  1. Songs such as "Unsung" showcase a reapplied talent for twisting archetypal metal riffs into new shapes.
  2. This is the throat-clutching Ministry that longtime fans have been waiting for: a grand mix of industrial rock and murder metal.

    One of their catchiest, most rewarding listening experiences to date.
  4. In a world gone mad, it's nice to know that some things--like Ministry's ability to tear up the floorboards with crushing efficiency--never change.

    Am I the only one here who thinks this LP is weak? Ministry's last good album was "Filth Pig", now they are only repeating themselves. Am I the only one here who thinks this LP is weak? Ministry's last good album was "Filth Pig", now they are only repeating themselves. No single new idea on this album. Regression. I'm old Ministry fan and still I want progression, not recycling old ideas. Full Review »

    Very interesting layout of time signatures that overlap.
