(2004)"WAT" is an album by
Slovenia n industrial/techno music group Laibach, releasedSeptember 8 2003 .The CD included a bonus
video of "Tanz mit Laibach" and the vinyl LP and promo CD "Reject or Breed".While the topics referred to in many songs (religious intolerance, war, globalization) might suggest that the title is an acronym of "War Against Terror", it actually means "We Are Time" as the title track reveals - an ambiguity quite obviously intended, in typical Laibach fashion.
Moreover, in its lyrics, the album presents a roundabout rejection of the values and motives that have become more prominent since 2001, embracing instead freedom and power of the individual, the unity of humankind and an utopian globalism. "The point of WAT is not what Laibach is, or what it wants, but what you are and where you stand".
