THE REVIEW
Leaving the house, exploding in a putrid packet of crisps, savoring rigid PVC pipes, renouncing one's gold-pharyngeal cable, hindering diaphragmatic and aerial outputs. Obscuring insidious plagiaries in catarrhal awakenings. Renouncing one's own mother.
Abandoning oneself to abrasive ruin. Practicing metaphysical-ultrasonic perversion. Drilling load-bearing walls mistaking them for human limbs. Floundering in cement-venereal puddles. Waiting in parking lots of asexual induction. Discussing nonsense that borders on grotesque populism. Telling jokes in front of a mortuary slab. Savoring nicotine by joining tar in stateless pulmonary cavities. Pressing on the sternums of inhibited rib cages. Marching to the rhythm of Frank Sinatra. Promoting hydrophobia through laryngitis. Evacuating workshops in decline. Praying in heroin-hued silences. Cawing and cursing at nothing. Idolizing a plastic garden plant: burning the tips of its leaves. Savoring the smell.
Negatively: no. Recognizing oneself in a tow hook. Waking up in echo-less tunnels. Flooding throats without any future. Prostituting benevolence under a mellifluous catharsis. Shivering at the crossroads, along the dark box of sinful dolls. Celebrating oneself in a Bowling Center with sacrilegious blasphemies. Tormenting toy heads buried in equally sinking illegal dumps. Confusing oneself in Middle Eastern gestures. Hating the Self turned to the wrong mirror, in flames. Negatively obstructing one's own shutters. Eroding barrels of oil hollow inside for ages. Even Dwarfs Started Small. Cutaneous solutions, mescaline, outrageous opiate products, post-meeting barbiturates. Cocaine pre-breakfast. Saturday/evening/night/morning of intensive care ending in a coma. Cries, strangled screams, auditory interferences, pleuritic misogynies. Mystical hazing. Repellent waiting for beaches of pure asbestos. Decomposing marble tentacles. Inhuman Kabbalah. Porno-Ironic-Franklinian euphemisms. Expressive catatonia.
Communicative reduction. Formless mimicry. Approximation. Irrationalization. Decadence. Collapse. Unlikely polling. Negatively: No. Negatively: Einstürzende Neubauten. Negatively: Projections of souls at collapse.

Summary by Bot
The review of Einstürzende Neubauten's 'Kollaps' paints the album as a deeply abrasive and metaphysical work of sonic art. Through vivid, abstract imagery, it highlights the album's chaotic and experimental nature. The reviewer praises the band's ability to evoke collapse and decay musically and conceptually. This album stands out as a landmark piece in industrial and avant-garde music.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
Einstürzende Neubauten

"More than a record, Kollaps becomes a sort of expressionist painting, where the listener feels part of the brutal violence produced by the jackhammers."
"Within an industrial press, where everything is generated and recycled with surgical speed, feelings become only superficial stages of existence."
By Lord.Galamoth
Their music was indeed based on the use of everyday objects, from teaspoons to jackhammers, including hoses, grinders, and anything they deemed necessary to reproduce the "cry of industrial civilization."
Kollaps is a manifesto of industrial avant-garde, one of the harshest and darkest records in the entire contemporary music scene.
