Frankly I wouldn't recommend any album after Paul Barker left in 2003/4, it all goes downhill after that..

I don't get everyone saying/insisting Al should stop doing what hes always done. I'm a fan from the early days and am not really into the more recent releases either, but...None of you have to pay any attention to what he's doing. If no one was interested - I doubt he would do it. Some out there are interested, and clearly, get enjoyment out of what he puts out, and he has the right to continue his career as an artist/musician. Why this bothers any of you is beyond me. Guess its cool to publicly trash those you once looked up to because he did what? Put out music you no longer liked? If you liked what he did up until year X, then be thankful for how it enhanced your life and move on to other things. All this bitching is beyond me - go live your life. Better yet - go put out "better" music instead of bitching about other artists output. Its fine to have opinions. I think a whole ton of music is total shit - and I have become disinterested in artists I was once in love with, but somehow I feel zero desire to go on a public forum where fans of said music may gather, and proclaim it to a bunch of strangers, never mind call for an artist to stop being an artist. Weird, that so many here feel so inclined.

Unfortunately Uncle Al went mad somewhere around 2012... While a big fan of even his then-recent work, I would consider anything starting from Relapse the work of another Ministry, one that sucks... How the mighty are fallen. :(

Uncle Al and crew continue to pump out albums and tour the world. AmeriKKKant and tour coming March 2018. Never stop, you can rest when you're dead. Ministry fan for life!

Well...
Al Jourgensen, one of my greatest musical heros of all time who once used to be a blessed songwriter, would definitely have been better off with finally staying retired.
Instead he's once again coming back with another pointless record and even penetrates us with another tour.
But it is just painful to see that old physical wreck crawling on stage and you sincerely hope that his nurse will show up soon and bring him to bed or at least someone would get him a weeled walker. And then you get frightened anytime the bowed old man is breaking safe contact to the microphone stand and tries to overcome the distance to where his glass of wine is standing.
Oh my...
Come on Al! Face it! Time is over!
You should seriously consider moving to a nice and safe nursing home. Sad but true.

And regarding the Relapse album, oh well....
There was some reviewer from the Quietus who summed it up pretty well actually:
"I skipped ahead, listened, shuddered, and skipped ahead again. Rather than waste words, I’ll just say that the remainder of the record is painted in various shades of worse."

Nuff said!

Best Band EVER!!! Al Jourgensen & Paul Baker gave to the Industrial and electronic music a sense of power & passion for music, together with Revco, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly & NiN....the rest is history...WAX TRAX!!!!

I will continue to recommend this band to new people just starting to listen to industrial. Even if the rock element is left-of-snob for the industrial crowd, Alain J. has the brashish vocals (great design on the vocals BTW), craziest, hardest drums you'll ever hear without being picky to the metal genre, and they're open to using samplers, synths, original freeflow time signatures and breaks. Pick up Psalm 69, Land Of Rape and Honey, or The Mind is a Beautiful Thing to Taste today...you'll get it.
