You don’t see Jaz writing a fucking Xmas song about him.

Eh, Jaz probably thinks the CIA killed Raven because he knew to much about chemtrails over Area 51.

green death and carmangary have me cracking up with those song lyrics! I love it!
I actually look forward to hearing this song tomorrow, I need a good laugh.
So i’m guessing the proceeds are towards Raven’s family, or is that just
ridiculous to ask? I’m curious to hear this, as it’s likely a good hint as to what this solo material might be like.
yeah his 13th planet family
can’t wait for the official debut.
I hope it’s released soon…I don’t feel like staying up past 4am refreshing the myspace page just to be disappointed.
…I am way too hyped up for this song…
please don’t let me down again…
Alright just finished listening to it, it’s pretty decent…not halloween…but it’s good. Love the guitar. Al’s voice is pretty nice when he’s actually singing in it and not screaming. Sounds like good ol twitch Al.
I like it.
Reminds me of a poppy out take of something that coulda ended up on “spoon”

This could very well be Al’s redemption…
I decided to forego sleep to listen to this.
…
And guess what? This pisses me off.
[laugh]
While I dig the fact that Al is trading the thrash for a calmer, more subdued sound, one thought can’t help but incessantly wander the reptilian complex of my brain in light of all this Eighties throwback nonsense that everyone seems so caught up in:
Ministry is the new Interpol.
This could very well be Al’s redemption…
come now… we can’t say that… then we admit that he did something wrong… and what possibly could have al done to wrong us?
but to think, the big bad AL J of 80’s industrial, redeems himself from complete and utter mediocrity and self parody in the last quarter by writing a christmas song? wow it’s like a bing crosby type moment and shit, but without bowie… too bad connelly (next best thing) isn’t there to like, beatbox the drums.
lol, this is Coldplay meets A Flock of Seagulls.
Its listenable to a degree but in other ways its more Coldplay than A Flock of Seagulls which means its crap.
And I agree Al would be better off commissioning green death and carmangary to write his lyrics.
Wow, I’m shocked. I thought all the old schoolers would be swinging from this track. This really sounds like a return to form, at least from what he’s been putting out recently. This is far from a Christmas track. Oh well to each his own. I still dig it. I still stand by my statement too, that this feels like it coulda been a pop outtake that didn’t make dsots.

Yeah, it’s…not very good. I mean, it’s a nice gesture for Al to pay tribute, and it’s better than that dogshit hockey song. At least he’s staying consistent with the ‘everyday is a holiday’ song title. Mm mm bop mm bop bop

I don’t like it. Not hideous but I can image a dozen of other bands doing it better. It’s not innovative, it’s not distinctive (appart from AL’s voice which I thought would be much better)…
I just think Al’s lost his good taste, that’s always arguable of course. And also lost the edginess… it’s not defiant any more.

?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh dear. What has Al gone and done now? Leaves the room for a few minutes and then he goes away and slaps this trainwreck of a track together!! This guy won’t be happy til he sends us all loopy.
Grmpy…a DARK SIDE DEMO??? Are you nuts? Can you expalin to me how this jingly jangly piece of god awful fluff could possibly fit snugly on Dark Side? It’s awful!! Awful awful awful. Had me guffawing on the floor in fits of uncontrolled laughter. And that was even before the excrutiating caterwaul masquerading as lead vocals kicked in.
It’s official - this guy has NO talent. I don’t care what you say. How the fuck he ever made it in the music business is anyone’s guess. If I was a talent scout and a band sent me a demo like that Christmas Wank I just subjected myself to, I’d not only send it back to them in a block of cement, I’d send hired goons over to their collective houses to beat them senseless for wasting my time in the first place.
A Dark Side demo indeed!!!
Shame on you, Grmpy.
[:(]
If this was a song from a new band/act it would be deemed horrendous and discarded immediately. Al might think he can get away with it because he has three decades of music behind him.
Although I should be hesitant in writing off this solo stuff before the rest of it is out I’m still going to venture, with an acceptable level of confidence, that Al is well and truly past his sell by date.
Stick him in the nursing home. He’s finished.
Umm… I like it. Of course, I’m a sucker for 80’s pop.
wow, that is actually rather cool. reminds me of the mission or somesuch (for good reason lol). now i’m interested in his new album… why’s it still under the Ministry moniker though?
Reminds me of mid 80’s Cure with really crappy vocals (not that RS’s are anything to write home about)
Waiting for “It’s Always Christmas Dub” to be released. Hey, don’t blame him, the whole Dub remixes started back in Cold Life!
I quite like it. Very 80s goth pop but with screaming Al vox mixed in the background. Not exactly Fad Gadget or The The, it’s a lot more Ian McCulloch, but that’s not a bad thing IMO. It’s a Christmas song, so I don’t imagine I’ll listen to it all year around but I do find it pretty funny to hear Al singing “Merry Christmas”.
