Review

It would be silly to expect some sort of crossover or sellout on Atari Teenage Riot's major-label debut, 60 Second Wipe Out. Instead, the group that introduced distorted breakbeat thrash to American/alternative audiences returned with an album of much the same. There is no lack of anarchist politics and hands-in-the-air shout-alongs, whose lyrics are pretty aptly summed up by the titles "Death of a President D.I.Y.!," "By Any Means Necessary," and "Revolution Action" (the latter was released as a trailer single, perhaps intentionally, on the same day the German legislature met in Berlin's Reichstag for the first time in over 50 years). Frontman Alec Empire's computer-thrash productions haven't taken any giant leaps in the two years since the previous ATR LP, though he does add bridges to a few songs, including the marathon five minutes of "Western Decay." Still, 60 Second Wipe Out has all of the ingredients fans could expect from their favorite anarcho-hardcore-electronica group. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

60 Second Wipe Out is the third and final album from the band Atari Teenage Riot. This album showcased a newer sound, as Nic Endo had now became a member of the band. Fewer samples were used. Although heavily electronic in sound, the album was recorded on live instruments, that were then fed back and digitally altered. It was mixed by Andy Wallace and features a variety of guest artists including Dino Cazares of Fear Factory, The Arsonists, and Kathleen Hanna. The album was also issued as a double CD which featured a live show from Philadelphia. Other versions also featured the B-side "Paranoid", and "No Remorse (I Wanna Die)" (featuring Slayer) from the Spawn soundtrack.

Empire recalls working on the record with producer Andy Wallace:

“ I think it is very important for my music that it comes unpolished and honest... it wouldn't really work any other way. I remember when I worked with Andy Wallace (Nirvana and Slayer etc) for the third ATR album that we did for [Elektra] Records in the US. I really wanted his input on the sound, but we ended up sounding like Chemical Brothers or something... So it became 85% me and 15% him at the end... It felt there was only this one way possible. ”

—Alec Empire, Neu! Magazine, February 2008[1]
