As Is The End of Nitzer Ebb

"This was the last great release from Nitzer Ebb before they just lost it completely. For me, BELIEF was the pinacle, and SHOWTIME was just as good (that is the tour I saw).



Don't get me wrong, That Total Age is classic, and So Bright So Strong is so naively (like U2's BOY album) perfect. But when I bought AS IS--the day it was released--I had hopes, and those hopes were not let down. The full length albums that followed... man, what can I say? They sucked.



I would suggest all of NE's catalogue up to this point. AS IS is good."

"As IS was an awesome EP that was released in 1991 and coincided with Ebbhead and conatined Family Man, Lovesick, Come Alive and Higher. Family Man is just taken from the album but the other tracks stand out as being some of the best non album tracks ever by Nitzer Ebb. Come Alive should have been included on Ebbhead and it should have been its own single and video. The lyrics, vocals and drumming on this track are some of the best I have ever heard. Lovesick and Higher also should have been included and I have no idea what prompted the band to make this seemingly strange and odd decision."
