28 years after this album came out, I'm slowly coming to realize that this just might be my favorite Ministry song 🖤🖤🖤

This riff makes me want to fight every element on the periodic table at the same time. Timeless….

One of Al's most ice cold barbed industrial metal deliveries right there. The riff! Ministry at their best.

Most fans like this album least, but it's definitely my favorite. Dead Guy, Reload and Useless are my favorite.

Another day, another knife in the back
It's happened so many times, I stopped tryin to keep track
You're stuck stickin' it in, you're stuck stickin' it in
Take it up to the hilt to cover up your own fuckin' guilt
And when the shit goes down you're out of places to hide
No time to ask could the motherfucker really survive
Get a load of this fuck, he's the dead guy

It's just a natural cut? you never fuckin' possessed
You lost control of my life you want control of the rest
You're always stickin' it in, you're always stickin' it in
You stuck it so many times you...
But when the shit comes down you're out of places to hide
Time to ask if you're alive or just pretend that you died
Just remember this fuck, I'm the dead guy

I'm the dead guy
Dead guy

By some distance the best Ministry album. A nice, heavy dose of sludge metal alongside the industrial. Perfect music for being miserable and addicted to drugs. This song always reminded me of a mix between Helmet and Scratch Acid. Fun times kids!

Love this album. All killer, no filler.

[chrisbroesky]

Hearing this on CD on an old skool home sound system really brings it out.

[emell]

The song is one badass breakdown after another

[alangreenwood]

I love this record record totally underrated

[nathanrodriguez]

Kind of amazing how brief Ministry were a new wave band, but how stuck on that particular sound many of their fans were. I like all eras of Ministry and never held a grudge against them for giving up the synths and fake british accent by this time. This album is one of my all-time favorites.

[pinanti]

Ministy at his best.

[mikewinslow]

Still such an underrated album! This track, filth pig, crumbs, the fall, reload, lay lady lay, lava and my personal fav brick windows. This should have done so much better.

[darkhearsttoys]

Best song on the album. I'm glad this album seems to go back to their Land of Rape and Honey sound.

[chrismagoon]

These guy's rock been listening to them for about ten years even better when you are stoned

[ryanleatigaga]

I'm glad Ministry made a song about my uncle Jimmy. Thanks guys!

[thomasfleischer]

Got nearly an eargasm because of the opening guitar riff!
Love those guys since decades!
