Sounds pretty industrial to me... why so much hate? (Back when the album was released)

[@laxiton]

I think because it was so different from the fast riffs and if I am not mistaken Barker was in prison at that time and not really part of it.. but maybe spiritually

[@deathtokoalasstub]

this is one of the better tracks on the disc. but, people were mostly irked by the guttural feel; if you're coming at it from the future, back, you might not notice it, but they were really a punk band at the time, and were seen as warping into the kind of metal band that much of their fan base cringed at. but it's not that it wasn't any specific aesthetic. people just felt it wasn't as _good_

[@korndud]

@@laxiton you are mistaken my friend! paul barker is the soul of ministry and he's credited in every single track on the album. his bass playing is unmistakable.

[@korndud]

this song sounds different because it originally intended to be a song from a side project with nivek ogre from skinny puppy. the original demo is out there somewhere.

[@korndud]

"In 1989, Ogre and Jourgensen started the side project W.E.L.T. (When Everyone Learns the Truth). Some material was recorded, but the only song they released was turned into Ministry's 1996 song "The Fall", from Filth Pig."
