Editorial Reviews 3 Stars - Good - ...insidiously arty and intellectually sassy music... Rolling Stone
4 (out of 5) - ...On XTORT, the usual combination of turbulent dance beats, grating heavy metal riffs and shouted vocals gives way to the most accomplished set of songs to come from the KMFDM clique thus far... RIP (09/01/1996)
Included in AP's 10 Essential Industrial-Rock ALbums - ...features a rogues' gallery of guests who assist leader Sascha Konietzko in appropriating styles for his own synth-and-six-stringed empire... Alternative Press (11/01/1999)
...XTORT grooves with menacing force, spattering horns, female backing vocals, strings, and spoken words across an apocalyptic sound grid. At the same time, it's the heaviest and most danceable disc in their 12-year career. - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (07/12/1996)
