Its a great album, very electro/IDM sounding mixed with their own grand operatic style. Laibach are collaborating with Umek on this on quite a few songs. You can listen to it |

Hi Tolstoyed its me Red from New Zealand, your old partner in crime....I love Laibach, whatever they do, they cant go wrong. I would love to see them live...my favorite track is Now You Will Pay :P |

oh, hi red! , yeah i remember flea liking them as well, actually you two were one of the few people knowing laibach and as i understand they're more of a live band, so i just might go see them as they're having some special gig in my town (as they're from here) with some guests, could be nice... they'll tour all around the world in the next year so perhaps you'll get a chance to see them there |

I just played some Beatles covers by them yesterday. Some were great and some were just terrible, but maybe that was the whole point :) |

Is that the Let It Be album? Their version of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones is worth a hear. |

Shame as it is, Laibach are now nothing but a novelty act that takes itself far too seriously. Nato, Jesus Christ Superstar, all a load of old toss, only good for a bit of a laugh. The new effort is not much better. Come back the early days, when Laibach were truly one of the most crushing industrial bands of their age. If you want to hear Laibach at their best.... NOVA AKROPOLA KRST POD TRIGLAVOM - BAPTISM LJUBLJANA - ZAGREB - BEOGRAD SLOVENSKA AKROPOLA LAIBACH KAPITAL |

I own all of these albums, they are moving along with time assimulating new technology. They started playing electronics earlier than anyone with Kapital which is full of breaks and hip hop elements, long before anyone other than Meat Beat Manifesto used them. I find the vocals, the lyrics and the operatic grandeur just as vital as the albums you have mentioned - it hasnt left my CD player and you left out some brilliant efforts such as Macbeth and Opus dei. With Nato, Jesus Christ Superstar they are taking on different muscial genres like techno and industrial metal in these cases and giving their very own Laibach twist. I dont find their music a novelty at all infact if you have a problem with satire you will find that you will have a problem with 90% of industrial music, people like Foteus, Ministry, Negativeland etc based their careers on it. |

Fair enough, if a second rate euro-techno cover version of Final Countdown floats your boat, then go for it. Personally I can't take it very seriously. And I have to take issue with your statement saying Laibach were the first using electronics, breaks and hip-hop with the release of Kapital! That album was released in 1992! I could start listing artists using these styles 15, 20 years before Kapital, but I'd be here all day..... |

I was referring to Industrial music, other than Meat Beat Manifesto, they were the first ones to use breaks. About Nato, come on get over it there is a lot more to the album than Final Countdown, what about their cover of Dogs of War or the song WAR whats it good for, yeah followed by a roll call of all the big corporations that benefit from it, not as shallow as you would think. Nato was a prophetic album released on the eve of the total cocking up of war in Yugosalivia by guess who NATO. If you see it in this light even the song you are decrying the Final Countdown makes perfect sense. Maybe they are just not the band for you, dont tell me you like the fake emoting twaddle industrial like Wumpscut. |

No, I'm not really into any contemporary industrial bands. Give me early Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, SPK any day. I also love Skinny Puppy and early Front Line Assembly. We'll have to agree to differ on the new Laibach I'm afraid, I just can't get into it... |

i've gotta say, like with most nitzer ebb and einsturzende neubatten, the vocals just aren't doin' it for me. thanks for posting it anyway, i like laibach for what they do, not so much their music in itself. |

Okay we should agree to disagree. |

perhaps someone would be interested in a book about laibach that just got out this days, its written by some enlish author...i'll look for the title when i get home i bought WAT mainly because i liked that tanz mit laibach single, but it kind of gets boring after 3 or 4 tracks, its too straight album for my likings, but they were this way almost all their career so i guess their fans will like it... |
