Greatest Fits is a greatest hits album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on June 19, 2001, by Warner Bros. Records.
Background
[edit | edit source]The compilation was released to coincide with the release of the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which features a scene of the band performing "What About Us?"[6] Paul Barker had intended for "Over the Shoulder" and "Burning Inside" to appear on the compilation, but they were left off due to time limitations.[7]
