I would probably rate this a bit less (85/100), but its still without a doubt a very good and solid album.

I rated it one higher than the review of Rio Grande Blood here, just to make the point that I thought it was a better album. I think it deserves a particularly high score anyways, considering that it's the last album from Ministry and that it's such a kickass piece of work.

I think of ratings in a vague way anyhow - > 80 = great, 70 - 80 = okay and < 70 = poor.

That's just nonsense!

I know! It's just how I shuffle them about in my head. The important thing's the words, anyways, I wouldn't use scores except that would mark me out as a Misha-esque hippy rebel.

I can't understand why we have a rating from 0 to 100 if 50 is not the average rate...

That seems logical, except I think it just leaves too huge of an area for "above average" albums. The school grades is more practical with 70 being average, except I would say that 80's can constitute great albums.

I haven´t listened to any Ministry except Hotrod but this record kicks ass a plenty. I´ve got to check out the rest!

The 1-100 is exponential so the grades are higher.

Why not stick with "How We Quote ?" ?

I dunno about this one. A great deal of it sounded exactly like Rio Grande to me.

Much of it was dull, and while it's all quite a bit better than say, Filth Pig, I didn't really like it that much.

Good album would prefer to hear a real drummer not a fan of drum machines sorry. I know the review says Joey Jordinson on drums but he isn't mentioned in booklet it only says about the drums being programmed and it sounds it.
