5.0 out of 5 starsKeiner Macht Fur Dich Mehr
By A Customer on January 13, 2001
Format: Audio CD
This was my first KMFDM purchase after tasting a delectable treat of "Ultra" from the Manga Entertainment trailer video in the 10th grade. I just had to check this band out...
What I got was a total electro-thrash-noise symphony that you can dance your ass off to. I totally fell in love with KMFDM and bought their other albums after this. "Nihil" stands as KMFDM's hardest album, with more guitars, sampling, kling-klangs, noise, and screams than you can shake a stick at.
I lost my KMFDM virginity to the opening track, "Ultra." It stands as an orchestra of angst and screams, with hardcore electronic composition, ultra heavy beats, and sick, seeping lyrics. "Juke Joint Jezebel" is perhaps the most intelligent track on this record, with blazing female choruses and industrial percussions galore. "Flesh" and "Brute" are most excellent performances by Raymond Watts, with gutsy metal guitars by Gunther Schulz and Mark Durante. "Beast" is a spooky club-worthy track with violent lyrics, smart electronics, and one hell of a chorus. "Revolution" is a thrash-fest with the classic industrial beats, with a notable performance by my man En Esch. "Disobedience" is a brilliant crossover track that mixes the heavy industrial beats with metal and ska...must love those trumpets! The album is closed off with the speedy joy-gasm "Trust."
This KMFDM record stands out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the KMFDM albums. It is the most original, beautifully crafted piece of work that KMFDM had to offer to the industrial community. Do yourself a favor and buy this masterpiece. You surely won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 starsI never dreamed it would come to this...
By Charlie on July 15, 2005
Format: Audio CD
*sigh*

It is truly depressing to see this staple of industrial and 90's rock in such bad shape. Out of print for 7 years, and going for 30 bucks a pop...

But, inflated price aside, this album is the most important in the KMFDM catalouge. In the industrial catalouge. In the 90's music catalouge. Because it proved that electronic rock could be something other than "The Downward Spiral". It could actually ROCK as well as mope.

The entire album is amsterfully produced, with the guitar drifting in and out seamlessly. It manages to be poundingly heavy without a single organic instrument. And the vocals range from growls to moans to groans to shreiks to wails to serenades all in one song. The are more hooks in JJJ alone than China could hang all of its coats on. And every track is perfect. Ultra is a brilliant intro, JJJ is just soo catchy, Flesh is a downright thrsh-fest, Beast has great lyrics and a fun guitar solo/conversation, Terror uses perfect sampling, and it goes on, with such ingenuity...

Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's about time!
By CRAZOTOLOGY on June 23, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Here it is...Nihil re-released, digitally remastered, new label, and same great songs...only now they sound louder and better. Remember, re-mastered is not the same as remixed. It's still the same songs only now they sound like they just came out this year. The qaulity is excellent and up to par with anything else you would find on a recent Metropolis record. Ok, now about the CD, ...great KMFDM CD, with Raymond Watts (PIG) on vocals. Includes the famous KMFDM hit "Juke Joint Jezebel", and the rest of the songs are mighty cool as well. Great album for fans of Foetus, 16 Volt, Sister Machine Gun, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and early Marilyn Manson.

Here is a breif summury of the tracks:

1. ULTRA - powerful electro industrial anthem to kick the album into gear. It's a song about setting yourself apart from a conformist society and feeling the true passion of your freedom.

2. JUKE JOINT JEZEBEL - A huge KMFDM hit in the industrial dance clubs. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but IMO, it's about drugs.

3. FLESH - A metal song that seems to be about self forgiveness.

4. Beast - starts off with these acidic sounding organs that clashes into coldwave electronica and rock. Lyrics open to interpretation, IMO, a song about self revelation and being proud of your dark side.

5. TERROR - a verry industrial sounding rock song that uses a political metaphor.

6. SEARCH AND DESTROY - Another industrial metal anthem to non comformity.

7. DISOBEDIENCE - A melodic downbeat industrial song that boosts into some 80's hairband sounding guitars. Lyrics about being oblivious and blind to the a world that is socially inept.

5.0 out of 5 starsKMFDM; better than the best!!!
By Sex_Engr_RockNRoll on October 31, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
**Intro**
This is one of the best albums that KMFDM has ever made. It is kind of the height of their creativity, and is among the most visceral and menacing of any of their work. While some of their albums have two or three good songs, on this album they are pretty much all good. If you want to explore KMFDM, this would be a good first album. If you are a dedicated fan, you have to have this one in your collection to be legit.

**The songs**
1. Ultra - This serves as the introduction to the album. It has good baseline, and has kind of a "KMFDM hitting the road toward revolution." sort of atmosphere, particularly in the beginning.
2. Juke Joint Jezebel - A signature KMFDM song. Nice male and female vocals put together. Heavy guitar and synthesizer work together really well.
3. Flesh - Excellent lyrics. For example, "This is the dome of my betrayal, this is the final broken nail."
4. Beast - Use of an dark organ part, and dark, calm, evil vocals. Laser gun-like science fiction sounds that are whimsical, almost cheesy in the accompaniment. Chorus male and female vocals together. Lyrics include "I'm out of control; and I love it!!"
5. Terror - Lyrics about terror well before 9/11. Content is about anarchy, rebellion, resent of social injustice.
6. Search & Destroy - Fast and driving lyrics and again, really good lyrics one liners such as "Do we sit in the saddle, or are we just cattle?" and "Are we victims or winners; believers or sinners?"
7. Disobedience - Typical KMFDM, but contains excerpts from civil rights movement speeches mixed in with the music. Song is about political disobedience.
