Money is the sixth studio album from industrial metal band KMFDM.

Money continues the industrial dance metal of the previous two albums, but comes closer and closer to the band's signature sound. With a delicious mix of heavy/thrash metal riffs, industrial dance, aggrotech, middle eastern scales, killer guitar solos, and a dash of funky licks to taste, Money really combines all of the band's previous elements beautifully.

There's the groovy thrashers like the title cut and the Slayer-esque riffing in "I Will Pray", a bit of industrial funk metal in "Bargeld" that really gets the groovy swing going, and the soulful "Help Us, Save Us, Take Us Away" which is probably my favorite. Dorona Alberti and Sascha Konietzko's vocals compliment each other's vocals really well in this track. Not to mention the aggressive mechanical drum beats, David Gilmour-esque guitar harmonies, and punchy metal riffs. Referring back to the title cut, this is a song with total attitude. The main riff packs a punch, along with the take-no-bullshit vocal rants of Konietzko. "Bargeld" actually kind of sounds like a metal-version of classic Orbital at times.

Money is quite a step-up from the previous album, feeling more focused yet also varied. If you want some killer industrial metal with styles to suit many tastes, check this album out. This album marked the beginning of a long string of masterpieces from the band.
