In the late 80s, some things were indeed still sacred, and MLWTTKK was out to defy them. In today's post-Marilyn Manson age, it's sometimes hard for younger people to understand why stuff like this was so scandalous back in the day. Bands who were bold enough to so clearly mock organized religion were few and far between. The Dead Kennedys were known for going there, and of course Ozzy was doing his theatrical bit with crucifixes and implied "Satanic" overtones. TKK wasn't the first or even the most scandalous band to do it, but "Kooler Than Jesus", which collects three of their early EPs, is a good example of how they were among the first to do it with club music and electronica. It was them and, to a lesser degree Ministry, who were inspired ... Read More:

My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult has moved through quite a few types of music while on their way toward becoming "the most dangerous cult in America." From that early taste of the electronica/ industrial that would one day help reshape the way we view machines to music of an odder, more theme-oriented place of residents, they've managed to grow and become something that is, quite simply, entertaining. I've personally liked the way nothing is sacred to them and the way they come down on just about any subject they want to, from drugs and delusion to the observations birthed under the cross. Much of what they've done, especially in those early days, is golden.
Kooler Than Jesus is a little taste of quite a few themes, and its quite an entertaining ... Read More:

In short, this is a great 7 track techno/industrial album, with lots of good samples. But, I would recommend this to the TKK fanatic mostly. As good as it is, I would start another place if looking for your first TKK disc. "I see good spirits, and I see bad spirits", and "Confessions of a knife" are most like this, and both better overall. After these three albums, TKK go from a darker, to more dancy sound. Though "Sexplosion" and "13 above the night" are both excellent as well. Whichever TKK cd you choose, including this one, you'll be kooler for it.

TKK has gone through quite a change since their early days. Personally I stopped listening to them after Sexplosion (a bit too cheesy for my tastes) and I have to rank this at the top. The title track is my favorite, but I think the whole CD is top notch. All the songs have crazy movie samples. If you like Front 242 I know you'll love this. For those who like TKK's later stuff give this a try too. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

There are only 7 songs on here but every song clocks in at no less than 4 and a half minutes. This album is 2 new songs, an unreleased song, a remix, and TKK's 3 first recordings originally on MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT. If you are a TKK fan BUY IT NOW. if not , check out the samples. This album contains the second best TKK song SHOCK OF POINT 6. If you are an industrial dance fan and like Wax Trax releases I suggest you buy this classic right away.
