At first when I started listening to this CD I thought "wow, TKK has gone all wussified". But as each song progressed on the CD the beats got more evil and by the end of the CD it was *almost* old school, vintage TKK. I think the arrangement of these songs was very deliberate as is evidenced by the title of the CD. Overall a pretty good CD

Daisy Lou is right.....it kicks a respectable amount of ass.

"This is a pretty damn good industrial/glam/dance/rock cd. While it doesn't pack the full blown punch of 100% new material, it still is new music. I mean, I'm sorry but track nine, "Young Tongue" kicks ass. All too often when a group has been around for ten years plus and had many releases (which is no small feat), almost any new release is railed upon with criticism from fans in year ten that want music just like in year one. The problem is bands must evolve to survive. If they don't change they become boring and very early on get labelled as talentless one trick ponies. So, it's fine if you don't like the directions a band goes but lots of people like early TKK just as much as recent TKK. So, if you're one of the former, it's not that you're a die hard fan and TKK is letting you down and it isn't *really* My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult anymore. Fans of only old material don't possess the true identity of a band, the notion is absurd. The truth of the matter is TKK is TKK and you're just not a fan anymore. It's evolution at work. For those of you waving a fond farewell while clasping your Wax Trax copies of "I See Good Spirits..." there are new fans arriving. A number of my friends who haven't cared much about TKK love this CD and bought it after I played it for them. Besides, its a given that if they produced a new CD with an older, more familiar style tons of people would just bitch that they were falling back on their old sounds and being lazy and not trying to come up with anything new. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't arrangement with fans. This disc uses old to make new. The sense of entitlement fans tend to feel amazes me. If you like a band's cd you like it and if you don't you don't but the band doesn't *owe* you anything. Make no mistake I am not saying you're wrong if you don't like this disc and I am right because I do, nothing of the sort. I'm saying don't wait for the next "Sexplosion!" because it already happened ."
Good Dirty Fun!

"I've been a Kult follower from the beginning, and I love this album! They've taken some of their best-loved samples and hooks (most from the "Sexplosion" era, although actually spanning pretty much the whole saga) and reworked them into something just as good: a sleazy, disco soundtrack for a joyride to Hell! True, there's a little more sex and a little less Devil and drugs in this mixture, but who's complaining? Longtime fans wil love it, but so will neophytes--it's a great soundtrack for parties, and there's something for everyone. Note: since some reviewers seem unclear on the concept of the sound collages at the beginning and end of the CD: those are the intro and the outro. They're not songs, they don't care if you "like" them or not, they're just to set the mood... In-between is pure Kult mayhem: enjoy!"
