Kollaps

I respect this album a lot more than I enjoy it, because this isn't music to really be enjoyed in the same way many other albums are. It sounds very raw and noisy, and laid the groundwork for a lot of the industrial music that would follow this. This album sounds incredibly rough around the edges, like they're just banging metal objects into the microphone, and shouting. Also, with it being in German, I couldn't understand a word that was being said, which probably added to the strangeness to the album for me. It also added to the atmosphere and noisiness of the tracks, given that German can be quite a harsh-sounding language, which fits this albums sound perfectly. That being said, there moments here that almost sound normal (In comparison to everything else on this album), "Sehnsucht" for example almost sounds like it could come from a more mainstream experimental album from this time. It definitely is an important album, and should be praised as such, but I can't see myself returning to this ever.
