maybe Al is just bullshitting, and it’s going to be straight thrash metal again. I find it hard to believe that came out of his mouth "It’s just straight, wow, this is really good stuff. Like, let’s chew bubblegum and do these songs. It’s good. "
He’s still perfectly capable of doing completely non-metal songs. See “Viagra Culture” for instance.
that song? while i agree with your claim, that wasn’t a good example…
c’mon… think more ‘light pours out of me’… if it’s pop in that vein, with an edge, I won’t be dissatisfied!
I think Viagra Culture is a great example. It’s not metal in any way shape or form. Personally I love the track but even if you don’t dig it it’s hard to argue that it’s metal.
“Light Pours out of me” is a cover song and was also done in the Paul stages of the band so probably not the best example (also it’s pretty danged guitar heavy).
Great everybody working on this is shitfaced and drunk. No wonder things are half assed.
We all know about beer goggles, well i’m sure there is such a thing as beer hearingaids, (beeringaids?) or some such qitty euivalent. Would explain some of the musical output, like this christmas song.

You guys have gotta be kidding!
Seriously, the riff that comes in just after the halfway mark in Viagra Culture is so metal! Strip away the electronic samples, spoken word, and beat, it’s metal all the way!
Light pours out of me, however… strip away the guitar, or at least turn the distortion off, and it’s rock at it’s most, pop at it’s least.
I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Or battle to the death.
Ministry’s version of “The Light Pours Out Of Me” is crappy compared to Magazine’s original.
That being said i believe there is a tiny chance Al could surprise us with this “pop” album if it gets a release…on a label other than Thirtennth Planet[cool]
