Here’s a song they will never play, and have probably not played live for over 20 years: “Revenge”. It’s from their 1983 pop/new wave album “With Sympathy”. They burned the originals a few years later, and went into the industrial direction instead, ultimately becoming a hard metal-industrial fusion. So anyway, this video is very funny to a Ministry fan who hasn’t been exposed to their super-early stuff. So here it is, the best song from their worst album:

I must like New Wave then. :) Although I can see how coming at this style after being a fan of Ministry’s later stuff would be disappointing/shocking.
It works the other way around though. I liked Sneaker Pimp’s first album when they had a female singer. Then when the 2nd album came out and they had the guy singing, I hated it….. but I liked the 3rd album with them singing. So after that, I went back and listened to the 2nd album again… and loved it!
Music is subjective? What?!?!
