The song selection is about what you would expect when mining the goldmine that is the catalog of classic rock. The album kicks off with The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb (feat. Burton C. Bell)." It takes the classic sounds and adds a healthy dose of distortion. From there we move onto a catchy take on the T. Rex classic "Bang a Gong." There is no way to avoid getting into the classic riff. Next up is Golden Earring and the road rock classic "Radar Love," a song which saw a resurgence in the late 80's thanks to a popular cover by White Lion.

Other highlights include a fast and furious version of "Black Betty" and zippy take on Mountain's "Mississippi Queen (feat. Tommy Victor)." However, the song that has the take the cake is ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid," which has been amped up, sped up, and churned into a death metal grind. Definitely a memorable and unique take on the rock hit.

Besides all of the new covers, there are a few that appeared on other albums. The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" appeared on The Last Sucker, Black Sabbath's "Supernaut" (credited to 1000 Homo DJs) was on the first Nativity in Black compilation, and Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" appeared on Filth Pig.

The album closes with "What A Wonderful World," where it takes on a direge-like tempo before kicking into a punk take for the second half. Now, the two versions are separated into their own hidden tracks on the end of the disk, which bring the album to total of 69. Track 23 is the mellow version; track 44 is the punk version, with plenty of silence in between.

Now, rest assured, there is a special surprise in track 69, and no it is not another song. It is one final F U to the Bush administration, in true Alien Jourgensen fashion.

Bottomline. Not really a good album, but there is no denying the fun that is contained within. Ministry completists will want it. Non-fans could use it as an introduction to the sound prior to journeying back to Psalm 69 or The Land of Rape and Honey. It is a party album, through and through. Yes, Ministry knows how to rock and leave the politics aside.

Recommended.
