Sarah was my first real girlfriend and she introduced to a ton of great bands. she was very much into being 'goth', wearing black and over analyzing 'bela lugosi's dead'. Ministry wasn't really one of her favourites but she did think they were cool - and cool they were. 'Thieves' is basically just a cool song and not much more. The entire album is unfortunately more repetitive than cool, as if Robocop is constantly being turned on and turned off. Granted that was somewhat of a novel sound back then, especially in music, but nowadays that audio byte can be found in sneaker commercial for kids.
