[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I got an "advanced copy" too...

I like about half the songs,s ort of like the new Bad Brains album. But 
whereas on the Bad Brains LP it's the reggae numbers I skip past, here 
it's the tracks that delve too far into nu-metal that I don't like. Some 
folks say KJ have dipped treacherously into nu-metal but I don't think 
they really ever have, except for that stupid fucking KJ 2003 LP cover 
that looks like something some Korn/Twiztid bro would get tattooed on 
him. Ministry, however, do take that plunge on a few tracks on The Last 
Sucker. But some of it is just good Lard-style thrash.
