Picked it up. Good shit. Very 90s waxtrax.

If anything, it goes to show what Paul did with his latest album is, everything after Filth Pig and all the way through to Animosity was majorly influenced by him.
I think that's why I don't like most of the latest Ministry albums, it missing Paul's special touch (House of the Mole is an exception).
While I lament that Paul split from Ministry, I'm kinda glad that he did.
He can continue making and releasing awesome music without any of the BS that he had to put up with while he was around Al.
His absence in Ministry is very notable. He's killing it with his post-ministry stuff though. Hopefully, he releases stuff more often.
I don't know. I heard the original version of that album (whatever that was, demo maybe?) and it was a HUGE letdown. Save a couple of decent songs (pretty much just the ones Chris sings on), it was pretty bland/generic. Hopefully the final album is better, but that demo's gonna need a lot of work to make a good-great album.
I know sound-wise they are different, but an artist can change sounds and still use the same moniker. I meant more like are there any differences personnel-wise, or are they both just Paul but utilizing different equipment/sounds? Regardless, all 3 albums are fantastic and I'll eat up anything Paul shits out at this point.
I think Rieflin drums on a few tracks though. It's definitely worth the listen if you're a fan. Only 7 bucks too.
As long as it isn't anything like Primitive Race I'll be happy.
I mean the amount of talent that worked on PM they should be ashamed that they released that album.
That was a huge disappointment after all the hype and teasing.
I'm not as afraid that Bells into Machines might follow the same path.
The E.P they released is pretty good.
Hopefully with the amount of time that they have taken to release the album means that they fully fleshed it out and it's decent.

Had the pleasure to meet Paul last night at the OHGR show in San Diego. Lead into Gold was one of the opening acts and I bumped into him at the merch booth. He was super friendly and signed my 12"
and I also bought some CDs from him too...good stuff!
Been on a Ministry kick lately and finally bought a copy of that Live Necronomicon vinyl off Bandcamp. I got the red edition. So stoked!
Paul walked past our table entering the venue and I called out "Paul Barker kicks ass", and he smiled and gestured. Recognized it as me when I met him at the merch booth. Great show.
I got a Perfect Pair CD and the Sun Behind The Sun LP from him, and he was kind enough to sign a bunch of my Ministry CD booklets - I asked him to choose and he picked Filth Pig, The Fall single and DSOTSpoon - was surprised and said he never sees that one. He wasn't going to sign Animosity but I asked nicely and told him I enjoyed a lot of it and he relented. Mentioned Al basically disowned the album and we had a good laugh agreeing that Al says "lots of things". Also got a pic. Great guy.
@NotoriousTIMP what is that Malekko cd? I saw it at the show and thought about grabbing it but I honestly have no idea what it is or what Paul does on it? Is it another solo thing? Does he sing?
Chris Connelly is on vocals. Its Paul, on bass and programming, Pete holstrom of the Dandy Warhols and Pete international airport on guitar, and Josh Holley (Malekko co owner) on synths and programming.
Look out for some remixes I may have coming from members of this band as well

3 tracks anyway...
This song is the shit. I can't get enough of it at the moment.
Just finished ripping the CD! (sorry im a few days behind!)
I will FINALLY be seeing Ministry live in December. Hopefully we get a setlist full of TLORAH since its the 30th ann.
doubtful. I saw them a few months back. while it was entertaining, they didnt cater to much of the old stuff. Hopefully its different for you.
I looked at recent set lists and you’ll be hard pressed to find much prior to Psalm 69, even then nothing really goes before Houses of the Mole.
Speaking of old Ministry, besides Live Necronomicon I bought recent vinyl presses of Psalm 69, The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste and The Land of Rape and Honey.
I’ll post some photos sometime.
