I like a lot of the stuff influenced by this more than Ministry itself (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, etc) but gotta give these dudes props as the ogs.

This is fun but not as good as Moving Pictures.

Rated 6/10

This is my first time hearing this record. The instrumentals are interesting but the vocals and songwriting feel a bit irritatingly lazy.

Some of these bests are interesting. Not bad for background music. Extremely New York, well captured by the Irishman. I really don’t understand the vitriol towards this album here. It’s quite melodic and musical as electronic music goes. A lot of critiques here seem to be stock objections to a genre rather than genuine consideration of a particular instance of it.

Y’know as someone who grew up in the 90s I had no idea “Candle In The Wind” was originally about Marilyn Monroe. Great tunes on here, but I don’t like it quite as much as Madman Across The Water and I can’t give 5 stars to a record with “Jamaican Jerk-Off” on it.

This is a band I really didn’t care for when they first came out. Trying to keep an open mind here. The first track is kinda cool. Second one not so much. From there it’s very meh. Like a pretentious Bruce Springsteen. The last track is closer to Neil Young and is probably the best tune.
