I think Al grew really bitter about not blowing up like other similar early 80s synth pop bands like Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, etc. And in his defense, early Ministry was just as angsty and catchy as any of those other similar bands in the early 80s, and by all rights probably should have been more popular than they were. But, in the end, I think it was a blessing in disguise... because that gave us the angry, chugging, industrial Ministry we all know and love now :)
Naw, I think he always wanted to hard stuff. Here’s him in an old band tearing it up on guitar in 1980: ruclips.net/video/U5cfVheM8bo/видео.html And the same year as this song he co-wrote and played guitar on this Iggy Pop jam “fire engine”: ruclips.net/video/1135wTjZ_Ec/видео.html I think he always wanted to do hard stuff, just had to work himself up and do the BS first.
Nah they turned hard but not hateful. They woke up and saw the bureaucracy in corporate music. Well and the bullshit in the world that's even more prevalent today.

I don't care what Al says, Ministry's "With Sympathy" was and still is, a sick album . It has stood the test of time. That says a fucking lot!!! Something had to come before their other music, which was spawned out of this experimental phase (even though Al said the label they were on dictated a lot of it.) Still fucking sickkkkk.

Wut? All of a sudden, I found myself in love with my eyeliner and British Accent So there was only one thing that I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long
Thank you for sharing this! I love and appreciate all expressions of Al and Ministry. Though my Ministry intro was the release for The Land Of Rape And Honey. I was aware of With Sympathy as an album title, but vague awareness of their sound for that album and Twitch. I think I was too enthralled with Duran Duran at the time for Ministry to be fully on the radar of my young grade school ears. Too many New Wave bands, both Brit and US, to get into. I love the synth pop days of Ministry and the industrial. 😊💙🖤✨
Such a different sound, i get why fans hate it. Ministry has such a diverse catalogue meandered though so many styles I'm lucky enough to dig all of. Still i can barely believe this is them, but I'm with it.
I just found this and still trying to figure this out is this the same ministry i'm thinking of? it's excellent and if i ever heard somewhere, i would never relate this to the industrial rock ministry i know. 🤔
Literally non of you hit the nail on the head ( except one). This was a stellar effort for that time. I saw this tour, and the twitch tour.. not sure would be considered a tour. 100 people at The Channel - Boston both years. In 1983/4 no hardcore, barely punk, no industrial was mainstream, he brought back industrial (3rd album) since it had died in Germany in the late 70s. None of this was on mainstream radio or mtv at all. Like never, never ever. This wasn't pop, it wasn't popular. College stations were it for actual industrial which ministry was not. And it wasn't called industrial, it was called experimental. And this wasn't goth it was death rock. Goth as a term was only used in England to describe people not music. Exhausting.
I get the feeling a lot of people listening to this today had not even been born yet in 1983. From what I recall (yes, I am that old), what we now label "Synth-Pop" WAS Alternative. But this was decidedly not popular. In the small rural American town where I spent my teen-age years just owning this cassette could probably earn you a beating.😂🤣
I was fifteen when this was released, we called it 'New Wave.' This was long before labels started adding exponents and the footnotes became more exhaustive than the simple narrative itself. I don't consider this New Wave now...
Correct. I remember that time; deathrock was THE term to describe the people with pasty white makeup and spiky black hair. I was in SF in the mid 80s and that was the scene. Bauhaus was something we listened to a lot along with the staples like the Cure, SoM, etc.
@@ClarenceDoskocil I was in SF in 85 and deathrock was a thing at the time. This synth pop version of Ministry would likely have been a more peripheral thing, considered more New Wave, as you say; but there was always a lot of crossover back then since genres were fluid and there wasn’t the amount of people trying to classify everything and put it all into categories back then. All that arguing over different genres and sub genres came later. And that applied to the social scene as well; everyone who tended to be “alternative” in some way socialized together. There weren’t as separated hardcore and deathrock scenes.
The top comments (or the newest atleast) are not so possitive on what Al did later on his career. I can understand that people don´t like different style of music etc. But when I first heard Ministry it was in 1995 and later on heard this song I was surprised couldn´t realise it was the same person behind the music. I still like this one, so thank you for uploading this one - the former channels whom had this and others are semingly gone. Be safe Everyone.
Its kind of a double edged sword thou as... would he have created such masterpiece industrial albums, that he also loves, later if he had looked after himself better?
Чёрт подери, как бы Эл не открещивался от раннего творчества, это просто потрясающе! Одна из лучших,а лично для меня даже лучшая синти группа. Второй альбом так же шикарен. Последующие пару-тройку ещё можно избирательно слушать, но всё что пошло потом уже никакого прогресса не несло
Every time I hear a Ministry fan moan about Nine Inch Nails being Pop Industrial I smile and remind them about Synth Ministry. (Not an insult to Ministry. I love this)
Every time I hear some NIN fan complain about Ministry fans I want to puke all over Pretty Hate Machine then defecate on Downward Spiral. But hey, Trent is a great sound engineer. So I'll give him that much.
I am a fan of both NIN and Ministry. NIN got in there first, Ministry came second for me, but dominated for a long time. I’ll refer to them as flipsides of the same genre. I won’t name the genre, because that causes a whole other argument 😂 NIN wouldn’t have existed without Ministry. Ministry (arguably) might not exist now if it were not for the revival or interest in the genre that NIN brought. NIN excelled at, and perfected the introspective, self-loathing, delusional (“butt hurt”) aspects of the genre. Ministry excelled at the pounding, relentless, batshit crazy, politically in yer face, and also comedic aspects of the genre. Both are fronted by individuals with very different personalities. Both of these individuals are geniuses. If I could have a good long chat with 2 people in 1 room, it would be Al and Trent.
I originally posted this video because I got a kick out of the reactions from people that have never heard the original techno-pop Ministry. With Sympathy still gets lots of plays around my pad. I remember other bands doing the fake accent at the time. Images in Vogue and Platinum Blonde come to mind.
Everyday is Halloween is good as is "All Day" . Psalm 69. Jesus Built my Hotrod. I can appreciate those. Aside from LARD (with Jello Biafra on vocals) that's it for me concerning Ministry.

Thing that got me is his fake accent at the time, at least now he's ...uhmm... more genuine.... but out there.
I always though Heroin gave us the industrial ministry
@@superserial1 That too. Bitterness and heroin. Apparently that is the recipe.
Naw, I think he always wanted to hard stuff. Here’s him in an old band tearing it up on guitar in 1980:

It’s a shame he feels such disdain for his earlier work. It’s a masterpiece & ahead of its time. You can feel the dark, deep and the disdain.
Completely agree. Saw them live last night. I don't get it.
I prefer this as well.
I heard this on the radio during the 90s, and I remember the radio dj said "You just heard Ministry before they started taking hate pills."
Lmaoooo such a shame
Nah they turned hard but not hateful. They woke up and saw the bureaucracy in corporate music. Well and the bullshit in the world that's even more prevalent today.
It makes me laugh that Al denies this time in his life. As a Ministry fan no matter the era, he looked so awesome here!
If you follow Ministry on Facebook, you'll see he's maybe come around to appreciating this era as much as the fans do these days ☺️
1 in a thousand musicians get to make a good living from their art.
1 in a million get to make innovative stuff that sells around the world.
1 in 10 million get to disown their early success because they've transcended it and gone on to define the future of music.
I remember Ministry played on WLIR (New York) FM radio in the 1980s. Like many back then we all thought they were from the UK - they sounded British and who else could be this inventive with music. We had no internet to look things up.....a lot was left to one's imagination - which I miss.
cool same here then they became WDRE for awhile 92.7
Electronic music sounds better with an English or German accent, same way rock and metal do with American accents…
I don't care what Al says, Ministry's "With Sympathy" was and still is, a sick album . It has stood the test of time. That says a fucking lot!!! Something had to come before their other music, which was spawned out of this experimental phase (even though Al said the label they were on dictated a lot of it.) Still fucking sickkkkk.
Yes I agree.
This is the only vinyl I have ever stolen, and I own thousands.
"With Sympathy" is a Masterpiece.
With new synth artists like Grimes writing awesome songs, it's good to know this style has stood the test of time. I have worn this record out over the decades and it still remains in my top 20.
Dont listen to the children. This album was the shit.
Make Ministry Synth Pop Again!!!
I liked Ministry even when they were New Wave.
With Sympathy is in their top 3 best albums 🤷 I don't give a crap what anyone says.
I prefer ministry like this
They were alright in that medium. But it sounded like everyone else. "Just 1 more NW band." Now when "Stigmata" was released, we were moshing in the school hallways. Personally, I preferred the industrial sound and energy. Still, my favorite band
I prefer Ministry as new wave.
Me too!!
I can't believe this is the same man who wrote Just one fix, Stigmata and No W...
Strangely it's the most natural thing in the world. lol To me at least.
Imagine a faster tempo and the synth is a metal guitar, it will sound the exact same.
The Psalm 69 tour was Godley! There will never be another vibe like that again. Shame
They were an excellent synth pop band 🎹 !
This is the AL I remember meeting when I was young. Loved the earing's. Great Hair, makeup, he is such a great singer.
With Sympathy was my favorite album at the time. I saw them in 1983 in Providence RI and the show was amazing!
They really capture the sound of the 80s here
Well, it was 1983 when they made this, lol
Paraphrase Al Jourgenson..."We sold out first then did what we really wanted" And yet they accomplished awesomness in both guises
Omg! I got chills hearing this again. We had no shortage of awesome music in the 80's.

Pushed me off the dirty floor
You watched as my head hit the floor
You watched as I rolled round and round
You watched as I came tumbling down
You watched as I rolled down the stairs
You never wished me - fare thee well!
You watched as I got on my feet
I ran towards her and she started to plead, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
Far below original sin
Far below the state I'm in
Far below malicious crimes
Far below her for the time

Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
Oh went through the window, quiet as a mouse
No sound was stirring throughout the house
I'd heard a noise that made me startle
But I kept on walking down the corridor
Yes the corridor
Yes the corridor
And there you were with a man once more, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again
You did it again

THIRTEENTH floor, not dirty floor
This album is absolutely amazing
He hates all this early music, but I love it & Ministry💖
Yes... he hates this... which is the best stuff he ever did... and he loves the later stuff... which IMHO is all shite.
It's a funny 'ol world... I think their debut album is killer.... and I wouldn't take the rest of his stuff for free.
It's a solid synth pop album and a perfect homage to the British invasion of the time. Without this, there wouldn't have been a beginning of Ministry.
Ok
"oh man i can't wait to see their next albums!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This track takes me BACK! So many nights... so many dancefloors... so much ecstasy... so few brain cells left.... :)
before I heard this in the 80s I was a metal head and I hated keyboards now this is one of my favorite songs ever could be #1
New wave is my easy listening.. I'm a metalhead, mostly I've slowed to the stoner stuff
I remember seeing this a lot on MTV back in the day, never really liked it enough to buy it, but it was strangely hypnotic and captivating, so I watched it over and over....
I saw Uncle Al on this tour summer of 1981 at the Ritz in NYC.
He was Cousin Al back then.

Its kind of a double edged sword thou as... would he have created such masterpiece industrial albums, that he also loves, later if he had looked after himself better?

This song has great energy and it came from a LP of solid material.
What a synth style jam!! Sounds like there old stuff every day is Halloween!!!

Ministry is the best Synth-pop in the history!!
You are right; this song is definitely one of the greatest dark synth pop tracks ever recorded.
I liked their synth pop and new wave stuff better than their industrial and alternative music, Revenge is a true favorite.

Ministry (arguably) might not exist now if it were not for the revival or interest in the genre that NIN brought.
NIN excelled at, and perfected the introspective, self-loathing, delusional (“butt hurt”) aspects of the genre.
Ministry excelled at the pounding, relentless, batshit crazy, politically in yer face, and also comedic aspects of the genre.
Both are fronted by individuals with very different personalities.
Both of these individuals are geniuses.

When Ministry was like The Cure...soon things changed...
Just like the album, I have no idea what's going on but I love it
Remember kid, the difference between a synth-pop band and an industrial band are a few E-tabs!
I love the fake british accents everybody had in the 80's

I. BUY the MUSIC...
II. SUPPORT THE ARTIST(S) & the SCENE...
Got my rare cuts with that Love song on it on Bandcamp
Straight from a parallel universe
Yes
I seem to be in a minority that i like this AND like bangers like "Palestina" and "Scarecrow"
Scarecrow is fucking killer!
You can see the angry here that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Young Alien Yourgensen?
Wow never saw this version love it
Best song ever!!! el mejor tema, lejos.. ese teclado me corre x las venas. lit
With Sympathy is my only Ministry 🖤
Everyday is Halloween is good as is "All Day" . Psalm 69. Jesus Built my Hotrod. I can appreciate those. Aside from LARD (with Jello Biafra on vocals) that's it for me concerning Ministry.
Al Jourgensen doesn’t even look 25 in this music video he looks like he’s 15 years old.
idk guys i just wanna get stretched after this tune ended
You dirty bird 😜
The corridor the corridor the corridor
I remember this one from back in the day...
honestly attracted to super-intense, short, Latino, bad boy musician dudes ever since this video. (not a great thing for my life, as it turns out)
What did Al want his first album to originally sound like is my question
So good
That fake British accent tho!
Have you not heard the Chicago accent, lol?
Ohhh 😮nice I was a teenager in the 80s🙄☝🏻actually, that was a nice era, then music was killed in the late ‘90s!😛😉
The mainstream one, there is still hope in the underground music..
