What's playing on the stereo? - Page 26

The face of your CD will have a drawing on it, unless you got the 5th CD face, which looks like a blank CD with the band's name and album title scribbled on it.

This is the one created by Serj...

I got the one that's black and has gray drawing on it. Whatever one that is.

From what I've heard, SOAD put that album out after every song (mostly b-sides) was already available for d/l on the net; hence the name, "Steal This Album." I've also heard various reports (mostly from the different local radio DJs) that they didn't even plan to release it themselves, but the record company decided it would be a good idea to put something out around X-mas. You guys hear anything along these lines as well?

From interviews I've read, they only put out the CD because there were a bunch of downloads available and they thought the downloads sounded like crap. So they finished up some of the songs and stuck 'em on a CD. Here it is.

I heard the same thing Dave did...I didn't hear anything about Rick Rubin or Sony trying to push it (though I wouldn't be surprised). At least they're only charging $11 for it at Best Buy.

Dave, it sounds like you have the one done by John Dolmayan...it sorta looks like the Punisher logo.

02-06-2003, 07:26 PM

Yeah, I just looked. That's the one I've got.

elSicomoro · 02-08-2003, 02:07 AM

Ministry--Animositisomina: Not officially released in stores until Feb. 18th, but the whole album is currently available for listening in real audio on their brand spanking new website.

The verdict: Outstanding...easily their best record since 1992's Psalm 69. I can't wait to hear it on CD...now I just hope that the record stores will make the DVD-Audio version easily available.

Also in the player:

The Cure--Galore (The Singles: 1987-1997)

Radiohead--OK Computer

Miles Davis--Porgy and Bess

Moby--18

I forgot about this album. I shall play it today.

I love that CD...it firmly proves that the Cure are not some moody goth band...of course, they never really were. It's amazing how some people stretch the shit out of one album (Pornography).

tied to a stick...

New Ministry album in 4 days...whoohoo!!!

Warch, the Reverend Horton Heat is doing a 4-show stay in Minneapolis March 3-7 at 7th Street Entry. You really owe it to yourself to check it out.

Especially since the closest he's coming to here is Richmond and Pittsburgh, so I need someone to live through vicariously.

I've been listening to the new album online, as suggested. It doesn't have the joy and wonder for me that A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste STILL does, IMHO, but it does sound pretty cool.

(At last, you guys are talking about a damn band I've HEARD of. .... so this is that generation gap thing I used to hear tell about.

aaaah ... I'll just hobble off to my rocker and listen to my Cinderella albums.)

elSicomoro · 02-14-2003, 10:27 AM

Wow Wolf...a Ministry fan? I would have never thunk it.

I don't know if anything will come close to the glory days of the late 80s/early 90s, but given the last two CDs (which I thought were alright, but not great), it's a massive improvement.

Al's been getting quite a bit of press on VH1.com...I can't believe he was actually thinking of killing the band after the last album. Apparently, their role in the movie A.I. kept them going...and it doesn't hurt that Al kicked the smack either.

elSicomoro · 02-23-2003, 12:55 PM

Ministry--Animositisomina: Okay, finally got it on CD yesterday...and yes, it sounds fantastic.

And for the first time since their god-awful first release (which Dave owns), there are printed lyrics. Of course, you almost need a magnifying glass to read them, but they're there.

perth · 03-26-2003, 11:35 PM

neko case - blacklisted - so shes pigeon-holed as a 'country-artist', but, damn, this is good stuff.

they might be giants - no! - i could lie and say this is for my kid, but ive already confessed to liking the crash test dummies, so i might as well admit that i love this cd. i dont think its better than 'flood', or even 'apollo 18', but its a lot of fun and i urge everyone to buy/steal/pirate this cd asap.
