Album Notes
Personnel: Alien Jourgensen, John Bilberry (drum programming).
Billed by Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen as the band's final album, THE LAST SUCKER also rounds out the long-running industrial-metal group's anti-government trilogy, which also includes HOUSE OF THE MOLE and RIO GRANDE BLOOD. As on those outings, Ministry attacks the policies of the George W. Bush administration with a ferocity that is perfectly reflected in its searing, guitar-laden sound. Bolstered once again by guitarist Tommy Victor (Prong) and bassist Paul Raven (Killing Joke), the ensemble thrashes through the stinging "Let's Go" and a pummeling rendition of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues," and sets its sights on the Vice President with "The Dick Song," a lumbering number that features the tongue-in-cheek, yet pointed line "Cheney's got a gun." Like a pistols-blazing last stand in a Western movie, SUCKER finds Ministry unloading plenty of sonic ammo before riding off into the sunset.
Industry Reviews
[U]unremittingly intense, dipping into Ministry's past....The album works superbly as a dense and compact whole.
Featuring the same colossal line-up as RIO GRANDE BLOOD this easily ranks among their finest albums.
3 stars out of 5 -- Jourgensen can still pile on the jackhammer beats and clever samples.
