Couldn’t get through this one with much FF’ing to if there was something I could stick with. Guess this one wasn’t for me.
the universe must hate me bc why is the algorithm picking so many metal albums lately. i got nothing intelligent to say about this album except i'm glad to have it checked off the list
Hogwash, utter hogwash
It was okay, better for background music probably not something I would return to
OK, I listened and am aware. I felt kind of beaten up after 36 minutes of this. Not my thing but I accept music is for expressing everything that is human, including anger and vitriol.
Because I was a bit behind I had this playing immediately after the previous album (Electric Warrior by T.Rex). While the former was acceptable background music this started to irritate immediately. Mostly the "singing" but also the repetitive nature of the music. After the distorted shouting in TV II I had enough and did what I should have done within 10 seconds after the start ending the assault on my ears.
Speed metal just always makes me feel bad. Maybe this sounds great on meth.
Even chicks in tight shorts couldn't save this album... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WADa5ItkV6o It's simply beyond the limits of good taste... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X9x9VqtciA
I know this is 1001 albums to listen to before you die. Well, I’d rather die listening to only 1000 of these albums, than to listen to this album in its entirety. A big NOPE for me.
The author of this list is an English guy who was raised in the 80’s and fucking loved the Blade soundtrack. I went back to Metallica after this to see if I was too harsh on them and I think I was. I still don’t care for them but now that my ire is directed at someone else I can see more merit in Metallica. There’s this thing called Poe’s Law that more or less describes satire that is so on the nose that it cannot be discerned from an actual endorsement of the thing it is trying to critique. Ik this metal band probably thinks they’re thrashing the shit out of Christianity by chanting praise Jesus again and again but post irony exists. I fucking hate Hitler and maybe I’d write a song about it but I wouldn’t say Heil him 10 times in a row ironically. At that point it just seems like you’re kind of on board. Even if everyone knew it was a diss track I still wouldn’t want to chant some shit I vehemently disagree with. Jesus and a hotrod in the same song? I don’t care what the deeper message is supposed to be, it’s a whack ass aesthetic to envelop your message in.
Bleh. Maybe it’s ignorance of lack of context, but I don’t need to listen to that again.
First thought: this is the kind of music that made 90s evangelical Christians boycott the world. Second thought: I don’t know if I can do 45 minutes of this. Third thought: it’s true, sometimes you do have to ding a ding dang your dang a long ling long.
Too hard for me. 1/5
(Old woman voice): “That’s not music, that’s just bloody noise.”
no
not again !!! Another vocalist who can't sing and I can only make out occasional words. Every track the same - some production mix then that noise, can't even tell if anyone can actually play their instrument except the drums and they could be a drum machine. No more, please lets have some albums that can at least be classed as music.
Nope
Not my mood
Industrial. Very harsh
This is horrible. I’m getting a slew of not so great albums and beginning to think there are no more good ones coming up on this list.
Nope.
So much for that. Played the first few notes of each track and that was enough for me. Demented head banging music is definitely not my taste.
Corny and not that good
Wow! This is extraordinarily bad. 1 star or F-.
Yeah nah. No thanks 1/100 ⭐️
Not today Satan
Not my sort of music. 1.
Just na
CR*A*P
Ministry of wank
-5
Stopped listening during track 2. Blasphemy.
Kuulen tähän musiikkiin valjastetun mielikuvituksen ja inspiraation, mutta en hevillä kykene nauttimaan siitä (paitsi ehkä Scare Crow'n hitaammasta groovesta - sanoin: groveesta). Ehkä en vain ole valmis. 1+
Skip.
I can understand why the CIA uses this genre of ‘music’ to torture prisoners. At least the rhythm was consistent.
STANDOUTS: n/a OVERALL: 1/5; an absolute NO for me, dogggggg.
I tried this, and quickly decided that my life's too short to spend time filling my head with this satan suicide soundtrack.
No. Screeching is not music
This is the worst. I don't know how anyone could listen to this and enjoy it. It's just a mash-up of the worst parts of metal and EDM music with some random bible references and screeching noise tossed in. 0/5
Kinda yawn. Good guitar riffs throughout and Jesus built my hotrod is decent but yeah idk neither enjoyable nor edgy to me.
I really thought the lyrics for TVII were not: Connect the goddammed dots but Turn off the goddammed noise Maybe that was just wishful thinking.
Got 23 seconds into the first song and had to skip. 42 seconds into second song before my stomach hurt. 47 seconds on third song...can feel my chest tightening. 49 seconds on Hero the 4th song. OK I'm committing to Jesus Built my Hotrod it's a funny title and has 23M streams. Gave the remaining 3 songs about 3 seconds and shut this the fuck down. Nope
This album is about 43 mins 55 seconds too long. The first 5 seconds are great! 1.1
Ei pysty tällasta kuuntelemaan.
1.5 Good execution of what is was not but just nottttttt for me
Nee. Zu unmelodisch für mich.
not good nor enjoyable. Absolute chore of a listen, and it put me in a bad mood. metal isnt my bag but I dont see how anyone enjoyed this junky noise parade
Respectfully, gay barf
WTF is this? And why would you want me to listen to this pile of trash?
I understand why they made the list but oh my is this awful after a while it felt like you needed to just hear nothing and be fine
yuck. thrash metal is not my thing at all & this one was hard to get through. tedious. now I need to go sit in silence for a while.
Schrammeiliger Industrial Metal.
tortuous and tedious
A little screamy and weird for me. I especially did not like the song Psalm 69 with the talking voices inserted in the music. I could not get through the last few songs.
Sub-par album with cringeworthy lyrics. 1/5
Not for me - I found it overall rather irritating. Not really my genre in the first place to be absolutely fair, however I just didn't really 'get' it. I found it silly and bland. Nothing more from me.
No. No. No. 1
The whole album sounded as a single 44-minute long song, because all songs had the same rhythm and barely any melody. Industrial metal is not my thing...
Album 372 of 1001 Ministry - KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) Rating : 1.5 / 5 Described as 'Industrial Metal'. Didn't do anything for me. Hints of Butthole Surfers during one track, but that didn't hold.
Know this metal genre is popular with a lot but I ain't one of 'em 🤣. Loathed this!
Nope!
I’m not opposed to metal or industrial music, but this just noise. Incoherent lyrics that were probably seen as subversive in 1992, but who knows because you can’t understand WTF these guys are saying. It seems that the Ministry think they’re very edgy, but it just comes off as cheesy and lame. Jesus Built My Hotrod was pretty cool, though.
Pura basura
3-5-2024 I didn't need or want this in my life.
not musical.
Wer nach diesem Getöse nicht taub ist, hat die Chance tatsächlich die restlichen 1000 Songs zu hören bevor man den Löffel abgibt. Obwohl ich es ja auch mal Hard & Haevy mag, handelt es sich hierbei nicht um Musik sondern um Krach. Selbst die Zeit zur Kritik ist Verschwendung.
I try these albums and even if I think I won’t like a genre I haven’t liked I really do give every song a good 30-second listen… but sometimes life is too short and you need to enjoy 5 minutes of your life that much more and go listen to Prince instead… sorry gents props to you and your music career but it’s a no from me
Death Metall
Heavy metal. Pass
It was scary. I stopped listening
This was a tough one to get through. Skipped a lot of songs. I really did not enjoy this.
This is the most diluted metal album I've ever heard. Everything is so overly distorted and mindlessly repetitive. Industrial metal already isn't my favorite genre but it has some merit, this is just annoying
No thanks. Couldn’t finish it.
Too wild
Definitely not my type of music
ok bud
Too rough
Somebody just buy me a Turboman doll already.
You're angry. So so angry. You have many feelings but they are best summed up as angry. Because that's the cool one for dudes who are angry. You should make an album about how angry you are that the world is shitty and how your insight into how shitty everything is reminds you to be angry. Next album please. PLEASE.
This is gonna be a fat no from me dawg
Naa, thought i would like it but i did not.
1/5. Another album I just couldn’t make sense of. It’s like Corrosion of Conformity mixed with the Flaming Lips. Electronic instruments everywhere.
Didn't liked.
Had van deze mafkezen een CDtje, maar kan me niet voorstellen dat ik bij mijn volle verstand was, toen ik dacht ik dit veel zou gaan draaien.
Hmmm. Het was m'n bedoeling hier did-not-listen te kiezen, maar daar ging iets mis. Zeer tegen m'n zin 1 ster dan maar.
If you like static noise you will like this
Guess who's not above thumbing his nose at industrial rock? And I wanted to appreciate a song called "Jesus Built My Hotrod". Turns out it's probably the song played on an endless loop in hell. Maybe I'd learn to love it.
No. Just… no.
No.
I feel like younger version of myself may of liked this. But I can’t listen to this now so stressful. 1.5
Look, I really can’t stand a whole album of this sh*t
Now I know what Ministry sounds like.
S*H*I*T although i can see what they are they are trying to achieve not as unlistenable as i first thought
Not a fan at all.
Au moins ça réveille
on veut pas de metal y en a marre du metal ♫
Turgid, tedious and terrible.
Heavy del horrible, inescuchable.
Another one of these albums this is nothing more than just "noise" There is no other word for it absolutely god-awful and another one of those but I felt so understand how it made a list that includes some absolutely fantastic albums
It's too screamy. I generally do not dislike the music portion of heavy metal. The screaming I can't understand and do not care for. It is better than some of the ones on this list but I am not going to round up.
My ears hurt
Not fun. Low volume. Strange artwork too
There's just nothing here for me.
shit metal, nothing interesting at all
Ja, nej den går sgu desværre ikke
What sort of brain donor listens to utter shite like this?
Tyler called it
Yeah. Not my thing.
Not my jam (but Jesus Built My Hotrod has a Suicide vibe)
Gruizige gitaarklanken, vanwege de metalinvloeden klinkt het uitgesproken metalig. Soms zingt hij, soms brult hij, met zijn stem met een ruw randje. Niet echt een pakkend album dat je twee keer beluisteren niet bepaald kunt meezingen. Dit album heeft niet bepaald catchy tracks, dus al barst het van de hooks en de licks, deze frontman en zijn backing vocals komen wat mij betreft niet hoog in de charts.
If an atheist were to be forced to have an exorcism in an active warehouse this is what it would sound like. They added way too much texture that it all becomes obnoxious and you can't really hear anything. I like metal but this just ain't it. I suppose this is the result of grunge being popular and needing to stand out as a metal band.
Turned it off after 2 songs, not for me.
One of the reviews characterized this as theomockery. Great term. The thought of +1 for that entered my mind but then quickly exited.
I feel violated.... my ears have been raped and buggered. Maura summed this album up beautifully in three words... that's bloody awful!!!
Head banging
nope!!!!
Didn’t like.
Cet album est pour moi la tête de mort qui fait déborder le clébard. Je savais très bien avant de lancer l'écoute que ces messieurs n'allaient pas figurer parmi mes artistes favoris du générateur pour les avoir vus se produire au Joyeux Gueulards Festival, mais là c'en est trop. L'album se dirigeait droit vers un 2 sur 5 mais les coupures de son arrache-oreilles parsemées çà et là auront raison de lui. Allez vous faire foutre.
And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friends, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain That life is too short for this shit, I've pulled the curtain Regrets I've had a few Napalm Death and Stills among them But more , much more than that This stinks as much as they do...
I maybe have only done this one other time but I didn't even finish this one because I know it wasn't my thing. I enjoy good metal but this is not my style. I thought the vocals were bad and the lame jokey titles and vibe of the album did nothing for me. Not for me. Standout Tracks: N/A
Utterly dreadful, and they seem to have doubled down on dreadfulness as every song is completely unlistenable in almost the exact same way.
God, I hated this. The one brief respite from my unrelenting hatred was “Scare Crow.” I’d give this 1.5 but I’m rounding down.
Omg
no ty x
Screaming backed by noise. Never understood the appeal of this type of music. Cool album cover, though.
Good heavy guitars, but the music isn't that pleasant to listen to, and is incredibly repetitive.
Jeez!!!
This is not my cup of tea by far. I understand why it's on here, and I am glad that people can enjoy it, but it's just not for me. My favourite song was probably Hero, but I didn't like any of them very much.
I knew NWA and Jesus hotrod, but the rest is a hard listen - not many songs in a conventional sense. A lot of industrial noise interspersed with some thrash guitar. I suppose it has its place in something to hear once before I die… Not my thing.
Terrible! Yuck! Devil music!!
Not me
Not for me
Not my cup of tea at all .
A stomach-churning level of terribleness. Almost indescribably abrasive on my ears and I feel worse for having listened to it. 1/10
Every track is mind numbingly boring. No-one needed to hear this before they died. There are easily 1001 other albums that should've taken its place.
To jeden z tych pickow ktory az skreca z cringu, bo jak inaczej reagowac na referencje do okultystycznych idolii popkultury i wyjcowate nawalanki po gitarkach, piaty studyjny krazek bandy ministry z hameryki o ktorej istnieniu slysze pierwszy raz i wolalbym nie uslyszec w cale, bo 44 minuty na 9 trakach odrzucaja nie tylko stylistycznie swym szatanskim waleniem po 69 kablach, ale rownie dobrze robi to muzycznie, chociaz ciezko cos takiego w ogole nazwac muzyka, wedlug wiki jest to gatunek industrial metal, czyli granie metalowe polaczone z elementami elektroniki, brzmi jak przepis na niezle rzyganko i wlasnie taka reakcje u siebie zaobserwowalem po wymeczeniu tego krazka
I didn’t despise this like I have with other 1-star ratings, but two stars seems… generous. 1.5/5 with Jesus Built my Hotrod being one of the more entertaining song titles I’ve ever come across.
This was bad. I did not enjoy any parts of it.
Just don't dig electronica of any genre
Not the right vibes for my Sunday brunch. Even my skiddy metalhead husband didn’t want to listen to this one. Trusting his finely tuned metal ear, we turned it off before the bacon began to sizzle. Brunch was hot and fresh, this album was not.
oh my god i can't even listen to this i hate it so much
I can understand their inclusion on the list given their role in evolving industrial music. But this just does not sound good. It is not something I can enjoy, or frankly respect.
This highlight is the cover Cover art 5/5
Metal made by an artificial intelligence for big nerds This album, while not being that great to begin with, seems to nosedive after Jesus Built My Hotrod. Scare Crow is tortuously plodding and repetitive. Whatever elements I enjoy about this album and band aren't really able to hold up the weaknesses the full product has. The production and guitar tones are good, but these songs rarely go anywhere. Some of the stronger songs are catchy and short enough to justify that they don't go anywhere, but man some of the longer songs needed some editing. For example, Psalm 69 (a fantastic title, although the titling is arguably the strongest trait of this album) starts very fucking slow and overdramatic as a way to build tension for when the song kicks in which actually fucking slaps, and then they give like a minute and a half of that and go back to the plodding overdramatic "Praise Jesus" bit, rinse repeat for a verse too long lol It's safe to say this isn't my cup of tea, and it's unfortunate in ways because I actually like industrial, or at least industrial-esque shit like Death Grips. This isn't really doing anything for me, and the entire time I was ready for it to be over with. Can't imagine poor Michael listening to this album, and putting on a brave face to get through it. Lmaao
You couldn't pay me to listen to this again.
Never been a fan of Ministry… did not listen.. sorry
Nope…..
Industrial metal. Not my cup of tea.
Oh, man, I'm tired and don't need someone shouting at me. Stop it. Even if what you are really singing is, "In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong A sticky sticky son of a gun Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong Why why never know Why why wack a dong a dang ding dong Then you take it on the bill Ding dang dong don't dong Whoa! I want to love ya!" (Jesus built my hotrod) I think I'd prefer it in a Country and Western style, and I generally hate Country and Western
Grow up
Reminds me of the heavy metal nights at Jilly's rockworld. Absolute shite. 1 - The worst kind of metal
umm this was painful. the song names, the noises, the “singing”. all of it. it was horrifying.
Come on. No. Very literally my dog started to bark *upstairs* when this started. I feel you, Sadie. This sounds like someone violently vomiting up steel-spiked cheerios in the midst of 100,000 Orcs on coffee destroying Fangorn forest while they're frantically building a freeway. I'm tired and this is awful and it's making me angry - first album out of ~200 that I couldn't even finish. 1/10 1 star.
Not for me, but I gave it a go.
Just not my thing. To me, it sounds loud for the sake of being loud. Just a cacophony of meaningless noise that is aggressively boring.
I don't have the edgy dude-bro inside me necessary to enjoy this. Sounds hateful and not in an artistic enough way for me.
nope
Listen to the monologue at the beginning of "Jesus Built My Hotrod". They chose not to use a pop filter on the microphone when they recorded it. That had to be deliberate; nobody in the audio industry would make that mistake. That means that this album was intentionally created to be difficult to listen to. Good job guys, you pulled it off.
was excited because i hadnt had a metal album yet, but this was rlly boring and the songs dragged on. couldnt finish it.
Boring af tbh. Important maybe, but wow boring
Ugh!
Musica de loosers.
Simplemente no, de principio a fin
Not for ne
Here’s what I know about Ministry: Chester Bennington of Linkin Park honed his vocal stylings as a teen by singing along to Ministry until he sounded like them. And that piece of possible-knowledge is more interesting than actually listening to Ministry.
Just no
Ugh noise
Nee.
Rubbish
Rubbish, didn't listen
I did not like anything about this
nooooooooooooooooooooo
A bit too preachy and felt like it was trying to play mind games with me and I hate that. Fuck off to this.
Was not a fan. I liked the guitar and the drums, but I could not get over the water vocal effect.
i can bang things and make a lot of noise too, but i would never be so deluded as to call it music
Metal
Don't like speed metal
Repetition CAN be artistic. In this case, it's not. The only good thing about this album is that the Butthole Surfers guy showed up and sort of half rescued one of the songs. Best track: Jesus Built My Hotrod
Impressive percussion, good when I need a break from Doom OST
