Title: the Sound of the End
Review: Ministry was a band that all my friends liked to some extent. I liked Ministry too, but never quite enough to become a fan. Hearing that Ministry was retiring made me want to see them on tour, but I didn't. It made me want to buy an album, but I didn't...until I found this one at a garage sale sticking out like a very sore thumb.For everyone feeling trapped in the shadow of 60s70s80s bluesrockpunkmetaltechno, this album was the jailbreak. This album was not the first or only one to sound Industrial, just as can be said about every album spotlighted as the standard bearer of a genre. Still, this album captured attention and that counts if you want to understand the late 20th century, the last days of popular music.Listen to this album and try to imagine yourself in 1988, when enjoying any audio/visual any time you wanted was a fantasy. Listen to an album that sounds like everything that has been or will be done with musicfinally reaching the factory, the meat grinder.
Is the review positive or negative?
