Al Jourgensen may have disowned Ministry's synth-pop era, but tracks like "I Wanted to Tell Her" make "With Sympathy" an overlooked debut album. Jourgensen displays his songwriting talents as well as his vocal abilities in this early period, before adopting an EBM sound for "Twitch" and eventually settling into his trademark mix of industrial and thrash metal. Apart from appearing on "With Sympathy", "I Wanted to Tell Her" was also Ministry's second single, a funky and disco-inspired track that features soulful guest vocals from Shay Jones. Here is proof that even Al's early tracks incorporate tough sounding beats and an aggressive vocal presence that foreshadows his work to come.
