The Last Sucker is the tentative title for Ministry's eleventh studio album. According to a May 2006 interview with mainman Al Jourgensen, it will be the band's last studio release.^[1]

Jourgensen told Billboard that he had "...other things to do. I just started a label (13th Planet Records), and I want to sign some bands and really build it up like I did with WaxTrax in the '80s, not just a vanity label. I think it's time, and I'll be leaving on the top of my game instead of hanging on too long and doing crappy Aerosmith and Rolling Stones albums thirty years later."

He also claimed that the album will be the third part in Ministry's trilogy of albums attacking the George W. Bush administration, following 2004's Houses of the Molé and 2006's Rio Grande Blood.

"That seems to be my muse; everyone seems to think I write real shitty music when a Democrat's in office. So we'll do that one, and then me and George Bush go riding off hand-in-hand, into the sunset."

Revolting Cocks guitarist Sin recently announced [1] in an online posting that he is working on the new album, stating that it should be completed by May 1st and released sometime in September 2007. Fear Factory frontman Burton C. Bell has also recorded guest vocals on the album. [2]
