May 12, 2026Their transformation into a Eurodisco powerhouse may come as a shock, and at times it’s like being repeatedly punched in the face by The Village People and Simon Cowell, but beneath the surface lies an album rich in ideas and social commentary.

May 18, 2026With Musick, Laibach makes something so numbing, so invasive, so sickly sweet that Odysseus wouldn’t need tying to the mast, so banal, so awful to contemplate (if you could be bothered to drag yourself away from your screen), that you surrender to its surface glitter and uneasy depths over and over again.

May 12, 2026It's hard to decide what to make of Musick, a genuinely baffling release that offers some interesting social commentary, but also isn't quite as fun to listen to as it wants to be.
