KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Hella cool, ground breaking

i like metal but this is a little bit strong and I don't like the religious themes.

Not a fan at all.

Au moins ça réveille

on veut pas de metal y en a marre du metal ♫

Progenitor, but not quite there yet.

Turgid, tedious and terrible.

I have a soft spot for Ministry. I don't really love this, but I do like it and that should be worth something. Maybe the sense of humor sets this metal/industrial music apart from other stuff? Sure, let's go wtih that.

I like a good old heavy metal racket, and this delivers on that front. Knowingly self aware too, which only serves to up the appeal. 'Hero' and 'Jesus Built My Hot Rod' (great song title) are the standouts for me.

So, let me tell you about my relationship to this era Ministry. I loved this band in high school. Ministry, NIN, Godflesh, Skinny Puppy - I'm all in. I had the three disc box set from Wax Trax. I had a keyboard that could do drum sounds and would run it through distortion pedals. It was a good time in my life. I also had a "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" t-shirt which had a big ol' engine of some kind or another on the front of it. And one day in the pizza line the dude behind me said, "Hey, if you're into racing you should come out to the speedway in South Caldwell on Friday nights." I wasn't about to go. (I probably should have.) That shirt confused the shit out of everybody and I absolutely loved that. I also saw Ministry at Lollapalooza 92, and despite Pearl Jam and Soundgarden being on the bill in their absolute primes... 1992 me probably would've told you Ministry was the best band there. They tore shit up and nobody else on that bill sounded remotely like them. BUT... t-shirts and concerts aside, I also just really, genuinely liked the music and this album still holds up for me. It does what it does and doesn't make any bones about it. The guy lost me when he started getting political in his music a way that had absolutely zero nuance about it, but that didn't come until later. I have way more appreciation now for the first two records, but their transition to a metal band was made for nerds like me. I still love "Scarecrow," and "Just One Fix." They're grimier songs than what Trent Reznor or (uggh) Rob Zombie was doing, and then of course the album doesn't just stay in the sewer. "Hotrod" is a fun song! "TV II" is fun. "N.W.O." is a great opener and tone-setter. And none of you are probably even reading this, but damnit now it's on the record.

Liked how this was a metal album that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it isn’t an absolute joke, either. ‘Jesus Built My Hotrod’ is fun. Ok I’m drawing a blank on what to say again.

Rock on.

não

Enjoyed the speed metal and thrash bits, didn't enjoy the repetitious vocal samples. All the one-chord jam songs with fade outs made this album seem unfinished. Also, next to NIN's Wish from the same year Psalm 69 is fairly primitive.

Heavy del horrible, inescuchable.

This is the missing link between thrash and nu metal. It's not missing anymore. To me when this came out, it was a noisier, more sarcastic, less heavy version of what Godflesh already did a couple of years before. Favorite song: Psalm 69.

YES. I listened to this album a lot in the 90s and I think it stands up. Admittedly the production is a little 80s in places, and some tracks are a little loop-centric, but when it hits, it hits. Almost the whole album works brilliantly. In terms of aggressive industrial metal, Just One Fix, NWO, Jesus built my hotrod and TV II are absolutely standards. The only thing keeping it from a 5 is the fact that the impact is lessened by the mixdown, and that some of the later tracks are relatively weaker. Would love to hear this properly remastered.

Weird: I wanted to kms and love it all at the same time. Just a plain odd album which I didn't really need to listen to but definitely and experience. I wanted to love it but couldn't bring myself to do so. Was way to heavy for my usual listening but I will try to give the stand out track 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' some more time.

I like plenty of heavy and abrasive music, but I prefer more melodic dynamic sounds. It’s like this combines what I consider the worst parts of electronic and metal - repetitiveness and a near constant wall of noise.

Thinking too hard about this one risks identifying those most-obvious elements and their worst expressions. Full frontal, I could say.

Only okay, heavy but lacks nuance, subtletly and melody. Only mildly interesting.

I liked this more than I thought I would after the first track. Still not that much though! It's a bit heavy for me, though the screaming gets closer to singing the further you get through the album. Jesus Built My Hotrod is worth a listen for its sheer silliness, rest is tolerable but not great. 2/5.

If NIN's Broken and Metallica's Kill Em' All had a baby, you'd probably get something along the lines of this. The whole sonic landscape of this album was lifted straight from the early 90s, like you took a grudge record and put it on warpspeed and peppered in a ton of heavy thrash riffs. I mean look at the ridiculousness of Jesus Built My Hotrod, it's lyrics are all over the place, but god it's actually fantastic as an industrial metal song with a great heavy riff and driving beat. Only reason I can't give it higher is because the last track felt like completely noisy nonsense.

PREFS : N.W.O., Just One Fix, Hero, Jesus Built My Hotrod MOINS PREF : Grace

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

One of ministry's better albums. So many good songs on this brings me back to a day long ago.

Feu, rage et récolte, répétition de motifs entêtants

not into hardrock

Great album. Very strong start, fades a little from there but still good tracks

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.

Meh

I had no idea what this was going to be and was pleasantly surprised. Loud, fast and fuck you but not so shouty as to be annoying. i will be looking out more of their stuff for sure.

Absolutely not my genre, but there was enough in here that I didn't absolutely hate it. Although 69 stuff is so lame. That made me hate it a bit more.

My partner hates this album; it was their first one star. However, while this list was their first time listening to this, I have some experience with these songs due to my father, namely "Jesus Built My Hotrod". Hell, I've been to a Ministry concert, even if I was only their for Primus. So, there is definitely some leverage here for me that makes me enjoy it a bit more, I'd even say the before mentioned song is my favorite thrash/industrial metal song of all time. Overall, the album isn't really too much for me, I'd say it's too mindless as it starts to unwind, which I'm sure was the goal, but it makes it difficult "listening" music. There are definitely things here I like enough, however, to get it into that middle of the road ranking, and I could see myself jamming to some of this while driving.

Nice. Hard stuff

My ears hurt

I've definitely heard of this band but I do not recall ever hearing their music. Once again, this project shows me why I keep coming back. I've been introduced or reintroduced to so much great music, especially in styles and genres I overlook too often and too easily. This band and this album probably would not have shown up for me elsewhere, and even though it's pretty far outside my usual listening tendencies -- way more heavy metal and thrashy than I ever tune into -- it's incredible. Holy Schneikies, this band can play. I don't know how much of what I'm hearing might have been sped up by any production effects, but I have a feeling that this group can play absurdly fast yet super tight. Again, not usually my favored style, and I can only take so much of it at a time, but, whoa, they are amazing.

I have tried to listen to this one lots of times and I can't seem to be able to get through it, so there it is

Not fun. Low volume. Strange artwork too

There's just nothing here for me.

Sonzao, pesado metal industrial, mas afude oa riffzao

Poo metal

Bopping through most of the album

Not for me

Not bad for metal

shit metal, nothing interesting at all

Top 3 Songs: 1 - Hero (4) 2 - Jesus Built My Hotrod (5) 3 - N.W.O. (1)

My ears hurt

Ja, nej den går sgu desværre ikke

Loved it since it came out.

The best riffs had the worst vocals.

Not something I would listen to often - BUT, this kicks ass for what it is. 3.5/5

Not my thing,

Not my thing but ok

What sort of brain donor listens to utter shite like this?

Nope, not a fan of it.

Album van industrial metal band Ministry, gevuld met heavy metal en een vleugje psychobilly. Het grootste deel van het budget ging naar drugs en dat hoor je ook. Grotesque album, maar "Jesus Built My Hotrod" en "Scare Crow" zijn wel grappig. leukste nummer: Jesus Built My Hotrod De titel "ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ" is een verwijzing naar The Book of Lies van occultist Aleister Crowley. De alternatieve titel "Psalm 69: They Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck eggs" ook, maar ook over 69.

Industrial rock, so pretty polarizing but not bad. hard to give it less than a 3 because I'm not a big listener in that genre so I don't want to be too harsh.

I never was too big on industrial music. I just can’t get into Nine Inch Nails. But this, this was something else. I really dug this and plan on listening more of them. Great discovery! 8,5 out of 10

A blistering display of industrial oddness. The one-two punch of the frenetic Jesus Bought My Hot Rod and the doomy atmospheric heaviness of Scare Crow is a massive highlight at the centre of an assured and exciting but somewhat uneven album

Love industrial metal from time to time. This album is pretty influential to the point that Du Hast sounds very similar to Just One Fix. I prefer my industrial metal with more chunky groove and less of that harsh vocal though.

Not exactly my style, but it was kinda banging sometimes, just not consistently enough. Also it gets a bit more bland in the later stages + some weird stuff

Tyler called it

Noise and metal and scream and grunge and metal and noise and static and loud and scratch and thrash and words and metal and bang and loud and crap

Yeah. Not my thing.

Metal industrial. Te despierta. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

Not my jam (but Jesus Built My Hotrod has a Suicide vibe)

Brutal, memorable and strangely commercial. I love this and the previous two Ministry albums

Good

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.

Ik ben niet goed op de hoogte van de metal-geschiedenis. Maar dit komt mij over als grondleggend voor de elektronische metal. Het eerste nummer biedt bijna een drum & bass basis. Als je bij het tweede nummer de 'zanger' wegdenkt, associeer je dit al snel met Rammstein en het intro van het derde nummer lijkt wel wat op wat Junkie XL eind jaren deed (En nu weet ik ook eens waar Promo de mosterd heeft gehaald). Het niveau van de latere artiesten in dit genre wordt op dit album bij lange na nog niet gehaald. Het is vooral nog vrij eentonig, maar omdat dit het eerste is wat ik ken in een genre dat ik toch erg waardeer, geef ik het een extra halve ster. Kom ik op 2,5. Zelf vond ik het dus wel leuk voor één keer. Ik zou alleen niet weten waarom dit in een lijst staat die iedereen moet horen. Ik ken genoeg mensen die hier nooit naar moeten luisteren.

Post-apocalyptische van dik hout zaagt men planken muziek. Als drummer hoef je niet zoveel te kunnen, als je maar in 1 tempo kunt stampen. Typerende zang alsof hij door een megafoon staat te schreeuwen. De meeste mensen zullen dit heel simpel in 1 woord omschrijven: pokkeherrie. Ik ben wel wat gewend, maar die snelle nummers vind ik ook pokkeherrie. De wat langzamere nummers zit wel een bepaalde groove in en met die gitaarsolo's eroverheen maakt het wel de moeite waard. Ik heb geloof ik 1x op een festival een stukje van ze gezien, of nou ja gezien, meer gehoord, van een kilometer afstand. Het geluid stond op standje straaljager, een hele colonne straaljagers wel te verstaan. Typisch een band om gehoorschade bij op te lopen.

a few good tracks but overall a very weak effort

Super intense and spiked with creative outbursts to the Süds within this brutalist industrial outfit. Favorite: Scarecrow ! 3.5

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.

Not bad but most of the time I was thinking that I should be listening Rammstein or other metal band instead. Guitars were pretty good but sometimes vocal is too harsh

Turned it off after 2 songs, not for me.

Interesting album Industrial rock/metal not my cup of tea found it hard to enjoy this album

One of the reviews characterized this as theomockery. Great term. The thought of +1 for that entered my mind but then quickly exited.

I remember that in the 80s I thought there would be a market (at least in our record collection) for music that mixed heavy guitars, electronic beats and voice samples, but stuff like Ministry, Front 242, Skinny Puppy & The Revolting Cocks was too abrasive to listen to in anything but the smallest doses. 30 years later, go figure, my perspective seems to have changed. I like the voice sampling in the opening track, the manic guitar and psychotic screaming on TV II, the speed metal of Hero and Jesus Built my Hot-rod and the gothic grandeur of the title track, Psalm 69, though the goofy spoken word segments at the intro almost ruin it. Normally I hate metal and industrial rock, but I like the mood and melody under all this mess. I can see myself listening to this on a bicycle trainer on a gloomy winter day.

Well this band has evolved quite a bit over the years. In the early 80's their debut album With Sympathy was basically a Brit synth pop clone with the dance hit Work for love. Wiki informs that they record company wanted them to sound like Wham! and Jourgenson even adopted a fake British accent. Their sound started to harden over time and in 87 they released the bangers like Everyday is like halloween and All day. On their next album - Land of rape and honey they really got aggressive with Stigmata which IMO is probably the most listenable industrial single ever. On their next album, the Mind is a terrible thing to waste I think they really went whole hog into speed industrial death metal sound with jackhammering guitars/drums and hyper aggressive vocals. Which brings us to this album. I can't say it was a fun listen and I know I'll sound like an old fart when I say that I liked them better back in the day.

Great Industrial metal album! I was really surprised with how much I enjoyed this album and it has its own sound that is unique to it from the bands other songs and just when it comes to metal in general. It really has that 90's sound to it and this falls above albums like Closer for me.

love it

Not to judge a book by its cover but just reading the Wikipedia extract I feel like I'm going to really not like this.... Yeah not keen this morning.

Off-beat metal

metal

Wel leuk eindelijk wat hardere muziek te hebben in deze lijst, maar verder was dit niet heel bijzonder. Veel goede riffs, maar weinig variatie. Ook de vocals waren redelijk eentonig. Maar vooruit, 3 sterren.

Reading this horrendous/amazing album title, I had high expectations of the weirdness of the record. It lived up to the name - what a ride! Don't think I'll ever put it on again though, especially not if I'm around other people.

Al Jourgensen, you terrifically weird man. Everything about this is pure chaos and insanity; from the bonkers album title to the production and general songwriting. This feels utterly inhuman. And, somehow, we’re all better for it. I still don’t get how Bill Rieflin went from drumming on this to semi-joining R.E.M. in 2003. What a career move!

I feel violated.... my ears have been raped and buggered. Maura summed this album up beautifully in three words... that's bloody awful!!!

A bit too industrial and angry for me.

Gloriously silly. Jesus built my hotrod the most fun think I've listened to in ages. Loved it! Some songs too samey for five but may be unfair as suspect in this genre that's part of the point.

Genres: Industrial metal Formed: Run time: 9 songs, 44 min 43 sec ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ (commonly known as Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs or simply Psalm 69). Someone has spent far too much time incorporating the number 69 into the name and album. Very clever and all, but really? You’ll get a snigger from a teenager (perhaps) but no one else is going to give it a second thought. I bet this sounds amazing with the volume cranked up high. The bass, the speed and energy are incredible. I imagine the fans are called hardcore and drink Red Bull. I can see it would be great to listen to if you had shit to get done and no time to do it! Or perhaps to accompany a high intensity work out. I’m afraid Industrial metal isn’t something I’m interested in. I can’t even imagine it being an acquired taste. I suppose it like any type of music, it’s either your thing or it isn’t. That said, I’ve listened a second time and am enjoying it more…

A treasure of psychobilly.

Before today, I had heard of the song Jesus Built My Hotrod, but didn't know who sang it. Conveniently, that song is on this record. Ministry are an industrial metal band, whose sound is In line with other such acts of the early 90's as: White Zombie, Godsmack, or Marilyn Manson. By times, their music is straight thrash/speed metal with sampling throughout (this is where it reminds me of Godsmack). There is a constant electronic/industrial vibe throughout as well, and the lead singers vocals are fuzzy and distorted. By times the distortion/screaming made the lyrics hard to understand, but overall it gave a doom metal kind of vibe to the whole thing. This album touched on topics such as, most notably, organized religion. The song Psalm 69 didn't pull any punches in this regard with such lyrics as: "The body of Christ looked unto me A preacher with God-given hands He wants you to suck on the Holy Ghost And swallow the sins of man" I thought from the start that the familiar song Jesus Built My Hotrod would win for my favourite song on the album, but the song Hero was a classic speed/thrash metal song with a surprisingly deep message about war. Overall, an average listen today. I can see how this music was instrumental in influencing many bands to come, it's just not something I would gravitate to every day. The song Scare Crow was ~8:30 long, and most of that was just a heavy electronic beat sustained for 3 minutes at a time with 30 second lyrical breaks. The constant looping beat just lulls you into a trance more than anything I found, because nothing else changed. No tempo changes, or guitar solos, just 3 minutes of the same looping beat. Had these long breaks been omitted, this album would probably have scored higher with me. Favourite songs: Hero, Psalm 69, Jesus Built My Hotrod, N.W.O., Just One Fix Least favourite song: TV II 3/5

Starting to think these aren’t actually psalms…

This was another band I had never heard of. I listened through to it twice today. I liked it! I didn't like when the band was actually singing (too growly), but I really liked the music and when they would have looped audio of people saying particular phrases. Looking at the lyrics, they are pretty intense and full of commentary. We Live In A Society. It really is like speed metal, industrial, and psychobilly, just like the album description on this site said. It's fast and frenetic, good for working or running, probably. I think my faves are "N.W.O" and "Hero," but I can honestly say at this point in my familiarity with this album, a lot of the songs sounded similar.

Head banging

nope!!!!

I just don't respond to this aggro industrial stuff. It doesn't speak to me in any way, shape or form. Repetitive noise that's more likely to give me a pounding headache than anything. A few thrashy grooves here and there that I can get behind, but the screaming and the distortion is just so unpleasant to me that I have a hard time looking past it and focusing on the more technically impressive aspects.

i didnt expect to like a trashmetal album, jesus built my hotrod is amazing and the other songs are also more creative than i expected

First 2 songs kick. It falls off from there.

Didn’t like.

Maybe it's just not my thing, but nothing stood out about this album. Seemed a bit childish at points as well.

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.

çA faisait logntemps que nous n'avions pas eu affaire à de joyeux gueulards, ceux-ci étaient particulièrement joyeux, ce qui leur vaut la note de 2/5.

comecou bem

Jesus Built My Hotrod was very enjoyable when I first heard it 30 years ago, but I didn't like this album a lot when I bought it new in 1992. Thirty years on, it's just a heavy drone with an industrial drum beat. It's just not my thing.

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...

No time for a fuller review, but in short: 1. I can see how this band was an influence on Kinderschmerzen! 2. Not really my thing - all those one chord songs (without the compensation of a funky groove) just bore me.

I bought the Jesus Built My Hotrod CD maxi single sometime in the early 90’s & have never stopped loving it. It contains the Redline/Whiteline version of the song, which, at 8:11, is considerably longer than the album version. The guest vocal by Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes is to die for. The CD single also contains a version of TV Song, but, until today, I had never heard the rest of the album. I love the frenetic approach of the music. The devil voice that recurs is somewhat annoying, but, in the end, doesn’t really detract from the impetus created by the music. The title track is a winner. In fact, I really enjoyed the whole disc. And I love the fact that Paul Barker’s nom-de-plume as co-producer was Hermes Pan - the genius who choreographed 17 of Fred Astaire’s films.

This records gets me really fired up. It gives me as much of an adrenaline thrill as it did when it first came out. I love the industrial repetitiveness, the crunchy guitars, metronomic beats, angry yelling, all undercut with sarcasm and humour (most notably on Jesus Built My Hotrod). It takes me back to the early 90s, when this was on constant rotation in my share house, and was a key inspiration for my own industrial band. I love this record. It's the best industrial metal album of all time (with the possible exception of the 1990 live Ministry album). There's not really any _songs_ on this album; it is just one monstrous beat with slight variations on the same one-chord speed metal riff played across the whole album sprinkled with distorted yelling and the occasional sample. By the end of the album, they have even run out of yelling. It is a simple and repetitive idea, but it sure gets my blood pumping. I saw them touring this album at Selinas in January 1995, and they were tight and heavy and just what you'd expect them to be like. Awesome! Does everyone need to hear and love this album? No, they don't. It doesn't contain much to say about the human condition (except for the thrilling power of anger). The years have not been kind to Al Jourgensen and his crew of industrial outlaws; the hard living (especially hard drug use) has killed or enfeebled most of them. Uncle Al himself is a bit of a joke these days and time has rendered the rebellious posturing of Ministry to be a bit of a Pyrrhic victory. I'm not sure it has all dated well. At least this album isn't as bad, mostly, as the unfortunately titled 'Land of Rape and Honey' record from 1988. But I love it. It gets me all excited.

Very much not my type of music. I did not enjoy it, but it's not fair to give it a 1-star since I think it does have some quality, just not really any that I can appreciate. 3/10

Las bases del metal industrial, si te gusta Slipknot vas a encontrar muchos recursos en los que se inspiraron.

Not bad; I enjoyed the title track. Has hints of Rammstein and Marilyn Manson - Perhaps they were inspired by Ministry?

Sounds like how someone who never listens to any metal would describe it the genre. Fast, gruff, weird. Leans heavily into religious aspects complete with recordings and choirs. Very intentional drama I'd give 1.5 if I could, but I'll round up for significance

I turned this on with some trepidation but it was actually quite a fun listen. Mad genre, no idea how people get into it but hey, it's part of music's rich tapestry.

JUST MORE NOISE ROCK.I kinda liked it .Not amazing..Just never came together for me.Wish I could rate it like 2.5 stars.

Well, that was fun!

Niet onaardig. Doorwerkmuziek. Soms wat meer trash metal, soms wat meer industrieel. Een beetje Rammstein ("Just One Fix") en Marilyn Manson ("Scare Crow", "Psalm 69") kun je er zeker in terugvinden. Het grootste minpunt vind ik de productie. Het is redelijk plat en schel gemixt. Dit soort muziek wil je graag wat harder zetten, maar dit album wordt dan gewoon vervelend omdat het zo schel is. Vooral de lead gitaar en de drums zijn kapot gemaakt. De bassdrum klinkt soms alsof je met een houten lepel tegen een hangend velletje bakpapier aan slaat ("TV II"). Ik was van plan om drie sterren te geven, maar toen kwamen de twee laatste nummers van het album nog. De mannen waren moe en hadden geen zin meer, maar toch moest er nog 8 minuten gevuld worden. Had dat maar niet gedaan. Bagger einde. 2 sterren.

Ministry is a band I've heard about a lot and Al Jourgensen's iconic look is hard to not notice but I've never listened to their music. You could put a gun to my head and I can't name a single song. This has changed after listening to the album. The opening track "N.W.O" opens strong with a heavy industrial sound and the second song "Just One Fix" amplifies it. The guitar riffs could easily come from a Rammstein album except that this was released 3 years before Rammstein's debut album! Then "TV II" starts playing and changes the direction to some kind of speed metal to my disappointment as the previous two tracks were so good. However the rest of the songs on the album are bangers and it's just "TV II" that was a low point. This is probably an album that doesn't go well with a lot of people. It's a 4/5 for me but there's better industrial metal and definitely better metal albums out there.

There were definitely issues (some tunes were lackluster, too repetitive) but i actually found this to be a really fun album. Also it helps it can be pretty funny. Jesus built my hotrod was the definite highlight though. A decent record.

I mean, it was fairly decent heavy metal. Overall pretty average

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

Fuck the establishment. No notes.

N.W.O and Jesus Built My Hotrod are both bangers

Big fan, love this album, no favourite tracks, it's all good.

An automatic 5 from me - I've loved Ministry in general and this album in particular since my teens. (Though I reckon "Filth Pig" edges it out for the title of fave album) I love the brutal battery of the fast songs, I love the portentous atmosphere of the slow songs, I love the incorporation of samples and Gibby Hayes glossolalia, I love it all! Fave track - "N.W.O." or "Just One Fix" or "TV II" or "Jesus Built My Hotrod" from the fast category, "Scarecrow" from the slow category...

Saw these guys opening for Death Grips and it was the cringiest shit, and that was at a Death Grips concert. Just seems like something I would've loved in elementary school if I was a bit older (not a compliment).

Not for me

Meh-tal -- you like that one Nolan? Nolan: Yuh

Not really my cup of tea but i appreciate the music

Good rhythms, very thrash-like. Clear satirical approach to contemporary Christian metal just by the album title alone, lyrics are as expected - sinister, ominous. Enjoyed most of the guitars (especially the aggression), but the vocals just aren't my cup of tea with it so fuzzed and unclear.

Influenced Rob Zombie?

industrial

Sort of like a cross between peak era Metallica, Big Black (and Nine Inch Nails?). A very industrial, nihilistic sound overall with a little bit of techno and hip-hop thrown in for good measure via the interesting use of samples and general electronic wizardry. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

This album is so industrial, grease flooded out while I played it

I know two tracks from Ministry. One is "(Every Day Is) Halloween" from an earlier era in the band's development. The other track I am familiar with is "Jesus Built My Hotrod" from this album: KE*A*H** (Psalm 69), which is well into the thrash metal version of the band. This album feels like an influence on Rob Zombie, with a bit of Metalica thrown in here and there. These bands, metal and psychobilly are not what I would choose to listen to. A solid 2, but probably a 1 if I had to listen to the whole album again.

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.

Not bad, but not really what I'm looking for in industrial metal

ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ - commonly known as Psalm 69 - is the fifth album by American industrial metal band Ministry. Psalm 69 was a critical and commercial success upon release, and is considered to be Ministry's most successful album, having been certified gold in Canada and Australia, and platinum in the US. This thrashy industrial metal was interesting to listen to. It wasn't bad - in fact the production was good, but it's not my particular music taste. Metal fans should love this album.

I can very much see how people are into this

Beats ass. Never thought I would be into industrial but this very enjoyable throughout.

Loud and hard. 2.5

Industrial icons, a little bracing for a Sunday morning but really good.

I'm really enjoying the music itself, but the vocals have been a bit difficult to listen to. I'm interested in listening to their other discography as I'm a fan of Industrial music.

Omg

no ty x

So many amazing albums from the first half of the 90s. This isn't one of them.

Weird, silly, not amazing

Epico

Geez okay guys

iz okay

Screaming backed by noise. Never understood the appeal of this type of music. Cool album cover, though.

I'm team "Make Ministry Synth Again" (With Sympathy is one of the best synth-goth albums of all-time), but I appreciate Ministry's industrial era. It's not my favorite, but Jesus Built My Hotrod is a classic. 3.5 P.S. Uncle Al, you're a weenie for turning your back on your synth roots. You were so great with that fake British accent. Good times.

I've heard this album so many times. It's definitely a favourite from times gone but. Holds up for sure. Gonna slide a few long neglected favourites into my playlists.

Loud and angry, sampleicious metal. Lots of fun but more so live, I think. Some of the tracks go on a bit. Jesus Built My Hotrod a highlight.

\m/

Not bad...

I hate this so much

spooky vibe, wel cool album!

Was iets te ruig imo haha

This was a fun listen.

so much stronger than i remember, this is actually downright classic; almost as good as The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste.

Industrial is not for me. I’m uninterested, as always in the hardcore/metal vein, in the various permutations of shouty/screechy/growly vocals. And the content here - I’m not offended by the “extreme blasphemy” kick, but it’s fairly boring as transgressive attitudes go.

Jjn

Eh. Interesting enough at first, but quickly became repetitive.

Good heavy guitars, but the music isn't that pleasant to listen to, and is incredibly repetitive.

Didn't care much for the thrash riffs in many of the songs.

Jeez!!!

Heavy pounding rock , ok for dancing or running, not listening quietly!

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.

This album was well put-together and orchestrated, but ultimately, the anti-religious messaging was very dated and distracting. Yeah, organized religion and Christianity kinda suck... ok. That aside, there were some fascinating rhythmic choices and the guitars chugged along the whole time. While the music is solid, I just can't help but be distracted by all the atheistic fervor of a pedantic middle school contrarian.

3.5.... but in this case Jesus might not have built MY hotrod, but it definitely pushed this up to a 4.

okkk c'Est ca du Industrial Metal.. Je n'ai pas porté attention aux paroles. Cependant certain riff rentrait vraiment bien. Psalm 69, c'es vraiment metal. J'aime bien. Sinon je comprend que certain album de ce genre soit sur cette liste, mais à mon gout, pas un grand facteur de réécoute... Ca vaut quand même un 3

Terrible! Yuck! Devil music!!

Not a fan of this. The only decent thing about it was the guitars/drums.

Glad I know it exists.

Wack

It was weird and fun, and kind of enjoyable.

Did you wake up and choose anger? Want to listen to a rejected Doom soundtrack? Do you enjoy thrash metal skate shred punk house? This is for you

Really chaotic energy here that feels like a reflection of the frontman. Listening again all of the tracks were distinct/memorable (other than the last two instrumental songs) and could be picked out as a good representation of the genre. Favorite: Jesus Built My Hotrod

Classic 90s hard rock… not for me.

Never heard of this band, or given the time of day to this genre but what an introduction. Will certainly listen again soon.

Not me

Необычный альбом. В нём что-то есть. Мне нравятся экспериментальные композиции.

Not my thing but a decent sense of fun and weirdness kept me listening to the end. I’m no expert on the genre but it feels pretty advanced for the early 90, probably had an influence on things to come.

Una bona banda sonora de l'apocalipsis. Transmet més del que sembla a primera vista. Tot i tenir pinta de ser un exercici anàrquic de soroll i ira, hi ha moltes capes, riffs, canvis de ritme, etc que el fan una obra interessant... i molt precursora del que serien els '90

Just what I expected after looking at the album cover. Getting some Metallica and Rammstein vibes. Pretty solid throughout, except for the last two tracks.

Not for me

Not great

Good energy, but it does get a bit monotonous

Intensely textural

Not my cup of tea at all .

It's early industrial metal, you can really tell where NIN/Linkin Park/etc got their inspiration from. It's gritty, punchy, hits hard and I loved it. It's only not getting a 5 because there are some duff tracks, but a highlight was Jesus built my hotrod.

3/10. Didn't really enjoy it much

A stomach-churning level of terribleness. Almost indescribably abrasive on my ears and I feel worse for having listened to it. 1/10

A little aggressive for my taste. I can see the appeal though.

Mezcla a la par entre industrial y algo de techno. Canciones con intensidad y sucesión de estilos en su interior. Para animarse, sin duda. Es como me esperaba y no me ha desagradado del todo

Hard core. Interesting. I like it in general, but not really something I'd listen to often. 2.5

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.

I don't know I guess this album was something different that shocked a lot of people back in 1992. They had some cool-sounding riffs, but they just kept playing them over and over and over and over and over. Eventually it started to bore me and I was hoping for something new with each song but it never really happened.

Not my favorite album or genre, but I appreciate it!

Enjoyed the instrumentals for the most part but really disliked the vocals to a point where it puts me off wanting to re listen to any songs

Hard driving, dark and grimy. Really effective use of loops, static, noise. Did I mention this freaking rocks? Brilliant. Fave Songs: N.W.O., Jesus Built My Hotrod, Hero, Scarecrow, Just One Fix

metal muito distorcido

Awesome. Powerful metal

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

Aggressive. Sounds like video game music. Very danceable grooves. Must have been a genre-defining album upon its release.

this album is so heavy it hurts love ministry this is their best one

Much better than I expected,

Un essentiel à connaître du métal industriel.

This is not my usual music, though a dear friend of mine believes 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' is the high watermark of western music. I liked it a lot more than I expected. The motorik rhythms coupled with nihilistic lyrics and crunching guitars works for me!

Great metal but not my genre

Heavy as hell, but with tunes and lyrics. Catchier than I expected, with no compromise on their aims.

Monotonous, repetitive, dreary. Used to like old school heavy metal but this stuff leaves me cold. Scare Crow the only redeeming song, possibly because it has a slower tempo and is reminiscent of Black Sabbath

Idk, enjoy ministry more than I should probably. Guilty pleasure maybe.

some very fast drums and excellent guitar playing at times but overall I hated it

Best Song: Jesus Built My Hotrod. Now see, this is exactly the kind of silliness I appreciate in a metal album. Leaning fully into the "scatting" works well here at utilizing the metal vocals as an "instrument", but even still it gravitates a bit too close to Kid Rock's "bawitdaba" here. Worst Song: TV II. Everything here comes off very flat, and the repeated stopping and starting means the song never feels like it has room to take off. Overall: I like metal, but I've never heard this before. Very industrial. Feels like excellent music to work out with, preferably under a dilapidated bridge or in an actively working factory. Like a lot of this sub-genre though, it really just functions as this continuous, vaguely aggressive background music without ever stepping outside itself to provide you with anything that really grasps your attention.

bullshits

Industrial funcionou bem em um álbum completo.

I like a bunch of songs, mostly the first half of the album. It's like 3.5* to me.

I've been craving something heavy lately and this somewhat filled the void. Some good stuff in here, but also a lot of very short repeated loops and annoying background noises that distract from the goodness.

ding a ding dang my dang along ling long! Funny, what I considered grating noise and shouty with Mudhoney did not apply to this. Enjoyed this! It may have helped that I was driving at the time so it made the drive more fun.

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 isn't really my kind of thing, but it's alright so far, given that fact. It's really just the singing that I'm not super into. Like, the guitar is cool, especially on Just One Fix; and actually the singing on this one isn't as bad. But then, other songs are just kind of yelling over frantic guitar (looking at you, TV II). I feel a bit torn here; parts of this I do kind of like, and I feel like I want to like it, but somehow it doesn't quite do it? I dunno....

This was bad. I did not enjoy any parts of it.

Nope.

Ding a ling dang my ding a long ling long. 4

Interesting but not something I can see myself coming back to very often

Quite noisy. Early industrial.. my ears are bleeding after a while

Just don't dig electronica of any genre

Pretty damn good album. I remember when this was released - I bought the CD after seeing Al Jourgenson interviewed by Rikki Rachtman on MTV’s Headbangers Ball. You could tell Al thought Rikki was not as cool as he wanted him to be. Probably the best industrial metal album of all time. Love NWO and Just One Fix - that video featuring William S Burroughs is pretty cool too. The blind pigs at the “1001 albums” keyboard seem to have found an acorn!

want to give it a 4 because metal, but only a few songs are worth listening to.

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

Didnt dislike but not something i would probably put on to listen to

2.5

Industrial early 90s rock. There's artists in this category I love. I doubt this group will ever be one of them. They commit the worst offense possible for the genre - it's just boring.

There are times when I'm pretty sure that "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" is the greatest song of all time, those times are usually whenever I hear it.

Un peu intense pour faire la vaisselle... Pas un fan du genre. Je connaissais just one fix pcq le clip mettait en vedette William Burroughs et j'ai trippé pas mal sur son cas. Corrosion est intéressante, sinon je trouve ça pas mal redondant, les distos sont rasoir à souhait, ça manque de bass et les solos plus 80s à la slash m'énervent au plus haut point. J'aime bien quand le drum passe en mode rate dans le tapis type électro t-t-t-trrrrrrrrrr mais ça me fera pas écouter cet album plus souvent

Ce n’est pas l’album que je croyais que ce serait. C’est plutôt hétérogène comme entité. Je m’attendais en fait à ce que tout ressemble à Psalm 69, qui me répugne au plus haut point. Finalement, on est épragné pour la majeure partie du reste. J’entend ici une influence pour Nine Inch Nail et Tool. Ça ne fait pas un grand album pour autant. Les pièces sont plutôt linéaire et un peu plates.

On est vraiment niché et dans la marge pour cet album, mais on a ici un des albums essentiel du genre metal industriel. Probablement l'album le plus influent et important du groupe. Cet album a sûrement joué souvent aux Foufs. Oui on est dans du métal, mais c'est intéressant aussi les couches sonores ajoutées à la musique, l'ajout de sampling de dialogues et les références musicales un peu partout. Dans Just One Fix, il y a un clin d'Oeil en background à Slayer avec le riff de South Of Heaven dans la dernière minute de la chanson. TV II dans son intro sonne un peu comme le début d'Iron Man (peut-être moins voulue celle-là). Sur la pièce Scare Crow, à 1:30 de la fin de la pièce, on retrouve un clin d'oeil au riff emblématique de la pièce How Soon Is Now? du groupe The Smiths. Il ne faut pas oublier aussi que c'est paru en 1992. La conception sonore et la manipulation et distorsion de sampling se faisait de façon très différente qu'aujourd'hui avec les ordinateurs. Jesus Built My Hotrod est probablement la pièce la plus connue et la plus importante du groupe. Ce n'est pas une écoute de tous les jours. C'est un album à connaître, mais pour mon appréciation, je préfère des artistes un peu moins intense comme Rob Zombie et plus recherchés comme Nine Inch Nails. Pièce préférée: Jesus Built My Hotrod

Unique blend of thrash metal and industrial music. I think anyone who liked NIN would love this album. I liked the heaviness a lot actually, but most the songs felt little bit too repetitive for me. An enjoyable listen, but I probably won't return; I've got plenty of heavy music that is a little more interesting to me. But the musical chops were there; the rhythm section is awesome. I thought the second half was better. I think my favorite song was Scarecrow, that song felt apocalyptic. Also Psalm 69 was worth remembering, those "Oh Fortuna" style vocals at the beginning with the metal guitar was fantastic; didn't like the sexual lyrics at all though, just the music. I can get behind devilish lyrics but I've never liked sexual lyrics. This song would horrify my parents.

C'est pas pire. Il y a une certaine qualité musicale, mais les sauts constants de genre sont weird. Pas les compositions les plus impressionnantes non plus

Firstly, to explain the title: it stems from an Aleister Crowley poem about 69ing, and let's be honest, is of no great profundity. The band were often just dicking about, and with that stance of dicking about is how best to approach this album. Ministry are usually classed as industrial metal (leaning more towards metal), two terms which scare off plenty of the weaker-bowelled. That said, they also bore off plenty who find both industrial and metal infantile and predictable. As for me, this album represents one of the better combinations of both, where the industrial harshness actually boosts the fun of metal. Specifically, this album is at its best when it reminds one of Motörhead, when it embraces the hard, fast, rough, loose rock n roll Lemmy championed. Occasionally the album gets ponderous, when they forget they're meant to be fribbling about and instead try to play as if the indecipherable lyrics meant something. But none of those instances really taint the album, and the discerning listener should cheerily ignore those parts. It will not at all persuade anyone ill-disposed to metal, but that's no reason for anyone to get upset.

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.

Loud, messy, bad recording quality, hardly a song structure, an album to forget

Well was prepared tobjate this album, but I didn't. The shouting vocals are something I will never get used to but the musc; fast, full and dramatic made up for it. I did get a little bored at the last couple of songs so I would say best served in small doses. 3.5 🌟

nennis 😊

Fun!

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.

Para ser la primera vez que escucho a esta banda, estuvo piola 10/10

Never been a fan of Ministry… did not listen.. sorry

Bit much for me overall but liked most of the guitar riffs

A bit all over the shop, that type of metal/industrial that really does very little for me.

My favorite Ministry album, very solid with hits.

Nope…..

NWO kicked absolute ass as an opening song but I found d myself skipping the entire rest of the album. I've never heard of this band and I know quite a few metal groups so I wonder if NWO was a one hit wonder or something. Much more mainstream than the rest of the album which felt more like something of a mishmash between Metallica, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie.

Definite change of pace! We don't get a lot of metal albums, and I'm not complaining since I generally don't love the genre, but it's a nice break. This one's got a vulgar energy to it, not necessary vulgar lyrics, but just feels nasty. Overall it fits outside of the kinds of metal I do like, maybe a little too heavy for me. But I liked a couple tracks, and I appreciate that this band has a sense of humor. "Jesus Built My Hotrod" is funny to read, and I love the pun in the subtitle of the album: the way to succeed and the way to suck eggs. But ultimately not one for me. Favorite tracks: Corrosion, NWO. Album art: Appropriately grimy and incomprehensible. A nude angel in the middle? Hard to see. I kind of like it though. 2/5

Another favorite of mine. Masterpiece of industrial metal.

Man, it's been a long time since I've heard these guys. Damn they shred. Good shit.

lots of yelling, not a lot of singing

Another formative record from my teens, this is an album that has not been tarnished by time in my ears. Ministry is what I imagined all metal music sounded like to people who didn't listen to a lot of it; fast, cheesy, repetitive, and blasphemous. NWO, Just One Fix, and Hero are still monster tracks to me. Jesus Built My Hotrod is such a stupid, awesome song, and Gibby Haynes' gibberish vocals are always great. Wow; so in TV II, only now after 30 years have I realized Al is saying "connect the goddamn dots" and not "connect the goddamn darts"; lol, yeah, I dunno.

never listened to this. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Highlights: Just One Fix Corrosion Scare Crow (I knew this one from Inter Arma cover) 4/5

Mechanical and dirty. Just One Fix is sick and pulls off having the same riff for 5 minutes by having loads of interesting effects all over the place. Jesus Built My Hotrod is one of the only Ministry songs I really knew beforehand but is such an off-the-wall banger. Scare Crow is a nice atmospheric change of pace. The sampling overall is fittingly dark. Some very strange production choices (not in a bad way). Highly enjoyable to me.

After nu, the metal subgenre I struggled to get into the most was industrial. I had a serious chip on my shoulder about synths in my heavy music for some reason, although I took to Type O right away and Neurosis eventually became one of my favorite bands. I never got the hype for Nine Inch Nails, and still don’t, while I only slightly understand Ministry a little better. I say that I liked Ministry better because I loved how batshit “Jesus Built My Hotrod” is, but most of their other stuff tends to rank as mid for me. And that’s still mostly true, but I have grown an appreciation for the singles. Otherwise, this all sounds pretty samey to me, and I don’t see myself coming back to it anytime soon. But points for being a relatively brisk 45 minutes. C-, could lose the minus depending on my mood

Not bad. Had some heavy moments that were interesting, but it also wasn't really keeping my attention in a lot of places.

Ministry’s best record. P69 is an industrial classic that should get more credit for inspiring (for better or worse) a ton of nu metal, too (Rammstein, Rob Zombie, AHC, etc.). I really love this album, it’s got an undeniable intensity and in-your-faceness that’s cheese-tinged in all the right ways – importantly, sans the whole goth element that seemed to seep in elsewhere in the scene at the time (not that I don’t love goth stuff, but this has a whole different flavor from say, Skinny Puppy or NIN). The production is great, super hard hitting drums, thrashy, crunchy guitars (why not lift some Slayer?), great samples, stellar variety in tempo and style, and sequencing that makes this nothing short of binge-able. It’s fuckin’ raw without short changing listeners on all the good stuff. 4.5/5

Radical

Some okay parts but most of the album was loud messy music that I didn’t get or like

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Industrial metal. Not my cup of tea.

There are some genuinely interesting ideas and musical moments on here, they're just a bit washed out due to overlong arrangements. A bit of editing to cut the fat would've made this a 3-4 star album; as is, it's a bit of a slog to take in all at once.

I have nothing against Ministry, was just never my thing. The whole industrial gothy metal scene is all a bit much, innit? This album starts strong and stays there. Ministry is legendary at what they do for a reason. Glad I actually sat down and really listened to this one. Now I will know what all my edgy friends with dyed jet black hair are going on about just a little bit better, I suppose.

A little loud and extreme for me.

So-so

Instrumentals were pretty banging for the most part, like the ambience and samples but the vocals did not do it for me

They were better as a synth pop band

Brilliant speed and rhythms. A little more separation in the mix for lead guitars wouldn’t have harmed, but still a thrill a minute.

Kinda fucking weird, but I finished it. 2.5 cuz it had moments

Metal is my second most hated genre after country, so went in with trepidation but determined to give it a try. First song hated and almost turned it off, but next few started to get into it a bit. Still got bored with samey tunes by the end. 2.4

Brilliant

Proper mosh pit music. Reminds me of being in Metros, Cardiff. It's not the sort of music I would choose to listen to at home, but played loud in a night club, it's intensity comes across. I hate this style of style of singing and I can't really understand what he is saying. I'm guessing the songs are not about nice things like visiting Grandma or eating ice cream! Production is good mind.

F**k yeah! Jesus built my hot rod, ding a ling ling!

Good quality industrial sounds. I never had this album in 92 but probably would have loved it. Sounds a bit dated now.

I do like a bit of industrial thrashy nonsense every now and then but this was just shouty shite

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

Setting has a lot to do with the listening experience. 20-something me would have loved this at a thrash metal night club, but 40-something me, listening whilst doing the dishes, it's a bit much. Though I did give those dirty saucepans a bloody hard scrub! 🤘

Full of energy and competence

Grow up

Dont normally listen to is metal, but I enjoyed a few of the songs from the album.

intense!

This records gets me really fired up. It gives me as much of an adrenaline thrill as it did when it first came out. I love the industrial repetitiveness, the crunchy guitars, metronomic beats, angry yelling, all undercut with sarcasm and humour (most notably on Jesus Built My Hotrod). It takes me back to the early 90s, when this was on constant rotation in my share house, and was a key inspiration for my own industrial band. I love this record. It's the best industrial metal album of all time (with the possible exception of the live Ministry album that came out around the same time). Does everyone need to hear and love this album? No, they don't. it doesn't contain much to say about the human condition (except for the thrilling power of anger). But I love it. It gets me fired up.

Reminds me of the heavy metal nights at Jilly's rockworld. Absolute shite. 1 - The worst kind of metal

Metal. I enjoyed the album.
