So much better than their self-titled debut.

The best WAotD so far, Faust is one of the greatest bands of all time.

It's not better than Faust, though, it's about as good as So Far and The Faust Tapes, I'd say, all four of them among the best albums from countries other than Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom or United States. No, wait, I mean, in the whole world Razz

I was fortunate enough to have seen Faust in a small tent at a festival last year - probably the best gig I've ever seen in 35 years. They ended their short set with a storming 'Krautrock'. This album just works from beginning to end. It's more conventional and less fun and anarchic than their debut but I wouldn't say better, just different.
