Ministry

[Halo Infinity]

There's your indicator of what kind of album he's shitting out. And he released the Buck Satan album which isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. And here's the kicker - HE CAN ACTUALLY STILL SING!!! He needs to swallow his pride (what pride there is left) and make amends with the "book club" (barker, Connelly, and Rieflin. "clever" insult Al used to reference them).

I really wish that Al would do just that. I'm sure that's one of the huge reasons as to why I preferred both In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up and Sphinctour far more than Adios... Puta Madres. (Aside from the songs.) I just hope Ministry performs some songs from The Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste this time around. He just seemed to be more focused on Houses of the Mole, Rio Grande Blood and The Last Sucker. I actually liked those albums, but I still find myself preferring songs from Psalm 69 and Filth Pig live, along with every other album that came out before Psalm 69.

I'd also like to see if he might play any songs from Dark Side of the Spoon. Then again, I could understand how such requests might seem far fetched. I think Al even mentioned that the "Bush Triology" was among the most favorites of his works by far. And by the way, did Al also ignore playing anything from Animositisomina during the previous tour as well? I also made a mistake and noticed that Relapse is actually coming out on March 30, 2012. It's also interesting that you mentioned Al's singing. I completely agree with you there. I've liked his singing voice, especially in With Sympathy and Twitch. He's still got it. I also checked out the episodes for Relapse, and I suppose I'm just okay with what I've heard so far.

I'm partially not surprised that Ministry has returned either. Even when Ministry was supposedly "retired", he just didn't seem to go away with all the releases he put out after The Last Sucker.
