Id like to offer a counterpoint to the very narrow review the previous poster gave. Jourgensens work since Psalm 69 has been incredible. Filth Pig completely revamped the bands sound, and in quite a few peoples opinions (mine included), stands as possibly their best LP. This release is no exception. The music is possibly the most raw and venemous material Al has composed. The political agenda behind the music is very spot-on. It seems to me that he has found a new youth and vitality in the post-Barker material. Its a horse of a different color, for sure, but its not different from their transition from synth pop to industrial dance, or from that to industrial metal into dark psychadelic metal into (now) thrash. Ministry, like Skinny Puppy, is great because you never get the same album twice.
