-
One of their catchiest, most rewarding listening experiences to date.
-
Alternative PressPacks enough bite to nourish a Third World country. [Mar 2003, p.96]
-
This is the throat-clutching Ministry that longtime fans have been waiting for: a grand mix of industrial rock and murder metal.
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe sustained ferocity on display here is admirable. [7 Mar 2003, p.72]
-

BlenderAt several points... the duo belatedly attempts to revivie its peak period formula, but... it's as old-fashioned as a Lollapalooza 1992 T-shirt. Fortunately, Jourgenson and Barker's new ideas are better. [#14, p.140]
-
Still dour and humorless, but pruned of its experimental tendencies, Ministry delivered its first solid record in a decade.
-
Effort isn't lacking, but inspiration is.
