Few bands can mix electronic beats and heavy metal without failing miserably, but Ministry jam it out better than most. "What About Us" opens up this pandora's box as the band's first new song since 1999's Dark Side of the Spoon, and on "Just One Fix" from 1996's Psalm 69, Ministry sound similar to Rammstein's "Du Hast." Ministry have never been very recognized for their work, they are more of a slightly influential band, hailed by some musicians as the loudest and heaviest thing on earth. And quite possibly so--just listen to them with your stereo cranked up and prepare. "Supermanic Soul" is probably the defining Ministry song, if there was a soundtrack for the imprisoned minds of coma victims, any one of ministry's albums would fit the bill.
