It's rare to see someone react to Ministry songs at all, but here you did a whole album AND enjoyed it. You're truly a gem Molly! This is in my favorite trilogy of Ministry albums: Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Psalm 69. I recommend them all. Also, Skinny Puppy are the kings of industrial to me, but they sure took a while for me to get used to. Like other said, Rabies is a good start, but my favorite is Too Dark Park.

Al Jorgensen brought him in to record vocals, and when Gibby got there, he was so drunk he couldn’t stand up.

When jourgensen actually got a pay check he just uppped his drug dosage and well if you hadn't heard anything before you were likely tickled with the bullshit he pushed out forever after and never recognized the shit that inspired NIN or marilyn manson. It's fucking sad but this alubulm should have been a launching point but instead it was the line where al just got really fucking rich and high. Just look at all his collaborations afterwards with his old buddies.... oh wait he didn't do those anymore, instead he made a couple shit albulms while trent reznor and marilyn manson took over the industrial scene and inspired literally no one else? I mean how to destroy angels maybe but that was just trent making an album for his girfrliend.

I saw Ministry live in SF in 2015 for what was supposed to be their farewell tour. (Al has died four times so far and always come back but one of these days it might actually “take.” The joke is that Heaven doesn’t want him and the Devil doesn’t want the competition.) It was literally, without exaggeration, the single *loudest* thing I have ever experienced-and I’ve stood in an underground concrete train yard between two running diesel locomotives. (Northwest Station in Chicago.) The first song literally shook the carbonation out of my wife’s beer, it started fizzy and went flat in three minutes *just from the sound*. Any time they tour, I go. The 2017 show wasn’t *quite* as loud, but as a 30th Anniversary show for “The Land of Rape and Honey” with a live performance of the entire album plus a lot of current songs it was just incredible. If you haven’t listened to it, I strongly suggest that album for a reaction as well. A friend of mine said, the track “Stigmata,” “I can feel my hearing impairing!”

Yes, indeed, most industrial metal bands have a common thing about their sound, they are very danceable and often keep the same rhythm throughout the song, but at the same time, I would not say that they sound monotonous (at least not in a bad sense of the word). It is a very catchy music genre. And yes, this genre does use a lot of samples. It's funny that you noticed about the militaristic sound - there is even a separate subgenre, martial industrial, where the whole sound is built around militaristic marches and aesthetics. If you are interested in listening to something similar, I strongly advise you to listen to Front Line Assembly (especially their albums from the 90s), KMFDM (also something from the 90s or early 2000s), and I also HIGHLY recommend the album "Concentration" by Machines of Loving Grace. This is a very cool industrial-rock album, maybe not as heavy as Ministry, but very catchy and enjoyable, somewhat similar to Nine Inch Nails - definitely a must-listen. Also, you can try something heavier, for example, Godflesh or Fear Factory.

They came on after dark (of course) and when they played Scarecrow it was up there with one of my favorite live concert experiences ever. The hypnotic drone of the song paired with strobe lights created a sort of time lapse slide show of the thousands of people around me dancing/headbanging, most of them shirtless and with long hair. Images that will be burned into my mind forever, such a mood. It was almost like I was witnessing a zombie apocalypse, lol.

You've just got to cover Ministry's utterly atypical first album, With Sympathy.

That’s why Ministry is so good, random songs that sound nothing alike. Only Trent and Al can do this and do it so well, Industrial Lives!

"The way to succeed and the way to suck eggs" Succeed = suck seed Suck seed and suck eggs Psalm SIXTY-NINE It comes from chapter 69 from spiritualist Aleister Crowley's Book of Lies which is all thinly veiled references to sex magick.

"The way to succeed and the way to suck eggs" is distinct and clear link to the album title as being the subtitle to Psalm 69 from Alistair Crowley's Book of Lies It can be read as "the way to suck seed and the way to suck eggs" . If you consider the number in question, it makes sense.

One neat fact. On the track pslam 69 the sample at the end when a guys yells "Stop it!" That was taken from the Dario Argento movie Suspiria.

I adore this album. The riffs, the sampling, the effects.. Always have to be careful not to damage my hearing whenever I listen to it. Hope you enjoyed it, Ministry is definitely a specific taste. I know whenever I listen to it, I feel, like my heart is being touched by Christ.. 😈

Hi Molly! I love how enthusiastic you are about getting into different music. I’d bet it was your My Bloody Valentine video that got me watching your channel as I’m a huge fan. Ministry is great yes, and just the tip of the iceberg as you probably are aware. I would definitely recommend working backwards through their discography from here, and as you’ve read, their first album is quite different. Here’s my hot take on the matter: Ministry started as a synth pop band in Chicago if I’m correct. I believe it was Al listening to another Chicago band called Big Black that convinced him to make the switch to a heavier industrial rock act. I’m sure there were plenty of other influences as well, but the influence of Big Black is undeniable. What’s strange is that they’re not all that well known by fans of that genre. They were an early project of Steve Albini who is better known for recording and engineering a lot of I guess what would be considered indie rock. Anyway keep up the great react videos and enjoy your journey into the various musical rabbit holes! P.s. Kill Em All is my favorite Metallica album but I can’t wait for you to hear Master of Puppets.

YES! thank you @MollySanborn. This is one of the greatest INDUSTRIAL albums, they're THE originators of the genre, they were a Dark synth pop act, then put that with rock/metal. we got Skinny Puppy and KMFDM after. The mind is a terrible thing to taste is another great album, Dark side of the spoon, Houses of the molé is a decent release, animosity before that is good. Just one fix IS the definitive INDUSTRIAL ANTHEM. you liked TV II , you'll enjoy WTV from Houses of the molé, it's pretty much the sequel/sibling track. Jesus built my hotrod, wasn't initially liked by the studio, but became a HIT, and the guest singer Gabby (from Butthole surfers) was beyond drunk, and sings mostly in Scat, Gibberish. they use a Slide guitar in this song

I'm wondering if what Ministry managed to do was to take the Avant-Garde elements out of Industrial and replace them with Metal, allowing it to become more popular. As Industrial has been going as a genre since the mid 1970s (Throbbing Gristle, Clock DVA, Cabaret Voltaire etc) where a lot of the grime/sludge/sampling/transgressive subject matter came from. Some of my favourite industrial records are the early Coil ones (released between 1984 and 1987), and while they did quite a few videos/remixes for Nine Inch Nails, they followed a more eclectic path.

I know this reaction is fairly old, but I just wanted to mention I saw Ministry at whatever Lolapalooza had RHCP (92? 93?) at a place that was called Great Woods in Mansfield Mass. After that show, the venue had to change so many things. During Ministry the crowd tore down the wood fencing and set at least 3 huge bonfires that people were dancing around, and then right before RHCP people started tearing up the sod on the lawn and having a giant sod fight. The next show I went to there, they had concrete walls and a dirt hill with no sod.

that was fun, I still love scarecrow, but just a little point : this is not industrial music, but industrial rock. Not saying one is better than the other, but if you want to get into industrial music, you'll have to go to Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, SPK, Monte Cazzaza, Zoviet France, Nurse With Wound, Coil, Muslimgauze, HNAS, NON, etc, even if most of those, who created the genre, are most often dismissive of it. If you like NIN, you should deffinitly check Coil, probably Trent Reznor's biggest inspiration, as he financed an album of theirs, they did remixes for him, videos, collaborated on the Lost Highway OST, and his side project is named after one of their songs.

"Never Trust A Junkie" quote from Sid n Nancy the bad movie based on Sid n Nancy's life and love but was more fantasy than fiction. Hey I thought it was a great introduction into Punk Rock at 11. So glad Al finally Kicked Junk, he was at the point where he was shooting up in the veins in his eyes. I love this album but like everyone has said "The Land of Rape and Honey" is to e their best. The funny thing about The Land of Rape and Honey, is that the cover is purple with small yellow looking dots in the back. In fact "The Rape" the title speaks of is dual entendre, as the yellow flowers in the back you see on the cover are actually "Rape Flowers". I lived in Deutschland for 4 1/2yrs. in the Rheinland Phalz area and Rape Fields grew all over the place. The fields were amazing to see in the spring and summers there. Hey speaking of Corrosion you might like The Sisters of Mercy "Floodland" and their song Corrosion.

Absolutely love Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, i hope you delve into Mansons discography eventually, his trilogy of records are so good, Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood, Holy Wood is probably my favourite, also Stabbing Westward is a very underrated industrial band, their album Darkest Days is beautiful. Also Al Jourgensen's auto biography is a enjoyable read indeed.🖤
