"Rehab" by Ministry

 


I was excited to hear that Chicago industrial pioneers Ministry redid Amy Winehouse's song about resistance to seeking professional help in overcoming alcoholism.

I was expecting one of their slower, heavier, wah-wah and distortion laden tracks.

Instead, I was met with a sonic assault of rockabilly guitar and drums played at whiplash inducing speeds.

As a fan of Ministry, I'd love to say that it worked.  

But, not really.  It's kind of a mess.

In fact, I'd have trouble leaving a better review than the belch at the end of the recording.
