Skold - Anomie (2011)

It`s been 15 years since guitar god Tim Skold released his first album. In the interim heТs been busy garnering Grammy nominations with Marilyn Manson, keeping old school industrial rock flame with KMFDM, and inducting young talent into the world of guitar and recording tricks. Now, itТs time for Tim Skold`s second solo album "AnomieУ, which achieves all that wasn`t possible in his previous collaborations. The result is a diverse, absorbing LP full of love of the details, firing on all cylinders by the third song at the latest, as SKOLD leads us on a tour of rock`s many facets with a playful ease and believable depth. One has the impression that he truly loves what he does and thereТs something here for literally everyone, without it ever becoming tiresome for anyone: seldom does one come across such a stylistically diverse album that neverthe- ess sounds so monolithic!

"AnomieУ is a magnificent solo album, the kind that is only really possible to make with a completely free hand. Tim Skold has been active (and successful) for a long time, he has no need to curry anyoneТs favour or chase big halls or stadiums having rocked them to excess with Manson long ago this sets him free to pursue his own artistic goals.
