Mar 4, 2024This is Ministry’s best record since we were all young and good-looking. [Apr 2024, p.78]

Mar 4, 2024A bit more focus on expanding the sound, might have created a more encompassing atmosphere at least. So, if you want a handful of new Ministry tunes to head bang to, you can find them here. If not, maybe next time.
