Review:
It is difficult for me to do a full review of this album because I only have a few tracks from it (they can be found on the CD version of 'Opus Dei'). I have read a number of independent reviews and can conclude that this album is very much in the same vein as 'Macbeth'. It is the soundtrack to an NSK, avant garde style theatrical production. The album is said to be lavishly illustrated, and some suggest that this is Laibach's finest hour:

"Yet, however interesting Laibach's cultural scavenging proves in the long run (and the recent metal-tinged 'Jesus Christ Superstars' wears painfully thin), their greatest reward comes in the earlier 'Krst pod Triglavom-Baptism' (Sub Rosa, import), a theatrical ritual of horror and fear."

American Bear #21, October / November 1997 Scary Monsters: tributes, requiems and soliloquies; things that go thump, bump, bang and twang in the night...
 

Worth Buying?
Listen to the audio clips and decide if you like this more avant garde style music. If you like Laibach's interpretation of 'Macbeth' then 'Krst pod Triglavom - Baptism' might be for you.
