"EVERYDAY IS LIKE HALLOWEEN" MINISTRY (1984)

“Everyday is Like Halloween” is no “Ghostbusters” or “Thriller”. But like its title suggests, in some ways it became a more listenable track beyond October 31st. In high school and college, I caught small glimpses of the industrial rock scene. Ministry always seemed to be an anomaly because of its synth-pop roots. Its songs were just more melodic than the typical industrial, percussion-driven noise. And “Halloween” was industrial rock at its most accessible.

“Well I let their teeny minds think that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink. And I dress this way just to keep them at bay 'cause Halloween is everyday.”
