I don’t know. But I’m guessing y’all will enjoy it more if he’d just STAY silent.
Egh, not me at least. I’ll end up giving it a shot either way and hope for the best. If he shells out another mediocre album, i’ll probably be saying that…until the next album.

Agreed.

Remember, he put this one together before his recent apparent collapse as a human being.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
Then again, I hated Relapse. We’ll see.
I’m past the point of optimism. Jourgensen is in the same category now that bands like Manson, Korn, and Limp Bizkit. My expectations are either low or completely nonexistent. Music that I can’t help but hear at least once. Nostalgic maybe. That’s how I view ministry now. At the very least, I’ll download it, and if I don’t like it, I’ll delete it. No money lost. And if I really like it, I’ll buy it.
I haven’t bought a ministry album since 04…

I disagree that Al is in the same category as those bands you mention…at least Al was once a force of nature…for me,those other bands were always do-do…If Al never puts out another thing or if he continues to turn out dog turds,at least he made some legendary fucking music that will live on…
That’s not what I meant. I’m not going to compare the bands from one another. The category I’m referring to are the bands who someone would listen to, but are dissatisfied or they’ve grown out of it. I just used them as an example because, like jourgensen, they probably haven’t put out anything to reLly care about. But you’re still curious to hear a new album despite your low expectations. It doesn’t have tl be those bands. That’s just my personal opinion. And old ministry was definitely better than their catalogues.

But that can refer to any band ever.
Personally, I haven’t grown out of Ministry’s older stuff. Not at all. But their new shit is infantile, so I never had the chance to grow out of it. It was garbage at birth.
I’m not counting the old stuff. I’m referring to the metal stuff we’ve been subjected to. The old stuff remains on it’s pedestal.
Check out this photo I found yesterday in LA Weekly. It was an article (I didn’t read it) about the annual goth gathering at Disneyland.
Hey, Look! It’s Al! He’s all decked out in his dapper best and excited to go ride the teacups with his lady friends.
Is that Bette Midler? And Florence Against The Machine?
Yeah, that’s Bette in the middle. I think the gal on the right is Kirsten Dunst.

Nice call on the Bette Midler…
I think they look like extras from “A Christmas Carol” or something. They should break out into song and dance and start doing a rousing Mary Poppins routine any moment.
From the official facebook: “Ministry: From Beer To Eternity in stores September 6, 2013”.
Maxi single - 3 track in June!
I smell one album version and two nearly identical dubstep remixes!
I don’t know. That’s typically the smart money wager, but we’ve not even yet seen a Relapse ReMiXXX, so I’m not so sure.
Anybody know if they’re gonna tour this album?
Late,

I’ve heard “no”.
But I’d bet if they get a good enough response to the album, they’ll tour. But I’d also bet it’ll be another mini-tour.
I don’t remember what interview it was, but Al mentioned that they would NOT be touring, but that they might do a couple special shows at a few select cities.
