Well, let me take that back (up to a point): Obviously, you can't enjoy it because it's deliberately unlistenable on every level.
But it's also conceptually brilliant and hilarious, so fuck it.
Tomorrow: It's time for a great broad.

Wow. That was weird. I made it to 1:20...
Those wacky Slavs! Have you heard them go medieval on 'One After 909?' It's like Borat on PCP, with an Ollie Halsall solo.
I watched/listened to the whole thing; I couldn't look away.
If the Christian Devil were real, then this is what that song SHOULD sound like. So horrible and evil you can't stand it.
Laibach's an acquired taste, and there's no accounting for taste. Conceptually? You're right, Steve. Listenable? Again, right. I bought the CD when it first came out in 1989 or 1990 or so (on Restless, I think), and if you can believe it, there are 8 different versions of Sympathy on the CD, which makes the Sympathy For The Devil CD the exception to the practice-makes-perfect rule.
I checked YouTube, they also do covers of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "My Favorite Things". They actually make Shatner's covers sound profound.
