This album was my introduction to this group. I was 16 and driving on the Highway when my friend popped in a tape and right from track one I was hooked. We must of played it 10 times during that trip and afterwards I borrowed it. This was the start to my love for industrial music and all these years later I still love this album just as much as I did back then. There's isn't one track on here I don't love, although I don't care too much for State Aid but I still listen to it without needing to skip it. I loved this album so much in highschool that we were asked to a report infront of the class about a song that had political or social meaning and I picked VX Gas Attack. Everyone was looking at me oddly as the track played and I blew away the teachers mind with my report about what the track was about. I scored 110% on the report because I handed it in early too. I'll never forget that.
The thing about this album I like so much is what it did for me as a lover of music. It opened up my mind and ears to a whole new genre and it showed me that one can be different without having to be a social outcast as well. I found others that liked this group in my school and made a couple close friends because of it. There's also a ton of movie samples on this album and that also had me researching where these movie samples came from and thus helping me find some pretty awesome movies that I love to this day as well. Such as Evil Dead II, The Plague Dogs and Le locataire [The Tenant]. I remember the first time hearing the track Testure, and reading the lyrics at the same time, I nearly had tears streaming down my face. The B-side tracks are awesome too. If you blast the track Funguss you'll have a whole new appreciation for it. The bass and noise in it rules! God what a fucking great album. After buying this album I pretty much bought every album this group made, and the singles for them. Proof that one album can have a huge influence over a young mind.
