Back catalogue: All genres

Review: With the recent news that industrial legends Ministry would call it quits following one final full-length set for release in 2026, mastermind Al Jourgensen first aims to right some of his own projects' self-perceived wrongs on The Squirrely Years Revisited. As it wouldn't be until 1986's sophomore effort Twitch and 1988's legendary follow up The Land Of Rape & Honey that their abrasive style would truly take shape, their Depeche Mode-indebted synth-pop leaning debut LP With Sympathy is all but forgotten, even eschewed from live setlists by this point in their career. Initially bowing to label pressure to aim for more accessible songwriting as well as being pushed to sing with a more "English" cadence, this revisited collection largely consists of material originally featured on With Sympathy, along with re-recordings of the 1985 single '(Every Day Is) Halloween', and rarities such as 'Same Old Madness' and 'I'll Do Anything For You', with the intent, clarified by Jourgensen in an official statement as - "Since I hated my early stuff for decades, I decided to take ownership of it and do it right."
