May 13, 2012Ministry and "Relapse" is a compilation of eleven industrial-metal songs that at times can be described as longueur. The whole CD is over an hour of music, but on the album stands out just a few compositions - such as two singles: "Double Tap", "99 Percenters" or the song "Git Up Get Out 'N Vote". The rest is decent, but it's all we can say about them.

Kerrang!Apr 26, 2012Relapse finds them wielding those familiar sledgehammer beats and streamlined thrash riffs in a most effective fashion. [7 Apr 2012, p.52]

Metal Hammer (UK)Apr 6, 2012Relapse is Ministry's most varied (and interesting) album in years. [May 2012, p.98]

Apr 5, 2012Relapse isn't their best work by far, but if you listen to it next to their genuinely great albums like Psalm 69 or The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste, it stands up better than the cranky metal/industrial establishment--who've been dissing it mercilessly--would have you believe.
