    I really don't think Al hates "𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆" as he has been saying for all these years, just watch his concerts and performances during Ministry's synthpop era and you'll realize he truly enjoyed dancing and singing his first album.

      Yeah I've always thought that. How can anyone believe him, it's clear as day he enjoys and put a lot of work into the songs. He now claims industry producers wrote half the songs on that album and that he didn't even write them at all except for 3 or 4. In live footage, he's talented, dancing and full on into it, no doubt!

    I understand Al's negativity towards that album, given the creative pressures involved at that time for him. Most of us will listen to it in completely different circumstances. Personally, I really like it and can see the seeds within for what came later. I certainly would like to see a re-recorded version, in the later, stable, aggressive Ministry style. I think that would be the debut album it could / should have been, to reflect the band we all know!

    • @VuotoPneumaNN
      @VuotoPneumaNN 3 місяці тому

      There was no creative pressure. Watch any live video from that era: he played the songs exactly like they were on the album and appeared to thoroughly enjoy himself. Most of what he says in this video is probably false. Ministry never played LORAH or LORAH-type songs before With Sympathy, with the exception of 'Hezbollah'.

      None of this makes any sense. The way it sounds to me, he is saying he was playing Rape and Honey songs live prior to With Sympathy being released (he is completely leaving out the transition between the two periods which is Twitch). There are live videos on UA-cam of him playing With Sympathy tracks live around that time and appearing to not hate the songs. I think all of this is made up, the way he wanted it to happen not the way it actually did happen.

      I think Al was heavy into new wave but had other influences and wanted to experiment and go heavier. I think he felt he had to fabricate the story of being forced into doing the more synth style in order to make the new direction seem more legit. However, everyone knows the deal and him fully embracing Ministry's early work would have been great in the long run. Potentially leading to remixes and remasters, and a much broader potential set list.
