"I just realized that these classic Wax Trax records - and this is one of the best of them - are sounding weirder and weirder as time goes by. Part of it is that the sound is gone: No one is making records that sound anything like Beers, Steers & Queers anymore. So it sounds dated, but in a ghostly surreal way. As extreme musical beats have moved to the DHR style, or the urban hip-hop style, putting on an old Wax Trax Luxa/Pan album is like coming across a deserted ship lost at sea, whose crew had murdered one another in a fit of rum and scurvy.
If you never paid attention to this kind of music, or it happened before your time, check this disc out, and get a taste of what it was like at to hang out at the Exit in Chicago in 1991."
I love this album

"it's weird i like it. if you know me, you'd think i'd get bored listening to it because there really isn't a lot of change in the music. it's just real beat and groove heavy industrial. one long steady sound you can rock out to while you do stuff. i love it and you should get it."
Rare gem of early industrial music...

"This album is worth having for the title track alone! But I find that on a whole it speaks for itself and a time that cannot be repeated. Nuff said."
Beers Steers & Queers ~ Revolting Cocks

"Revolting Cocks is one of Alain Jourgensens many side projects and its amazing, weird, disturbing and stupendous at the same time. The lyrics are filled with rage, venom and anger. Alain Jourgensen is as crazy as ever and he has written something quite special. Tracks such as beer, steers and quuers, stainless steel providers and (Lets get) Physical are all really well done. The cover for this album is very nice and presents some of the members on what looks like an old roman coin and the book-let is sparse yet the logotype is well done and not as odd or strange as other Jourgensen albums."
I remember standing in line for this one!

"The single and remix for the title track had been getting good play in the clubs and bars of Chicago since Xmas '89, and we all waited in line on Lincoln Avenue for Wax Trax to open on the day the LP was released. Chris Connely was onhand and signing those white "RevCo World" Tshirts. He wrote "Keep playing with Cocks" on mine. The album may have been their last worth buying as the whole scene fizzled out by the next Spring. Highlights of the album are the studio version of "In The Neck" which had been a live staple for several years and the LP mix of "Physical". The artwork was great and I remember this as being the first Wax Trax recording offered on Compact Disc, but maybe it was just the 1st that I bought!"
