Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ministry's tenth studio album and the second installment in the band's anti-George W. Bush trilogy, positioned between 'Houses of the Mol茅' and 'The Last Sucker'. The record features a raw, thrash-oriented sound heavily influenced by contributions from Tommy Victor of Prong and the late Paul Raven of Killing Joke. Its lyrical content is overtly political, utilizing audio samples from speeches and news reports to critique the Bush administration and the Iraq War.
