The album starts off quite energetically, with some simple yet aggressive and heavy riffs and some artificial but effective beats with some nice double bass work giving it some extra power. After the first couple of songs, it shifts more towards Electro-Industrial territory and loses its metallic edge. It also slows down considerably, and relies on sampling to break its simple, repetitive beats. Most of the non-musical noises thrown in add little to the sound and are usually just abrasive for the sake of being abrasive. The instrumental tracks are especially hard to bear, as Al’s manic, crazed vocals are one of the main appeals to the album.
An incredibly unique record when it was first conceived, and highly influential to Industrial Metal and other similar circles of music. Today, it is too simple and limited without offering any staying power to hold up very well.

Moral Hygiene Review (2021)
Megametal 75/100Oct 24, 2021 Likes : 2
Al Jourgensen a jeho Ministry vydávajú po troch rokoch nové Industrial Rock-Metal -ové album. "Moral Hygiene" kombinuje dobré a aj priemerné hudobné prvky, avšak z môjho pohľadu obsahuje až príliš veľa rušivých, hovorených a industriálnych zvukov / pazvukov, ktoré oslabujú časť piesní. Al sa opäť obklopil prevažne novými spoluhráčmi a spev, ako aj č... Read More

A lot of really good ideas and unique aspects to this album that were groundbreaking at the time. Probably most later Industrial Metal bands used this thing as a blueprint. The speedy, riff-focused parts of this are great, like Tv 2 and Hero, which rip along at chainsaw shredding speed. Al usually sounds good, which a very gruff yet nasally yell that is no doubt processed with ... Read More
