In your face industrial rock with some slower tunes sprinkled throughout makes WWIII a great addition to their line of albums. KMFDM is a German acronym which stands for "no pity for the masses" and they make it a point to outline this throughout this album. The entire album takes a political stance on numerous issues making headlines today and has an opinion on them with title such as "Stars and Stripes," "Moron," and "Bullets, Bombs and Bigotry." Additionally, this album moves away from using electronic instruments to make music and employs the talents of the "live" band used on the "Sturm und Drang" tour. They do a fabulous job of putting things together and put out a kick ass album.
the good: killer sound; great to see that they haven't lost their edge the bad: the pissed off sound dies out a bit as the album progresses the ugly: nuthin'
potty-mouth tracks: 3,6,9,11(see inside for times)
