Ministry – The Squirrely Years Revisited [Cleopatra Records]

Al Jourgensen has a complicated relationship with his early work as Ministry, particularly the debut album With Sympathy, which he claims was forced upon him by Arista Records. He regards his discography as beginning with 1986’s Twitch, which, while also criticized, marked a shift toward the industrial-metal sound we know today.
