I had been looking forward to Jane's Addiction's new release but it got panned by the critics - seems they have lost their way. I'm always a little suspicious when bands go away then come back way later and release new stuff. I guess I sometimes think that they are doing it more because they ran out of cash then why they did it the first time (love of music, or whatever).
I didn't know Ministry and Seal were doing anything new (till I read your post) so I'll just get pumped up about that instead!
