Reviews
- Edited 6 years agoMinistry at this early stage do provoke curiosity, but "With Sympathy" / "Work For Love" do sound a bit forced and calculated in the context of what Arista tried to make of them and where the group headed ever after... Musically this is a totally mixed bag, pleasantly confused somewhere between DAF ("She's Got a Cause"), Nitzer Ebb ("Effigy"), Material ("Here We Go"), Kajagoogoo ("Work For Love"), Colourbox ("What He Say") or early Culture Club to name a few (Ministry even went on tour with the latter at that early stage of their career).
Also insteresting to observe it as a record a certain Trent Reznor would have loved to have recorded years before NIN. What probably will continue to built its (cult) status is the stark contrast in which Ministry evolved from such a messed-up, mild electro-pop act into a powerful industrial-metal monster. Audibly hard to reconcile these two chapters of Al Jourgensen's career, and maybe that's one true element that urges listeners to revisit this album after being ignored for years. Jourgensen himself expressed his unconditional hate for this album, describing it as "abortion" - being pushed into recording it for commercial purposes only. From a time distance, both versions are deservedly revalued although 'Twelve Inch Singles 1981 - 84' and 'Twitch' are definitely the ideal starting points.
