Erm…why is the Photoshop’d ‘Al Bond’ standing INSIDE of the gun barrel? Silly designer.

Did you do that yourself? Cleopatra needs to hire you.
My main problem with this release is that it’s the same stuff as the comp. that just came out. I don’t get it.
I think the only difference is that this is a limited edition vinyl release (500 copies). Still…new title/cover is a bit superfluous.
^ Yes, and that was less than two hours work for me, using license-free stock. They (Cleo? Al?) obviously had zero budget for art, otherwise they could have easily found an inexpensive free-lance designer (one that’s a fan, too), and spent less than $200. I’ve seen better bootleg artwork than what Cleo’s putting out.

Cleopatra artwork is shitty as a corporate policy.
Claus from Leaether Strip used to get pissed off because they’d put such garbage covers on their versions of his stuff.

That’s your MAIN problem?!?!
I can think of dozens of problems with this - the fact that it’s virtually the same as the comp is probably only number 14 or 15 on a list as long as my arm.
What a fucking joke this ‘band’ has become. I’m struggling to think of other instances where once credible artists have sunk so low. Not only is he whoring his old catalogue out by adding abhorrent dance beats into the mix but he’s re-re-re-releasing his fucking cover tunes.
Loser!!! Anyone who buys this needs to…ugghhh I give up!

Bang on.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse Al pulls another one out of the bag.
And it really does amaze me how a band who had such a gigantic impact (more than any other infact) on my love of music has become such a lame monstrosity?
I envy folk who loved Ministry and never bothered listening to them after DSOTS or Animositisomina.
Surely the story of Ministry can’t get any sadder than this??? Of course it can…infact it WILL.
Why are you doing this Al?
it really just reminds me of the last scene of Boogie Nights, when Burt Reynolds walks into the house.
people who were at the height of their glory, the height of their fame at one point crash…and all come together and accept that it just won’t get better, even though they try to convince themselves it will. and all living under the same roof in a decent house together after having a glorious mansion etc.
it’s just sad.

All my other problems are reserved for the Halloween album, since that’s where these songs appeared in the first place.
Ministry’s Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/ministrymusic) has been revamped with an Undercover theme, and no mention of Every Day Is Halloween: Greatest Tricks.
Amazon is now selling preorders for two CD editions with the Undercover packaging, one on Cleopatra (http://www.amazon.com/Co-conspirators-Undercover-Ministry/dp/B0043WBZKK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1286116120&sr=1-1) due out on December 7 and a UK import on Eastworld (http://www.amazon.com/Every-Day-Halloween-Greatest-Tricks/dp/B0041KOVIM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1286116120&sr=1-5) due out on October 12.
I would not be surprised if they have just abandoned the idea of releasing a CD with the Every Day Is Halloween: Greatest Tricks packaging (maybe because everyone hated it?), but we’ll find out on Tuesday.

Compared to the endless remixxx and cover albums, DSOTS and Animositawhatever seem like classics.
Those albums are classics already
I listened to the Rehab and Paint it Back covers.
The mixing and levels on it are fucked.
How can you, after all that pioneering work that set the standard for a lot of acts… churn out something which doesn’t just qualify as shit music, but is actually poorly produced.
I’m really starting to fucking wonder. [:/]
Because he’s going deaf.
When you listen to music at top volume in your youth because you think it’s badass, you lose all those high end frequencies. Whoops! Way to go badass! As a result, when you get old what you think sounds good sounds shitty to people without hearing damage.
The moral - don’t listen to music so fucking loud and wear earplugs to shows. This message brought to you by a 35 year old audio engineer with excellent hearing. Take that punk kids that called me a pussy when they saw me taking out my earplugs outside of some dive.

I guess that I’m fucked then.
Seriously [:/]
I’m trying to wear earplugs as much as possible, etc., but I don’t like my chances…
Fuck I feel stupid.
At least I perforated someone else’s ear drums along the way

Completely agree. I was at a concert Wednesday night and had no problem asking for ear plugs!
fuck that ringing in my ears for days sucks hard. I learned my lesson after ACDC. once was all it took!
Late,

Ha ha I don’t get ringing in my ears for days and I’ve been to some pretty loud concerts
