"If you like industrial/techno music this is the way to go. This ablum is fast paced with keyboard driven effects and guitar."

"One of the things I read about Cubanate was that you can't tell whether you're hearing synth or real guitar, because they use both in a seamless integration of industrial & rock.. which makes this a great example of coldwave industrial.I agree with another reviewer that there are better albums, such as Antimatter (that's my opinion). However this has some hard driving tracks like Exultation and Vortech I, which is what I love about Cubanate.Fans of bands like Bile, Chemlab, etc. have to pick up some Cubanate if you haven't already. This is a fine album to start with.BUY THE CD, DON'T STEAL THEIR MP3s. this music deserves much better than 128kbit/sec compression."

"Knowing pretty much each little industrial / metal band in the world that has made an album: trust me: it does not get much better then Barbarossa.Extremely well produced & smart record, yes sir.No compromises, just blunt industrial music. All songs are excellent. Expect no compromises in the lyrics, words like LETS GO TO WAR (titelsong), give away the caracter of this album.very very good."
Good, but not their best.

"Honestly, this cd spent the least amount of time in my cd player of all their albums. It's not bad, but it doesn't give you enough to want to come back for more. Great if you're a fan though. I wouldn't get this one first, Get either antimatter or cyberia first. Antimatter would be more apt in my opinion to be in the "top 5 industrial albums ever." My second favorite pick is "interference.""
