MINISTRY - RANTOLOGY
Ministry "Rantology" Album Review
it's pretty decent
like all other fans, i was expecting something a little different. especially after hearing the 25-40second samples that were posted on the official ministry site. after hearing the album, its pretty good but not what one would expect. especially with the word "mix" added to the majority of the songs. but there is one thing about ministry that i've noticed thus far, they've never really have had what one would call a "traditional" remix...you know something along the lines of what nine inch nails, marilyn manson, depeche mode, rammstein, nocturne, fear factory...etc. it's more along the lines of a coal chamber remix, but with more differences. but its still pretty good.
the update mixes of "jesus built my hotrod" and "n.W.o" sound like 3 songs that crashed into each other and ended up with this weird amalgamation of all of 3 blended into 1. "n.W.o." sounds like the original mixed with the extended dance mix but minus the extra 3 minutes mixed with the new stuff. "jesus" is the original mixed with the "red line white line" version mixed with new stuff. it's interesting.
the new song "the great satan" is pretty good even adding a condolizza rice [sp?] sample at the beginning as opposed the bush samples you hear throughout it. "bloodlines" is pretty nice...not sure how to describe it except slow and forboding at the start and gets hard as it goes along.
all and all its not that bad, but it does make you wonder why no other songs were put here. especially the underrated "paisley" from the "escape from l.a." soundtrack or "tonight we murder" from the "demon knight" soundtrack. i also agree with the thought there should've been some different live songs, but its still all good. in the end, this collection is a bit like "greatest fits" minus the additions of "what about?", "so what (live)", "reload 12''", and "supernaut" and with retooled classics. still...i think its worth buying especially knowing what you getting into.

EINSTUERZENDE NEUBAUTEN - HALBER MENSCH
Einstuerzende Neubauten "Halber Mensch" Album Review
Psycho dance
First off this is the Neubauten approved release as you'll see from the Potomak label. It is very important that you know this as there have been dodgy dealings in the past that still happen as of today. Beware of the imitations as these will go directly to the record company and not the band. The record company or Stevo was a very corrupt man and took all the money while giving the band absolutely nothing. Hopefully this will not go on any further but beware of any dirty tricks that may sneak up on the unsuspecting buyer.
For those that are only just getting into Neubauten the above warning should kept in mind. You do want to support the artist don't you? Hell if you're not keen on CDs you can download at Neubauten's website....it might cost a little bit but.....it's better than buying from Stevo.
