Customer Reviews:

this is the anthem.......2007-03-20

thank you amazon for helping me find this after all these years. this is some intense $h!+ despite some production values and EQ of the late 80's sounding a bit dated, the music rings true and the lyric just cuts to the quick. this one album alone is worth the entire rest of the ministry catalogue, and no ian mckaye/fugazi fan should be without it either. NIN and industrial fans should have it also.

Your cd player will thank you........2006-03-16

This is the album I pull out and lend to friends when it seems like they need some unexpected joy in their lives. The music here is EXACTLY what you'd expect from an Ian McKaye and Al Jourgeson duo. You can immediately pick out their respective offerings. Very distinct, very individual. And yet it's something entirely new. Think peanut butter and jelly. Both their own thing by their own rights, but together, they form perfection.

And, I almost never use sexual terms when describing music, but this is one of the few times that I do. "I Will Refuse" is simply ORGASMIC.

this had to grow on me.......2006-03-02

i bought this a while ago and really wasn't into it, but i've been getting more and more into lately. part of the reason why i gave it a second chance is because ian is absolutely my favorite vocalist ever. he's not the best vocalist ever, but he's f***ing awesome.

anyway, into the review part of this. this is super monotonous, but in a really good foot tapping sort of way. i was never very into ministry and i think that this sounds nothing at all like anything al has ever done. this is definately a complete about face for ian.

"man should surrender" absolutely had to have been the groundwork for QOTSA's "feel good hit of the summer" and there is nothing wrong with that as both songs are pretty damn good.

for anyone that is a fan of embrace, fugazi, ministry, queens of the stone age, etc.

it's definately not the best thing in the world, but if you let it grow on you you'll find yourself bringing it with you in the car all the time.

Fugazi vs Ministry.......2005-11-08

When Ian Mckay says "I'm F**kin' Ready!" at the beginning of I Will Refuse you can almost picture a slugfest in the studio where this was recorded. While I'm sure that there was no animosity between Mr McKay and Mr Jorgenson, the tension on the recording is thick enough to cut with a knife. These two are in full power on this album. Politically charged and never at a loss for good musical ideas. The fact that it is too short only makes it better; it leaves you wanting more. It is a must for any Underground/Indusrial library.

Don't Stand in Line contains the code for success in modern culture.

I'm just a voice.......2005-11-07

On paper, this sounds like a great idea, and indeed "Anthem" and "Ballad" fulfill this collaboration's potential. A few of the tracks ("Man Should Surrender" especially) have not aged so well. They have a clinical industrial feel that could have benefitted from a more organic approach.
