"Like all great instrumental music, Also Sprach Zarathustra could find a home in any number of artistic venues. Hell, even a nighttime walk would be made more intense and contemplative with Laibach's latest. Walking around a city at dusk while hearing Nietzschean philosophy delivered in robotic monotone, with doomy strings and shiver-inducing electronic pulses forming a tense background, one can easily transform a late day stroll into space for dark meditation".

". Also Sprach Zarathustra is an intense experience, but not at all in the way one might expect from Laibach. It's spacious and fluid rather than rock-solid and rigid, but every sound and movement feels entirely deliberate. Nearly 40 years after their formation, Laibach remain innovators, and Also Sprach Zarathustra is easily one of their best works. Absolutely glorious".

"This is Laibach at their most stentorian and intense, and it might even be their magnum opus ... Laibach seize every opportunity on Also Sprach Zarathustra to bring out the grandiose psychodrama and tension inherent in a founding tract of modern philosophy, rendering what could have been merely bombastic and brutal as spectacular and even sublime. It might not be greatest present that has ever been made to humanity, but it is a resoundingly impressive feat".
