Summary: dull "music of der future".
Comment: There is something inherently prosaic in this dead dull "music of der future". Fortunately, man has still some sense of individualism, but barely, and Kraftwerk's fascist goal for music has not rendered vocals obsolete. Listening to this, it harkens back to the techno geek 1970's when Germans laden in neo-fascist uniforms with thin ties and a pound of grease on their hair, showed no emotion on stage, acting like machines. Most of them wore leather pants so tight that they froze while playing, hence the dumb and inarticulate Krautbot look. They copied architecture chic from the 1930's, added some 70's porn montage and called it "modern" 1970's and praised the revolution of robots and computers. Not only is that very idea horrifying, but it is also silly. "Kraftwerk" means "cheese plant" in German and they are very cheesy.
The CD is probably one of the most horrible things I've listened to. If you can get to the end of it, you'll find all sorts of unwanted electronic noise, Krautbot voice dubs, electro fuzz, beeps, computer konks, repugnant computer-generated vocals, static, repulsive synthesizers, and extremely unpleasant clamor that goes on forever, that you'll soon be reaching for a hammer to crush the CD. In my estimation, all crap. A few American bands at the time tried the stale trend with deadly results, Gary Numan The Pleasure Principle (1979), Styx Kilroy Was Here (1983) , both tossed their careers away because of it.
You'll be reminded of foolish telephone companies, lumbering computer screens, electronic wires, gay 70's discos, and moronic techno cabarets in smelly, dark German cellars. So, unless you're a nerd or have little taste in music, forget this stuff ever existed.

Summary: Computerwelt is way better.
Comment: This is a perfect album in almost every sense; production, composition, performance, concept, etc.
It's only drawback is that this is the English version. The lyrics in "Computer World" have been edited and they have no real meaning nor sense anymore. This is why I give it 4 stars.
The German version has more sound channels, more lyrics and more overall meaning.
You'll notice the differences as soon as you get to compare them.
Of course, if you prefer this version, it's just a matter of choice. In the end, this is what this world is all about, right?

Summary: THE MOST SAMPLED ALBUM OF DJ's
Comment: Well if you are'nt familiar with this album by now I'd bet everything I own that you have at least heard either parts or samples from it. When I listen to todays pop culture music I often hear little tid bits of samples ripped directly off this album. If the artist don't directly rip the samples then they often try to simulate. Amazing to think that 27 years ago this album was released and still has the power to shape us. This album is so influential to modern music it has grounded a foundation for many genres and many more to come.

Summary: The blueprint for the sound of the 21st Century
Comment: If you don't own a copy of Computer World, your CD collection has a gaping hole in it. Computer World is the blueprint for the sound of the 21st century. When you hear fantastic futuristic electronic sounds on TV commercials, Movies, and even top 40 hits by Gwen Stefani + Justin Timberlake, you're hearing Computer World. If you enjoy modern electronic pop bands like Goldfrapp, Freezepop, PLiD, Komputer, Hyperbubble, Ladytron, Miss Kittin, Madonna, or just about any modern dance music, it's time you hear the sound in it's purest form. So program your home computer to beam yourself into the past, and hear what today sounds like.

Editorial Reviews:

When Kraftwerk released Computer World on an unsuspecting public back in 1981, the thought of Electronic music and computers taking over seemed like a farce. Now, a quarter of a century later, Kraftwerk's musical vision has come true tenfold and many Electronic bands cite them as their main influence. This classic slice of Kraftwerk's musical tapestry is an astounding album filled with bleeps, blips, beats and a huge dose of melody that inspired thousands of musicians and fans to go forth and multiply (literally). Tracks like 'Computer Love', 'Computer World' and 'It's More Fun To Compute' have been sampled by artists from all genres, especially Rap and R&B. The hit single 'Pocket Calculator' may seem like ancient material, lyrically, but most of the world now operate their own iPods, Blackberries, cell phones, etc. so the meaning is not lost. Even the ominous 'Numbers' still sound slightly creepy after all these years. So, what have we learned from Kraftwerk? Everything. Warner.
