I'm not saying this is the greatest album-closer of all-time, but.... this is the greatest album-closer of all-time.

I bought this album in Mexico City when I was only 13 and played it nonstop for the entire 2 weeks I was there. So grateful for the memories this album brought me.

Love this form of Ministry, mechanical yet nearly psychedelic

My little brother actually caught a vertebrae that all tore off of a steer skeleton mounted on wheels that Al was skating around on at the end of the show.We both felt pretty cool about him catching a "souvenir" from Al.He is up there with Jello Biafra in regards to staying true to form and always speaking the truth and not being afraid to speak his mind.

A joyful noise rising above the din of cultural decline. Beautiful. Never fails to put a lump in the throat.

Probably just about anyone who listens to ministry ❤️. We all only have a short time left on this place .

Reminds me of my days in college. I used to work out with this album blasting in the background. Pure focused energy. Awesome album.

This song is in my Top 10 of all time.

the percussion sounds like it was recorded in a room just big enough for the drum kit. fantastic and somehow liberating.

The album artwork attracted me to Filthpig, and the music delivered. Love this album from start to finish.

An interesting mix of hope and despair in this overlooked and often misunderstood album. It feels more personal and seems to tell a story more so than any other Ministry album. One of my favs for sure. I enjoy it more each time I listen.

Dang just discovered this song and I have been a fan for a long time I think I am in love again

[briansands]

One of Al's best. Oh yeah. This is the type of song that you merge onto the highway at speed on a glorious, sunny day. Car stereo on full blast, windows down.

[erniebubbert]

I love how this song is the closing of the album and how upbeat and positive and friendly it sounds compared to the rest of the album which is dark and heavy. It's basically like a happy ending to the story and theme of the album being like: "That wasn't so bad. Everything was tough and it really seemed impossible to get through but we did it somehow and it wasn't so bad. Everything's okay now." I always feels like this song foreshadows Al's recovery from drugs and alcohol in from this point on in 1996 during the Filth Pig era and because it's a uplifting closing song in contrast to the previous ending songs of the albums which are dark, sad, and scary (Abortive, Dream Song, and Corrosion) all of which were made before when he was struggling severely with addiction. But this closing track being not dark, scary or sad sounding signifies that everything is going to be ok.

One of the greatest songs written and this is one of the best covers ever! 👏🏽
