I kinda dig the music, but when he starts barking “it’s always Christmas” or “merry Christmas,” it does become a tiny bit hilarious.
Also, people are right:

Haha, you’re right. Interesting thing. Play the two simultaneously, it’s creepy.
I do find it pretty funny to hear Al singing “Merry Christmas”.
Idon’t hear Al saying “merry christmas” anywhere in here.
The first verse and chorus sound like this to me:
been dropping bombs again
and I do it in your name
All the racial commentries(commentaries)
infect the sound I reaped
?But an egg and buttered toast
and the smell of Sunday roast?
Kick the ass of Uncle Sam
Oh to be an Englishman
In the wee december morning
when we’ve known each other best
Me X4
In the wee december morning
when we’ve known each other best
Whose gonna hear our mourning
everywhere I see your…
Face X8
I can see the DSOTS reference… had that gloomy kinda feel. But since I don’t like DSOTS…
I’m not sure how to react to this yet. I’m pleased that it’s not balls out thrash, but I’m not sure about the sappy-ness to it…
But it is better (not by much) than that hockey song.
ps. blackhawks suck =)
Just listened again, still like the track quite a bit. Look forward to hearing it in full high quality glory.
Near the end, though, Al definitely sings “Merry Christmas X3 It’s Always Christmas”

Glad someone else can hear this as well. Yeah I think it’s the gloominess of it.

Alright, I’ll listen for it again. I’ve been listening to this on repeat nonstop (Pulled an flv rip that I converted to mp3). I really dig this track as well and am also looking forward to the high quality release.

Hang on.
Those are the lyrics to Killing Joke’s ‘Seeing Red’ off the last self titled album?!?!?
And Al ‘wrote’ this??
HA! I’ve been really digging on the tribute to paul raven thinking it was the christmas song!
seeing Red is a bad ass song! I’m not familiar with Killing Jokes Catalogue but I’m gonna be.
the Christmas song… Meh, it’s ok, I guess and you’re right, peligro, is no where near dsots.

[reply]meh. and it’s almost 6 minutes. oh boy.
Since when is 4:15 “almost 6 minutes”?[/reply]
4 minutes of post-Barker Al is like an hour of torture to anyone with ears

I think Grump was joking there. Those are the lyrics to Seeing Red, but they aren’t even close to the lyrics for the new Ministry song. I may try to transcribe if I get a chance. Definitely has it’s share of “Merry Christmas” and “It’s Always Christmastime” in there.
This is worse than Hitler. I especially hate how I was forced to listen to it.
Prongs in a nutshell.
[laugh]
I don’t mind it, I can kinda see where your coming from re: outtake Grmpy, the Vocals for some reason made me think the same thing, Filth Piggy. No idea why, as it wouldn’t fit in around that era,(96-99) but still made me think of it.
Pretty cheesy… but so was WS…
lyrics…here it goes…
It’s Always Christmas Time
Gone spending my life
(Gone spending my life?)
just chasing my tail
(just chasing my tail)
I was an angry man
(I was an angry man)
Don’t ever hurt life …?
I’ve never known?
I never laaaaaaaaaaaahhhh?
It’s always Christmas time!
I wasted my time
(I wasted my time)
Just running round in circles
(Just running round in circles)
but all the things I can’t remember?
but now it’s December
Well I say,
Merry Christmas
It’s always Christmas
It’s always Christmas time
yeah yoooo
go away?
to everyone?
to my family?
to my neighbors?
to the world
to the universe

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!
He’s going to release the dub next week, going to have another band go out under Al’s name and play it live on tour. Just that one song…oh and the last dubber played live too. The Christmas dub is going to be speed metal, and Als going to say his own record company made him do synthpop.
Kinda gives me a Jesus and Mary Chain vibe… But of course, it sounds and seems highly likely he lifted it from Flock of Seagulls though… It’s an interesting change of pace though. But it seems like no matter what he does, he’ll always scream, one way or another.
gave it a listen… something in my head changed the words from it’s merry christmas to “midlife crisis” and the song took on a hell on a different appeal

The screaming kinda ruins it honestly…if he wasn’t screaming I’d probably think the song was great. But it’s just decent.
The song is GREAT hands down…The music is some of the best instrument work in a LONG time… it sounds like love and rockets to me…AL could of wrote more lyrics for the track…But all in all a great song im glad AL is showing his talent again instead of just screaming to a bunch of noise…Great job AL looking forward to the whole album…[:)]
Thanks Mrs Jay!
Say hi to the kids for me.
Hope rehab wasn’t too hard.
Regards.
Alright well, I got a recording done…if anyone missed it, it’s on my youtube.
