    the "new" Neubauten is a stronger unit than it has been in the entire latter half of its existence.... Silence Is Sexy is brilliant, and Einsturzende Neubauten remains without peer. [#46, p.75]

    They might not be as unsettling as they were in their early days, but they still know how to mess things up.

    Using everything from string quartets to jet turbines, metal sheets and electric guitar, it moves from being severely irritating to moments of great beauty. Worth persevering with, if you're willing to go the emotional distance.

    Sure its not Stratagies against Architecture, but what it does bring to the table is a refinement that has not been seen in a lot of the work they have done. Or it could be seen as an attempt to recapture the beauty of Blume. But I think that the more accessible sound that has been created, will draw more people into what the band has been doing for the last however many years. However I can't complain.… Expand
