Hey this legitimately slaps.

Ministry is waaaay better when they’re just generically political with kooky sound bites vs. being overly anti-AmeriKKKa

Definitely way better than I expected it to be, a slight step above the already goodish Moral Hygiene.

Let’s hope Ministry actually stays retired this time so they can end on a semi-high note.

Who mixed this? Would be a lot better with a thicker bass and guitar tone. The current is way too light and buzzy.

Great songwriting though. Just Stop Oil is a banger (ignoring big Al's drivel).

Yeah the songs are alright, but it sounds a bit lightweight on the production front

The production could definitely have benefited from a punchier sound, and despite the overused AI I think there's some solid songwriting and decent moments. "Just Stop Oil" is definitely a stand-out for me so far but I think it's going to take further listening.

I'm confused.
Are you guys still talking about Al (Jourgensen), or has AI (with a capital "i") actually taken over his songwriting duties?

Good point, I should have actually pointed out that AI (artificial vocals/spoken words) have overtaken AI (Jourgensen) in the vocal department a tad too much here, making it sound a bit to synthetic my liking.

Kick ass album.

Time to change the Metal Storm font hehe

Some songs are enjoyable

This is actually my first Ministry album so I enjoyed the hell out of it. Their lyrics are as subtle as a sledgehammer.
