Intensely structured, cold, hi-tech savagery..."Alternative Press (3/93, p.52) - "...worshippers will find Jesus as hard-edged as ever, adding even more industrial effects to his psychedelic swirl...Jesus Jones is the lost link between Ministry's WITH SYMPATHY and TWITCH..."10.02953

Yet the album's centerpiece remains the star's voice--an instrument rich and knowing enough to redeem even the poor souls her lyrics embrace." - Rating: B7.020673
