This review was just about identical to my thinking. Psalm 69 is a fucking classic, but they definitely lost it after that album. House Of The Mole and this album are fucking great, but not quite up the standard set back in 1992.

Great album, though.

Honestly, this album is very near to the pinnacle of Ministry. Very close to Psalm 69. The title track, Senor Peligro, Lieslieslies and Palestina are destined to become classics.

I can't wait till I see em on June 14.

Right, it's close, but not quite there, I don't think.

Awesome live band. I've seen them once, and i'll probably see them again this summer.

Shit, I still haven't heard this.

You need to.

And yes they're an amazing live band, I saw them while they were wallowing in the mire that was Animositisomnia and they still slayed.

Brilliant band. Agreed, this sounds the freshest they've been for ages.

Aaron sent me this and I even burned it.

They're even on Metal-Archives now, as they should have been all along.

Edit: But Killing Joke still aren't in. :(

This is pretty good. I didn't expect something this good, since Psalm 69 didn't really grab me back then.

All along? They started as a synthpop band! :lol:

Check out their stuff before The Land of Rape and Honey. The metal influences didn't really start to surface before Psalm 69.

Hmm... Might have something to do with the fact that Killing Joke aren't metal?

Killing Joke are awesome, though.

And oh yeah, Rio Grande Blood is a killer album.

They still should have been in before now. And if Ministry are in, KJ should definately be. HFTBOH is pretty damn heavy.

Best track - Ass Clown or Khyber Pass, although Lieslieslies comes close...
