Fuck it! I’m all in.
This song is super dope.
It’s aggressive, but also really groovy.
And I love that the harmonica is back.
I really like that it’s kinda hard to pinpoint what the mood even is.
Spooky? Depressive? A party jam? A wrestling promo song? All of the above?
I’m listening to it for my third time now and I think I’m liking it more with each listen.
Can’t wait for the full album.
I’d go so far as to sa y this is the coolest thing he’s done since the 90s
A lot of recycled elements, but it’s better than the last single.
That’s what I love about it!
It’s new and fresh, but loaded with little bits of Ministry nostalgia for the grumpy old boomer fans like me.
Had the album pre-ordered then not. (Whew)
Hard pass.
Should be called “recycled stuff”.
1st impressions are everything.
“It grows on you” = well, at least i got my name micro printed in the liner notes AND these cool pins ill have on ebay during the buyers regret phase.
Agreed…
It seems like they recycled the harmonica from “Filth Pig” again which was already re-sampled on “Twilight Zone”. To me, the themes feel a year late…the “fascists” in question having lost re-election by now I guess according to the political narrative?
Musically it’s kind of cool that it does throwback to some of the gloomier 90s stuff and then changes vibe. Lyrically it seems just as on the nose as all the recent stuff which I didn’t care for as much due to it being so blatant.
But ti did get stuck in my head!
Overall grade: C-
It’s very. . .meh. Just kind of generic.
I have actively avoided paying attention to any Ministry LYRICS for about 15 years now. It’s by far the least exciting and most retarded element of Ministry music nowadays.
I call bullshit. You are all about 99%ers lyrics and get up and get out and vote. 
Oh shit I gotta go listen…
I fucking LOVE that whole album.
Never has an album existed with such an immeasurably vast void of disconnect between brilliant musicianship/composition and the most banal of dialed-in cliche lyrics and themes. It’s amazing. Oh, and there were videos too, HAHAHA!!!’

No barker = no listenable ministry and actually kinda embarrassing as well.
One of THE hardest bands to remain loyal to at all.

I honestly can’t stop laughing. Ministry lyric videos do more harm than good in my opinion, and this is no exception. But the song is really cool and groovy. I’d no idea what any of the lyrics even were when I gave it my first review, but… the mystery is over. It’s banal and stupid (of course) but the catchiness and blatant sidedness of it is what cracks me up.
It comes across as a silly propaganda song to try and get the kids on board with whatever antifascist anarchy jibber jabber Al is selling today. The reason that’s funnier than it sounds, is because it totally reminds me of that SIMPSONS episode when the Navy used a poppy boy band to brainwash kids into enlisting into the NAVY. “YVAN EHT NIOJ!!!”
I like the new track…
Can’t say I feel the same way…I’ve enjoyed a good amount of post-Barker Ministry…even if some of it has been insipid I have found something to like on every post Barker release…and some albums I find to be pretty strong…that being said I don’t like any of it better than the Barker era stuff…

Pros:
- Drums sound like drums
- The guitar sou-nds better than on Amerikkkant, and the playing sounds more interesting
- Vocals are more in the front, on Amerikkkant they were too drowned out
- Samples are less cringey than on Amerikkkant (which had waaaaaaay to much Trump/publican for repeated listening)
Cons:
- The song goes absolutely nowhere
- No cord changes throughout the song makes everything just sound like a big bowl of soup where they just pile things into it to try to compensate for it
I know, these listed “cons” are true for about half of Ministry’s output EVER - but it’s time for the band to try and break away from this formula. I know they can do it, I have proof in my collection in the form of Relapse and FBTE.
The overall sound of Good Trouble is dangerously close to Amerikkant, which has now claimed the #1 spot on my Worst Ministry Album list. Hell, that album makes Last Sucker (#2 worst) sound like TMIATT in comparison. I hope and pray that Morale Hygiene will feature a few more “brave” tracks such as FBTE did, if not it will probably end up sounding like Amerikkant; a washing machine filled with mud with a slow spin cycle.
As an INTRO to an album, this track probably works. As a SINGLE… well…
While there is a variety to choose from, Relapse is easily the worst thing Jourgensen released. Just from the insipid, kindergarten level lyrics alone is enough. I was never able to listen to the whole thing without skipping. I only tried maybe twice and that was enough. Now? I just skip in entirety. Much better.

Sex-O-Olympico and Got Cock? wants a word with you. 
Funny how “everybody” thinks Relapse is the absolute bottom of the barrel. I think the music on that disc is great, and the lyrics are hilarious. I can’t help it, but screaming stuff like “I pissed away over 10 million dollars / On dope and crack / I passed away deader than a doorknob / But now I’m back” over a track which on its own totally kicks ass is funny as hell!
