how loud do y'all listen to music through headphones?

I used to listen to all my shit through a regular stereo system and then when it broke in 2015, opted not to replace it and just listened to everything through headphones but LOUD as FUQ. wondering if I will be deaf in 5 years.

I don't know that this one has universal love as much as critical praise with detraction from various corners, but Ministry's Psalm 69 was one I tried, tried, tried to love and had to give up. I think the problem was that it was on the cusp of my industrial/EBM phase, where I was listening to Skinny Puppy and Frontline Assembly and Psalm was too straight up metal in places for me, but I don't know if that was it. I love "N.W.O." and "Just One Fix", as well as the title track, but can't stand "Jesus Built My Hotrod" (don't really dig the Gibby collabo here) and some of the other tracks don't click for me. pre-Psalm Ministry is my jam.

I much prefer the other side project REvolting Cocks.

Psalm 69 wasn't the beginning of the end for Ministry. It was the end. Everything since has just been post-mortem twitching.

i haven't heard much from post-Psalm other than singles and the 1998-2004 era songs I heard the one time I saw them live.....
