New Wave making a comeback to mainstream!

[@AnnexIptaru]

A harder-edged remake of With Sympathy would be one of the albums of the century.

[@HeartFeltGesture]

Totally, this track is a good example to that effect. This version is amazing. Great crowd participation song, "WORK!" everyone knows that love dont come easy...

[@mbdisenourbanoyarquitectur730]

Make Ministry synth-pop again!

[@flowerchild89]

[@SyntheticFilms]

You’re welcome!! Waited 4 decades for this. 🖤🌹🎹🥀

[@lindaCB25]

Thank you for re-doing your '80's music. That music will always be amazing, with you as the singer.
And the goth ladies; so cute.🎶✨️🎉

[@ash23neuro]

Hell has frozen!

[@lazyatom]

This is just so... unbelievable! Finally, Uncle Al gives his earlier work the recognition it deserves. Incredible. Check out that funky choonage.

[@GamingPusheen835YT]

One of the best songs ever!

[@syn-magazin242]

I miss Als guitar with the Front 242 Sticker! 😊😊😊

[@xenopsyborg]

So glad this happened, I was searching trying to see if I could find a post-industrial Ministry performing this song live. I'm glad he is now! It will be a big hit again!

[@puddlemaniac]

I can't LOVE this enough!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap batman... Al is really doing it!

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

[@kevinhunter3412]

WiW ! Shocked Uncle All played the old original stuff I also Love !? Thanx A lot for this !!!

[@foxyforest4550]

I hope one time they'll also play I Wanted To Tell Her. With this backing vocalists it could be very close version to 1983-84 live versions

[@kbyrd169]

[@xenopsyborg]

I love seeing a full goth band doing this funky track live, omg!

[@flowerchild89]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@KontrolStyle]

ty for all the tracks, cheers.

[@AnnLippert1]

is it weird that the ladies playing on stage were probably not even BORN in 1984?

[@seikou1762]

I NEED the studio verion of this one..

[@jiggrinder]

Wow

[@frankhajdu6839]

What an absolute fucking joy. Turns out happy Al is pretty damn good Al.

[@crazyguy143421]

Work for love? What does he think this is? 1984? Jk, this is a wonderful surprise ❤️😭

[@gestell]

When he recorded this he went by Alain and wore parachute pants fyi.

[@christopherperez1982]

Rad

[@MetalskiMetalski]

😮😮😮

[@theshiv5288]

The chicks on strings are enhancing nothing and his vocals sound better with less effects added. Still one of the best albums ever made.

[@morganstanley6655]

Think, this enter and mix with NWO on the same time....killer!

[@ВладимирДубровин-э4ф]

There's no nwo

[@BruceBowman42]

Awesome and Dave Navarro makes it even more awesome.

[@taintedlife2618]

I see they still dead dreadful projections instead of just making it easier for everyone to see if they were far away.
