WTF?![3] is the seventeenth studio album by industrial rock band KMFDM. It was released on April 26, 2011.[1][4]

History

The song "Rebels in Kontrol" was made available on the band's website in December as a show of support for Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange, and was streamed more than 75,000 times in two days.[3] The album's first single, "Krank", was released March 8, 2011,[4] and debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard Singles Chart.[5] The song "Panzerfaust" marks the first time the band has written a song with Italian lyrics,[6] and is a remake of "Liebeslied" from the band's 1990 album Naïve.[7] The song "Death and Burial of C.R." is lyrically based on the English nursery rhyme "Who Killed Cock Robin".[8]

Cover art

The concept for the album cover was conceived jointly by band leader Sascha Konietzko and longtime band associate and cover artist Aidan "Brute!" Hughes.[9] Hughes stated that he achieved a look similar to the angelic look of Renaissance paintings of the Madonna with the artwork.[9]
