The Last Sucker is the eleventh studio album by industrial metal band Ministry, released in 2007 through 13th Planet Records. For three years until their reformation in 2011, it was the band's terminal studio album featuring new material.
The album is the 3rd and final role of the band'due south anti-George W. Bush-league trilogy, preceded by 2004's Houses of the Molé and 2006's Rio Grande Blood.[thirteen]
Overview [edit]
Jourgensen told Billboard that he had "...other things to practice. I just started a label (13th Planet Records), and I want to sign some bands and really build it up like I did with WaxTrax in the '80s, non just a vanity label. I think information technology'south time, and I'll be leaving on the top of my game instead of hanging on as well long and doing crappy Aerosmith and Rolling Stones albums thirty years later."
"That seems to exist my muse; everyone seems to think I write real shitty music when a Democrat's in office. So we'll do that one, and then me and George (West.) Bush-league go riding off hand-in-paw, into the dusk."
Fearfulness Factory frontman Burton C. Bell recorded some guest vocals for the album.[14]
On July 17, 2007, a promotional copy of the album was leaked on the internet. A week earlier lyrics and full credits for the album were released by SureShotWorx on their official website.
A All-time Buy exclusive version of the CD contains remixes of "Watch Yourself" and "The Last Sucker."
The final track, "End of Days Part 2", contains a lengthy sample from 34th President of the United States Dwight Eisenhower's farewell accost, warning about the dangers of the "military-industrial circuitous".[7] The end of the vocal too features a serenity sample of "O Fortuna" in the background. The same music was sampled at the get-go of the first album in the Bush Trilogy, Houses of the Molé.
In an interview with Songfacts from 2012, Jourgensen reflected on the political aspect of the anthology:
"By the cease of Last Sucker, I really felt guilty and bad about bashing Bush-league. In Rio Grande Claret, I was all into information technology: this guy's evil. But by the terminate of Last Sucker, I was just similar, this guy is in over his head. The oligarchy rules, and this guy plays with crayons and reads My Pet Goat. I mean, he'south a blithering idiot. I protested him here in El Paso once. I got within 10 feet of him. I can't believe the Secret Service allow me get that close. And he was at a taco stand up, like, 'I'll take one of them there enchiritos.' Well, there was no enchirito on the carte du jour, and I don't fifty-fifty know what an enchirito is. Just George W. was insistent, so they made him an enchirito, and I got to witness the whole thing and I started feeling deplorable for him. What a dolt, human being. This guy is so stupid, he tin't be running the land. Cheney and the oligarchy is running the country. This guy only plays with Tonka trucks and orders enchiritos. I actually felt sorry for him."[fifteen]
Embrace art [edit]
The limited edition digipak has an image of George Due west. Bush's face that morphs into a lizard creature'due south confront and back when turned. The image is on a card that can be removed from the digipack.
The inner encompass art contains a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, with Jourgensen in the center of the tabular array and figures from the Bush administration around him; Bush himself is drawn in Philip the Campaigner's place.
