KMFDM sucks

"Just kidding ;). KMFDM does not suck. They are easily one of my all time favorite industrial bands. For a long time, the band's catalog from the past decade had been out of print. Last year Sascha Konietzko finally was able to obtain the rights to the band's earlier albums and began to remaster and re-release them through KMFDM's own record label and Metropolis Records. One of the first handful of albums that released last year was the classic ANGST. Without a shadow of a doubt, the album sounds a hundred percent better than the 1994 version. The production on the original album is awful in comparison to the remastered version. The music sounds fresh as ever, never sounds dated or obsolete. Considering the current state of the world, ANGST captures the discontent that many Americans are feeling with its politically charged lyrics. The music itself is as abrasive as the lyrics with its searing guitar riffs and club friendly dance beats. I am glad that Sascha went through the painstaking task of remastering and re-releasing the band's earlier albums. They deserved it and to be heard all over again."
