Anyone using the word 'electroclash' to describe Laibach needs a kick in the head.


The Return of Laibach ?   October 30, 2003

I would consider this the best Laibach release since Opus Dei.
With the electronic nature of this album, one might want to make comparisons to Kapital or NATO. However, it seems that Laibach are drawing much more heavily from their earlier works and this album could be more easily associated with Rekapitulcaija or the self-titled Laibach.

WAT will make a good introduction to new listeners who have missed the last couple of decades of Laibachkunst.

I can only hope that with the vitality of this new work, Laibach and NSK end their period of hibernation and once again become more active on all fronts.

I've always loved Laibach, but this album was an unexpected treat for me. Even if I had specific expectations for this album, I couldn't have imagined the new direction they would've branched off to. Don't worry... although the style of the album is different, you still get Ivan's incredible basso profundo, you still get some orechestral elements, and you still get the Eastern Bloc sounding choirs... but this time around, it is melded with hard, almost old-school sounding electronics and stiff beats. Imagine earlier Nitzer Ebb married to the typical growling Laibach vocals and you will be well on your way to understanding what this album sounds like. A rare combination of something that sounds vaguely familiar while having an identity all it's own. Brilliant!
