"This is an absolute waste of money. It is actually worse than the last Ministry album. A bunch of no name, no talent, death metal bands put a hack job on great music. I threw it out of the window of my car."

AWESOME!!!

A desecration of the Ministry name

"After hearing (and liking) tribute albums dedicated to NIN and Skinny Puppy, I foolishly shelled out for this, thinking "It's Ministry--where could they possibly go wrong?" Well, "Devilswork" somehow manages to take (most of) the band's good songs and dumb them down to the dregs of sub-Godsmack death-metal rubbish. A few covers from "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" ('Thieves,' 'Burning Inside,' 'Breathe') are acceptable, but still long shadows of their original selves. But for the few GOOD moments on this album, there are a lot of grating desecrations of songs, namely 'TV II' and 'The Game Show' (done in the vein of 'hey yo' Limp D1cksh1t). With any luck, the bands featured on this album will remain just as unknown for the rest of their 'careers' as they are now.note: there are at least 2 other Ministry tribute albums available on Invisible (and maybe Cleopatra), and are most likely better than this."
