I just replayed “What About Us”, to remind myself of why I don’t like this song (I rarely listen to it):
Not to mention the fact that the lyrics are HORRID!!!
Can’t listen to that song without cringing.
Makes me think of that hideous movie too!!
i agree about bad lyrics and that the song is sorta dumb. but i like it sometimes.
but.
the treble nightmare started on filthpig and progressed bit by bit and peaked on animositisomina (beginning of piss, for example) and to some extent on houses and rio grande.
the monotonous screaming… that’s typical of ministry.
and at least what about us has a nice bassline (unlike some other boring examples i’m too lazy to provide now).
in the future, no one will ask why "what about us "was ever recorded.it was done for the movie. paul and max had a deadline.figure out what else came about . where was good old al and his current squeeze TY.
PREPARING FOR THE CLOSEUP,Mr. DeVille?
not the best ministry but certainly a typical page in the history. geez. i guess iAM writing my book.

Get industrious with Ministry on GREATEST FITS, a thirteen-track compilation of stand-outs from the group’s Sire and Warner Bros. years.
In reviewing this collection when it was first released in 2001, online magazine popmatters.com called Ministry, “the prodigal sons of smack-infused industrial metal.” That’s only part of the story - founded by front man Al Jourgensen, these iconic industrial music giants crushed industrial dance, scorching metal riffs, guitar assaults, synth fire-power, punk-flavored aggro and hard and heavy alt-rock into a signature sonic onslaught all their own. Reaching far beyond industrial’s cult core of fans, their music permanently raised the bar on the genre’s potential to reach a widespread audience.
When their 1995 album Filth Pig was released, Mojo described Ministry’s sound as, “sonic roadkill of heavy riffing industrial grooves and big beats.” That album is represented here with their blitzkrieg cover of Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay.” Pulling from other albums including The Land Of Rape And Honey, Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs and The Dark Side Of The Spoon, the collection’s supercharged barrage of Ministry’s best also features “The Land Of Rape And Honey,” “Jesus Built My Hotrod,” “Stigmata,” “N.W.O.” and a live version of “So What.” Highlights also include the album-opening “What About Us?,” featured in Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film Artificial Intelligence
Ah, so it’s just a re-release.
Has all the Sire stuff gone out of print now?
