Album Rating: 3.0
The first side is brilliant. The second side is utter bullshit. What is up with your compulsory white noise, guys? Seriously what the fuck! And then they fucking use it, it's only there for like 15 seconds. Why use it in the first freaking place? I know Krautrock is essentially a big piece of white droning noise, but it fucking works! Can you believe it. It takes you somewhere! Loads of stuff going on in that track under the surface. The sad skinhead, is a quirky little ditty about skinheads. It god damn catchy and funny at the same time. Jennifer is beautiful. Lovely melody, memorable and spacey. And 4 minutes in you have your first piece of stupid white noise. Actually i kind of like it. But anyhow, side 2 is a bunch of unmemorable wanking "experiments", balanced with a unhealthy dose of droning farts. or that's what it seems like. Giggy Smile re-uses one of the "musical jokes" off of So Far. And guess what, it's bloody annoying. It was fine on So Far, it was even amusing. Here they play that shit like there's no tomorrow, 3 goddamn minutes. It might not sound like a long time, but boy is it when you are listening to it. One minute would have more than enough. But it has some awesome lyrics about naked german women, so that's cool. Or that's at least what it sounds like. Don't even get me started on Läuft come here or bold. Sounds like they where out of ideas here. But you can always return to the white farting. It comes and it goes. That makes it even more annoying. I needed to have a rant.
