Cool! Thanks for posting.
Nice write-up. I think that’s actually a Mingus sample on 10/10.
Listened to this album again more and more recently. I think it’s been a bit overrated around here now. Certainly interesting, but it’s got this antisocial vibe and kind of drags along…I no longer consider it their best album.
The experimentation is amazing, and the ideas are really cool, but it could have used some more hooks and less claustrophobia. I suppose that would have defeated the point…ah well, no longer my favorite, but a cool oddity of a record nonetheless!!

nice write up. just got around to finishing it.
In retrospect, this is still a terrible album.
My opinion, of course.
This album gets better every time I listen to it…

Terrible, terrible opinion.
Could’ve used a jam track somewhere in the middle of the album just to wake your ass up, cause the album gets really slow the deeper you get into it.
Still a great album imo. Took a few listens for it to grow on me. I hated it at first and it ended up collecting dust for a few years til i decided to give it a spin for the giggles.

Take 10/10 and throw it after Nursing Home. Move Bad Blood after Vex & Siolence. That kinda speeds it up a bit.
It’s fine the way it is you fuckers…[pirate][;)]

Yeah.
I’ll consider taking it personally . . . the day I figure out what you’re even saying.
First two ministry lp suck right along with dark side of the spoon…

Surely you must be kidding. I know you a at least own the Bad Blood single. If the rest of us all over the world want a physical copy, we’ll have to get the full blooded german import version…fuck you
All
