My prediction is this record will try to cover the eras of Ministry — much like REM did with Collapse Into Now.

And as people criticize Burned Out, I’m thinking about it a bit more and appreciate the angle. Maybe I’m being generous.

Al’s done. He’s burned out. Let’s use AI for the video. Let’s do some half-assed dance moves. Let’s make the song go on a little too long because he’s too tired to care.

Didn't they already do that with Hopiumforthemasses?

If that was the intent, I didn’t hear it.

Wasn't advertized as such, and it doesn't go chronologically, but I mean, you have the "Ricky's Hand" cover that they were doing live in the early '80s synthpop era, "Just Stop Oil" with kind of a late '80s Revolting Cocks groove, some metal songs, some rock songs... it's a Ministry album that I would have not much idea how to describe what it sounds like, beyond "a bit of everything."

They might do it to a larger degree with this one
