Anyone a fan.
I've only just listened to some songs on youtube, not bad, very heavy.
Seeing I am a big NIN fan, I thought I'd dig around for more industrial music and read about this band being a big influence on NIN.

What albums are good to start with?
Best songs?

    the Psalm 69 is probably their most popular. I also liked In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up (Live), The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and The Land of Rape and Honey. Also check out their cover of Lay Lady Lay off of Filth Pig. I haven't heard much of their newer stuff.

    This is all good advice.

    I do love Psalm 69, it was my first taste of them and it always stuck with me.

    Psalm 69 is definitely their best. I might be in the minority, but I really liked Houses of the Mole. And I can still rock Revenge from With Sympathy even though Al would like to forget that period in the band's history.

    That's a band I haven't listened to in years. Psalm 69 is a great album. I might have to go dig it out and listen to it now.

    I'm a fan. Just One Fix was the song that got me into them. Saw the video on 120 Minutes and I was hooked. Psalm 69 and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste are my fav albums. Houses of The Mole, Land Of Rape & Honey, and Filth Pig were also good. I have The Last Sucker, but it wasn't that great. Never got Rio Grande Blood, but they have a song on there that I like as well, LiesLiesLies. Seen them a few times. missed their farewell tour though a few years ago. :(


    Some of my fav songs:
    Just One Fix-

    I got into them after seeing their version of Lay Lady Lay on this video my bro had taped. I really like Jesus Built my Hotrod too! :D

    Great band....hard to believe their commercial success peaked in 1992....so long ago!

    They more or less invented "Industrial Rock" and brought it to a wider audience.

    Psalm 69 is a great album...."Just One Fix" is a great song. I always loved seeing them live...not as good as NIN, but very close!

    They were on Lollapalooza 1992 with PJ!

    Their back! :mrgreen:

    I thought Al Jourgensen ended the band a few years ago, but apparently decided to bring them back and are touring (few dates out in the midwest and one in la and nyc) and recording a new album called "Relapse". Hope they come out to philly so i can see them again.

    In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up is one of my fave live albums. Can't really go wrong with Ministry. I guess you should go for Greatest Fits for a retrospective of their best bits and then get Psalm69, Land of Rape and Honey and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste.

    I really liked Filth Pig and Dark Side of the Spoon too, but I might be on my own with the latter! :lol:

    They were great, but Al is a hack now. He released "Greatest Tricks" last year, which was one of those "re-recorded" greatest hits albums and it was an inexcusable mess.

    And he also quoted Loose Change in one of his records, I don't need half-ass conspiracy theories in my half-ass industrial music.
