Notes

Tracks from 10 to 22 and 24 to 68 are 4 or 5 seconds long and silent.

Early pressing of the album has the song "No W" complete with Carmina Burana samples in it, and bonus track "Psalm 23" is a remixed version of "No W" itself, without the samples.
Later pressing has the remixed "No W" as first song and "Bloodlines" as bonus track. The Carmina Burana samples have disappeared from the CD, probably because of legal issues.

Review by donnacha Jan 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Without doubt, the best thing Ministry have done since "Psalm 69". It's not perfect, the first five songs are angry, fast and intense, but the rest of the album does, unfortunately, descend into the turgid guitar-heavy mess of their last few albums. But that's better than nothing. Who'd have thought that Paul Barker leaving would actually have improved the band?
