish, potentially exciting amalgam of hard-core punk rock, techno, and drum & bass. And while their music never lived up to its promised "revolution," that was not much of a surprise to anyone. It is a wonder, however, that this record is so completely unexciting, what with so much fast, high-decibeled noise swathed in the distorted boom-box aesthetic to which all Digital Hardcore records must submit. For all their radical rhetoric, ATR have merely demonstrated once again what we already learned from the likes of MDC back in '83: louder and faster are most certainly not better. --Mike McGonigal

4.0 out of 5 stars The Non-conformist Force of Angry Raver Youth has RETURNED!, May 11, 1999

By A Customer

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.) :)

5.0 out of 5 stars revolution action!, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

Around 3 am some monday ago. I'd just happen to be watching MTV's AMP. Then they played the revolution action video. i was glued, recorded the video to vhs, and watched it a few dozen times since. well untill i purchased 60 second wipe-out that is. it not only saved my poor eyes but allowed for an enjoyable musical expirience aswell. Thank You ATARI TEENAGE RIOT!

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is okay, but inferior to Burn Berlin, Burn!, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

Burn Berlin, Burn! makes you want to scream and shout like the band; it's just got so much energy. 60 Second Wipeout is a poppish album that has lame coruses to tracks that are supposed to be real screamers, and while the songs are okay they just don't sound as 'hard' as ATRs earlier stuff. Burn Berlin, Burn! had a lot of meaningless revolutionary rhetoric that accompanies so many punk albums made by people who are no more than kids themselves, and while it worked in Burn Berlin,Burn!, the same can't be said for 60 Second Wipeout. Sometimes I just wanted to tell the lead singer to shut her mouth. But then I remember how cute she is and I feel guilty.
