I’m reading a bit higher now "it’s objectively a great album." But objectively what? How can you say something like that? What is the standard that determines what is good and what is not objectively?

"The songs are beautiful and well played (less so live), they entertain, and have really cool melodic lines (much more in the first album)... and that's what matters... you're just engaging in sterile polemics." But damn, do I not have the freedom to find them instead insipid and meaningless? No polemics, oh, I think they suck, they bore me, I'm not interested.

it's very likely, and well, that I don't understand a damn thing. but the ff are trash.

I had downloaded their first CD and listened to the first 3 tracks. Garbage. I also took a chance on this one.

Your review is truly exemplary: for its conciseness, ability to synthesize, and content. With just a few well-chosen words, you convey exactly what this album is about. Well done.

Hello Odradek, obviously it's just my opinion, but I think that when Ministry reached *Psalm 69*, they had already said it all. Up to that point, they lined up one after the other: *Twitch*, *The Land of Rape and Honey*, *The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste*, and the aforementioned *Psalm 69*. Four extraordinary works. Really. And a continuous artistic evolution. It’s rare for groups/artists to manage to string together four such works one after another. After such a creative effort, the ideas started to run a bit dry. Not that they've made bad albums (perhaps *Dark Side of the Spoon* is...), and it's not fair to talk about a glaring artistic decline like those pretentious critics do; but they began to repeat themselves a bit, they flattened out on a predominantly thrash metal sound, and they bored us when they tried to step outside that groove. They became a metal band that makes metal albums, losing the originality that accompanied them for so many years; their sound stopped evolving.

well...

Hi ajeje, no, I didn't get the scene with the monster behind the wall, and I won't even try to figure it out ;-)

Anonymous, you're the same silly person who talks about something without having the faintest idea of what you're talking about. See you.

mmm, very clever the guy and the girl on the cover.
