Beholden to the rubbery overdrive David Sardy pushed through, Barkmarket, and various ’90s production work with Quicksand, Orange 9 MM, and Cop Shoot Cop.
Snoop Dogg’s slaughter of “I Walk the Line” is unforgivable. Other remixes are cool, simply because they’re left alone, just beats and flourishes added.
Edlund’s voice has gotten deeper, as well as more snarling. Three years in Greece has done him well. Many good songs on many good albums, the bar is set high.
Royal Bliss might get stuck with the “passionate rock” tag, like Hinder and other embarrassments. Closer “I Was Drunk” I’ve now listened to going on 20 times.
They’re supposed to be funny & wild, and push the limitations of the members’ main gigs. But this is just more mediocre Ministry, and that’s Ministry’s job.
Ridiculously rhythmic throb full of great songs and boiled over energy surge. The innerlocked double drummers and meshed guitars work like a big pumping heart.
Quality ka-chunk death grrr with, well, pussy singing. Nice melodies, the guy can hit the notes, but there’s still an emoish whine to the meaningfulness of it.
