What we have here is a live album, and after all these years; through the highs and lows (quite literally on both counts), it is good to hear that Al can still put out a gig that packs a punch. Not just physically like a punch in the face, but also to critique the industry, politics, and just about anything else that pisses him off.
Now, for those readers who have not heard of Ministry, they are a band that in the late 80?s helped to shape and form Industrial Metal through the use of anything that gave them the sound needed (2 drummers? Synths? You got it.), all underpinned by an aggressive Metal backdrop unsurpassed at the time, usually punctuated with samples and dark imagery. Over the years the sound has moved closer to Thrash Metal, but still possessing that dark nature and use of electronics, whilst the guitars just make your ears bleed.
