Reissue of the industrial outfit’s 1988, their first real commercial breakthrough (it reached #164 on the Billboard Top 200) after dabbling in synth pop during the beginning and middle of the ‘80s. Led by Al Jourgensen, this rougher, tougher almost metallic version of Ministry opened the doors for other industrial bands including Nine Inch Nails.

This is a brilliant hybrid of electronic music and conventional guitar-heavy rock. The first three tracks in particular pound out the overall method: furious, punk-metal guitars over slamming, machinelike rhythms. This release exemplifies Al Jourgensen's and Paul Barker's skill at producing remarkably creative musical aggression. "You Know What You Are" and the album's title track are fist-in-the-air electro-anthems upon first listen. But upon closer scrutiny, the songs reveal themselves to be works of complex sonic architecture, with components drawn from a wide variety of sources. The same is also true with "Flashback," a techno-punk foray into loosely controlled fury. --Mark McCleerey
