MojoApr 28, 2022Lengthy spoken-word soliloquys (in German), sonic paintings of air raids and oracular avant-classical minimalism sit alongside more familiar Laibach Strum und Drang - the group's disorienting way with reframing materials makes for an unnerving experience full with violence, trauma and insight.

[May 2022, p.48]

Classic Rock MagazineApr 28, 2022This is not easy listening but it is arguably Laibach's most sonically rich, least ironic, most mature work to date. [May 2022, p.81]
