ok, so yeah....i'm sure there's some ministry freaks about...

lately, i've been listenin' to 'em like mad as i forgot how bad-ass they are...

so, i figured i'd have a lil' discussin about ministry....what albums ya got, whatz your favorite, favorite song, saw 'em live, whatz up with misistry these days....

i have:

Twitch
Land of Rape and Honey
Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Psalm 69
Dark Side of the Spoon
Greatest Hits

right now, i'm all about Land of Rape and Honey....i forgot how much that album kicks ass.....as some may, or may not know, when Ministry first started, the pure electronica music.....not industrial.....there older albums (especially Twitch) doesn't sound like anything like they do now....and recently, a friend introduced me to Effigy, Ministry's first album (which Alain Jourgesan denies exist....but sure as shit, it does....itz pure 80's electronica-pop.....great shit!!!!!)

so yeah....ministry rules!!!!!

I have been listening to "a mind is a terrible thing to taste" lately along with some other albums that Al did like "Beers Steers and Queers" by the Revolting Cocks.

I have:

Twitch
Land of Rape and Honey
The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Psalm 69
Filth Pig
The Fall (single)
Dark Side of the Spoon
Animositisomina
Houses of the Molé


I find things I like about pretty much all their albums, though Ministry kinda started to fizzle out around Dark Side of the Spoon (yes, I friggin' love Filth Pig, so blow me). I thought their earlier 80s cheese was just as cool as their industrial-metal sound, so I don't have any beef with their musical transition; in fact, if it weren't for that transition, about 2 billion other bands wouldn't exist today. So yeah... rock.

yeah, i agree.....i like their older sound as well as what they've become....but i don't quite know which i like more....

but have you heard "Effigy" or heard of it? i'm determined to get a copy....listenin' to it was just classic

I've heard a couple tracks off their new release on my Launchcast station, and I was very impressed. I'm still much more a fan of their earlier stuff. Land of Rape and Honey is still far and away my favorite, with Psalm 69 coming in a close second. I have a friend who actually owns their very first CD, on the BMG label. They sounded like a bad knock-off of New Order; it was fucking awful.

They just played a small club here in Spokane the week before Thanksgiving, and I missed it...being severely strapped for cash at the moment. That sucked.

Speaking of suck, it was Filth Pig that turned me off from them for a long time. That album really bit.

Oh...and as a side note, my favorite Al Jourgensen side project has to be 1000 Homo DJs. Great stuff.

I went to see Ministry in Toronto a couple of months back with two of my buddies. It was awsome and We all got drunk.

*is envious*

I saw them here in nashville with thrill kill kult. very kick ass show! we all got wasted and tranced out to the awesome beats of nwo, psalms 69. no w and then they closed the showed with the sabbath cover. and amen to all the hot chicks their in skin tight leather and vinyl. damn hot!

my favorite ministry albums are psalms 69 and house of the mole

and you didn't invite me?
