this needs a vinyl release already.. impatiently awaiting that day. ;)

KMFDM's sixth studio album, and arguably the "heaviest" album of the original band's existence. This was the first album with guitarist Mark Durante, and engineer Chris Shepard, both of which were on the next 2 albums, which are arguably considered the KMFDM essential trilogy (Angst, Nihil, & Xtort), one could argue that the reason this album has such a heavy sound was due to the fact that this was the first time in the band's history that they had two highly skilled and talented guitar players, also, this was the first time En Esch was working on an album again since "Naive", being Esch was responsible for guitar on the earlier albums, that meant there was now 3 guitarists writing material, and competing for play time on the album, likely leading to healthy competition, and each likely upping the ante (which is likely how a band can go from writing techno driven songs like spiritual house, to bombastic wall of guitar metal tracks like " A drug against war" in just one album). Needless to say, if you've ever heard anything at all you liked from KMFDM, you're going to like this one. Excessive Force's albums are of the same quality and era as Angst, and are equally worth checking out, considering KMFDM only had a short time preforming at this level, it's a shame that the EF albums are often not known about and passed over, because they sit perfectly between Money and Angst.
