Good review but I really do not like the album... I don't know if it's because If its because I dont support hate-groups or simply just the tone of it.

@Jacob - Yeah, it's classic Uncle Al, lol



@pillowhard - Well, I rated it a 3 mostly because it's better than Relapse. It's an average record for Ministry.

Oh. My bad, I'll fix that.



I thought people would be more into this, since it's more diverse than their latest stuff, but it appears to have a lower rating so far than Relapse. Weird.

You're talking to Sputnik insomniac, they don't like industrial tinged anything around here.



As for the diversity of this album, I love it. The slower riffs just take me back to the days when I first owned Psalm 69 and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Even "T.V. 4" is really fitting to the original. I love when Jourgensen does that staccato type of industrial metal and mixes it with his media driven samples. Really solid record!

Yeah, the TV songs are all funny and cool. This demented attitude is what I love most about Ministry. I've just found a copy of The Land Of Rape And Honey at a record store nearby. It's the original pressing, I love it.



Nine Inch Nails' latest record Hesitation Marks and Front Line Assembly's Echogenetic totally eclipsed From Beer To Eternity.

"You're talking to Sputnik insomniac, they don't like industrial tinged anything around here."

Sputnik worships Trent Reznor like a god, just look at the ratings of the NIN albums.

They worship his shittiest albums (With Teeth and so on). I don't feel his stuff from the early 90s is worshipped at all.

Dear sweet jesus, NIN's new album is an abysmal disgrace to music. It's not NIN, it's Reznor's faggy happy hour.

Right now I like Echogenetic a lot more.

Cool to have this and NIN on the front page.

Haven't been a fan of most of Ministry's stuff, glad this doesn't ruin anything for me. People like
industrial (even the older, original sound) but it's not a budding genre by any means, nor an
innovative one at present (other than a few groups).

Honestly it gets boring hearing the same beats and the like, I pretty much gave up on finding newer
artists.

Thanks Stranger.



@Acanthus - Yeah, most of the industrial bands I'm listening to have started in the 70s, 80s or the 90s. Those have perfectly shaped the genre. I'm not really accustomed to the new bands.

its painfully obvious that HM is miles better then this record, Al hasnt made anything listenable

since 03,04.



ok ill raise this a bit, not as horrible as i thought it was gonna be, not Dark Side or Psalm 69

great but a pretty solid release, surprisingly seeing how the last 3 albums were utter shit. The

lyrics for some of the more humorous songs are pretty funny as well (loving the 2 songs about Fox in

the middle of the album)

I have to say I enjoyed the Bush trilogy, not nearly as much as their 80s or 90s stuff, but it had some cool, demented songs. This record brings up some bits from everywhere, so it's a lot more fun. However, NIN's Hesitation Marks is better, no doubt about it. Still, FLA's Echogenetic is the best so far. (I have yet to truly delve into NIN's record)

^music wise I agree but his lyrics on Echogenetic are pretty shitty at times and just seem to get lost int he music or sound very cliche of Industrial bands. I think the best from the old guard thus far is a tie between Skinny Puppy's Weapon and NIN's new album

Yeah, Leeb sticks to the basics with his lyrics and delivery, but Reznor isn't far either. Music wise, both albums are really cool, but Echogenetic is a lot more layered. It's cool though that all these bands decided to release new music in 2013.

Yep. 2013 has been an amazing year for music so far. It'll be a tough vote for that that end of the year list.
