“‘Nein Nein Nein’ shows once again what this album is all about: expressing without holding back. Flirting with German in the refrain gives it an extra touch and makes it more appealing to the European audience. Again a song with real dance floor hit potential.” –Marija Buljeta, ALTvenger Magazine, UK, Nov. 14, 2016, www.altvenger.com/the-sweetest-condition-we-defy-oblivion-album-review/
“Songs like 'Nein Nein Nein' and 'Unforgiven' are such glorious electro monsters that they could easily dominate at a NIN gig, or any number of other EBM/Industrial gatherings.” –John Crofts, Brutal Resonance, Nov. 1, 2016, 9.5/10 stars, brutalresonance.com/review/the-sweetest-condition-we-defy-oblivion/
“Overall this is a gorgeous track. Two things come into my mind as I heard this song. First, if the German band ‘Rammstein‘ would have a female singer, I can imagine that it would sound similar to this track. Furthermore I was surprised how accurate Leslie Benson pronouncing the German chorus: ‘Ich will mehr, aber du sagst nein!’ Congrats!” –Thomas Frenken, Electrozombies, Germany, 3.9/5 Stars, Nov. 2, 2016, electrozombies.com/review/sweetest-condition-we-defy-oblivion/
You put your hands around my throat!
I close my eyes, and wait for the blow.
It doesn’t come; it’s getting close.
What makes you think, you’ve got control?
I put my fist right through your fucking nose!
You’re getting blood all over your clothes.
I can’t slow down. I’m on a roll.
You tell me to stop; I won’t let go.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr,
aber du sagst nein!
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr,
aber du sagst
nein, nein, nein!
Nein, nein, nein!
Nein, nein, nein!
Nein, nein, nein!
I push you down. You’re on the floor.
No, we’re not done, I want some more.
This won’t take long. You play your part.
I’m not the one who broke your heart.
I tie you up. You shut your mouth!
Now close your eyes; I’m heading South.
Look at what you’ve made me do!
I’m born again; your time is through.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr,
aber du sagst nein!
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr.
Ich will mehr,
aber du sagst
nein, nein, nein!

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2021

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
