    KMFDM rebound from the lukewarm MDFMK project pulsing and palpitating with a sense of urgency that proves this machine is not obsolete. [May 2002, p.88]
  2. Sounds fresher than anything the group has attempted in a long time.

    While lacking the high-concept drama of the similarly-minded Rammstein, KMFDM are more sonically adventurous: drum'n'bass and digital dancehall spice up the usual murderously heavy riffing. [May 2002, p.115]
  4. A new set of hard-driving war cries that aren’t all that different from yesterday’s, but different enough to be entertaining while somewhere short of inspiring.
  5. The quality is uniform, but below par.
  6. Mixer

    Boasts the same predictable guitar riffs and unengaging listening experience as the outfit's other recent works. [May 2002, p.72]
