MABB v6.6.6

Best album since the Bush trilogy. Some songs go pretty old school, and I also hear a lot of killing joke vibes. Feeling this one way more than the last 2

Anyone give much of a shit?

i dunno, i got really bored like three or four tracks in. i had resolved to make my way through the full album but i quickly folded. nothing going on there songwriting as the backdrop to a one-nanometer-to-the-left-of-msnbc reading of contemporary politics is just a dreadfully dull and played out formula.

i'll grant you're probably right it's their best since the bush albums, but that isn't saying much

I think the last one I actually listened to was Rio grande blood. This band just doesn't have that it for me anymore.

I enjoy Ministry. I saw them live last year.

Although I like it now, this won't have staying power, and probably won't ever listen to it again

Isn't this supposed to be their last one?

I guess one more

We have one more new record coming out," Jourgensen said, referring to the album that will follow Hopiumforthemasses.

"And we're recruiting an old mate from the early days. Paul Barker is going to rejoin the band and we're going to record together and that will be our last one."

As Jourgensen put it, there isn't any dire reason for Ministry's conclusion. He just feels that after all these years, he feels satisfied with the creative evolution of the band, and is ready to put it gracefully to rest.

Think I read somewhere they were supposed to re-cord with sympathy too?

Being a band for ~40 years has to be exhausting. No shame in hanging it up.
