There is a lot to be written about this album. It says a lot. Every song should me commented, but of course, after confirming the lyrics (I couldn't find it anywhere). There are interesting things, like: the use of palestinian anthem in Yisra'el (showing the hypocrisy of zionism), praising Russia while attacking USA and England, the Francia song seems to call French people to expulse immigrants (which is not a bad idea in the context which it is put in) – “they come right into our home and cut the throat of our mother France!!” , the Vatican song is the only one without comments from Milan Frans, Germania tells german people to face the past (I guess), they praise Spain (with some sort of irony, though) and so on. I thought the whole album would criticize the nations, but that's not the case, Laibach marked its enemies and allies. The lines in America "praise the lord, praise the holy spirit, to save us from your freedom, justice, peace...violence and confusion, your growing despair and great depression" it's a picture of the all-mighty totalitarian and war-hungry USA, whom uses the excuse of improving things to impose their will in the name of their interests and to enslave people and destroy their lives - as well as the chaotic life in north-American metropolises. Great, great album. Musically and lyrically fantastic. Great idea, also.
