Greatest Fits is a greatest hits album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on June 19, 2001, by Warner Bros. Records.
Background
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]
