1 zippo lighter - i don’t smoke
-
1 metal flask - that is kinda cool
-
1 cd - still up for debate
grump? you in?
I don’t smoke either, but I’d totally carry around a Ministry zippo.
Eh, it probably has the fat vomiting guy from the CD cover printed on it.
does anyone else think a vinyl version of any of the last 3 (and pending 4th) records is completely unnecessary ?
there’s no low end on these albums at all.
like vinyl provides more low end
only advantage of vinyl versions nowadays is that for some reason they are not over-compressed to shit (brickwall) like the cd releases
I like to put vinyl albums on my office wall.
Not Relapse, though. I’d be embarrassed to have that cover seen anywhere in my house.
Yeah I have a wall like that in my house as well. Jesu is great for that. This album cover would be look good in my bathroom next to the picture of george bush I stare at while I poop.

Not for 100 bucks. Unless I get a bonus or something.

the esoteric, experimental, amazing Ministry legacy that we are all familiar with and that Al created with Paul Barker.
please put that in your review.
Al can do a double album called ‘Omit Romney’ !!!
this really does deserve more credit.
So, if I was a reviewer I couldn’t say “THIS NEW MINISTRY SUCKS!” because it would be unfair to those who like that sort of thing.
why is having an opinion that may differ from somebody else unfair?
It isn’t the magazines or the reviewers fault that every person reading their review has different tastes.
If everyone has different tastes why can’t a music reviewer be honest with his own?

I can’t say anything about the actual album until I hear it, but regarding the limited edition “Fanbox” . . .
SWEET!!
I probably won’t buy it, but this is the kind of limited edition stuff that is actually worth paying money for. I crapped all over the stupid $30 singles (in flat paper sleeves) and ultra Buck Santa releases of the same thing with some retarded 50 cent non-branded Santa hat. But this is something substantial, exclusive, and . . . Yes, I’m going on a limb here, COOL. Most importantly, though, is that people can opt to by the regular Joe Blow release, or if they need something more decadent to feel that intimate connection with the band, well they can get that as well, or instead.
Thank you for listening to the constructive critIcism of geniuses like myself, Al. I’Ll let you know if the album sucks or not as soon as I get it.
Sometimes vegans tell me “This tofurkey tastes better than turkey!” or “These soy chips are so much better than beef jerky!” or some other statement of ridiculousness. I always tell them, “You don’t eat meat so your opinions on food are invalid and any statement comparing something to meat is meaningless and irrational. Go back to your mung beans and leave me alone, Hippie!”

It would be like a someone who prefers tea to coffee giving their opinion of how Folgers coffee tastes. It would be a waste of my time to read their review if they gave their biased opinion. On the other hand, if they attempted to give unbiased review, based the measurable qualities of the coffee it would at least be fair, although probably nothing but fluff… which is basically what any review of subjective matter from someone outside of the circle of enjoyment tends to be.[/reply]
Fair enough.
