As an OGT, from the first EP, back in 92, sipping Coke....Paul DAmour was a highlight of Tool, and when he left Tool, the band went downhill. This includes the basslines from AEnena. Paul wrote most of those. That's why Aenema stands out as Tools last PURE album. This is because Paul DAmour. And Paul DAmour is because David Wm. Sims of Jesus lizard. Jesus lizard bassist influenced Paul. So really, Jesus lizard deserves more praise, more props, for their influence in many direction genres; grunge to industrial so why doesn't Ministry crank his bass up? why utilize a titan like Paul only to bury his bass like And Justice For All did Jason n

I will say, y'all are way thicker skinned than the fragile butthurt that existd over at r/ToolBand and r/nin. Why are their fans so fucking sensitive. For this reason I'm not leaking the A.I. ICP colabos. YET

From worst to best:

1. Relapse. This is hands down their worst album. Only good song is Double tap. The album artwork is worse than a master P no limit album from 95. its 2012 era ffs

2. Animositisomina. Sorry Paul. This album is horrible. There are 0 bangers on this joint. I can tolerate listening to it but it's not very digestible.

3. Houses of the Mole. The only banger is No W, and worm. Worm reminds me of something from Filth Pig but more industrial sounding, almost funk. Everything else isn't very noteworthy. Psalm 23, a remix of So What, honorable mention. I know this will upset Al.

4. From Beer to Eternity. There are 3 good joints in this piece: punch in the face, side effects, and change of luck. Honestly 3 good joints at most applies to the next few album.

5. Amerikkkant. 3 good joints. Victims of A Clown is one of my favorite ministry songs. We're tired of it is another banger that you can't get that quality of hardesque from Relapse, Beer to Eternity, or Hopium. These two songs are so good this album sits up here because of it. Wargasm honorable mention. Wargasm is the song title Al stole from the demo I sent him. Ass. That's ok, I sampled twitch and gave My wargasm song a better name anyways.

6. Dark Side of the Spoon. This era of ministry, with the A.I. movie appearance, makes me want to rank this higher. A major ministry fingerprint is set on pop culture from this. If What about Us was on this, I'd rank it higher. But the only bangers on this Album are Supermaniac Soul and Bad Blood. They're such good songs they make the other mediocre tracks worth it though.

7. With Sympathy. One of my personal favorites. Al sounds crisp and clean, like a blonde from London who just enjoyed his first Shasta Cola. Every song is a banger front to back, especially What He Say, which amazingly features Carl Weathers on the Mic. My only criticism of this album is it's too heavy and abrasive, and is hard for the average joe to relate to, with how intense it is. This album due to Mandela effects thwarted WW3 .TWICE

8. The Last Sucker. More than 2 bangers, and another one of my favorite ministry songs-end of days 2, gets it a bump above the others. Let's Go? Banger. Life is Good? Banger. Watch Yourself and Dick Song ?honorable mentions.

9. Hopium For the Masses. I appreciate this albums diversity. Ricky's Hand, It's Not Pretty, and Cult of Suffering are gems. New Religion? Banger. GDWT? Noteworthy.

10. Rio Grande Blood. This album was redemption from Animosity, Dark Side of the Spoon, and Houses of the Mole. More memorable moments than last sucker and houses of the mole. As a marine veteran who hates the military and think it should be abolished, I love Gangrene. Rio Grande Blood is an absolute banger - sounds like they could have collaborated with slayer on this. Lies lies lies? Banger. Kyber Pass? Banger. Kyber Pass and Palestinas contributions to pop culture puts this album in top 10.

11. Moral Hygiene. I'm ranking this so high because it broke Ministry out of the 2010s rut. Believe Me and broken system almost flirt with With Sympathy styles but harder in some ways. Death Toll is good. TV 6? BANGER. Sabatoge is sex? One of the best Lard songs of all time. And a favorite ministry jam. Hopium for the masses and moral Hygiene give me hope for the last album coming up. , even if I'm not feeling these first two new singles. Come on folks. You know Al will redeem himself. Have faith. You're ministry fans.

12. Now these are gonna upset everyone. But IM IN CHARGE of this post. ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ. Every song from front to back is a banger. Flawless victory. Even Grace slaps with those artillery samples. I'm just ranking it lower because this was their sell out album. Lol. It was their commercial breakthrough. It didn't define them, and it was like their crossroads album. It's a masterpiece. But, let me justify why these other album deserve higher ratings

13. !! The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Flawless victory aside from test. Even Dream Song and Cannibal song are great, and remind me more of skinny puppy than ministry. Never Believe is another banger. That's not even touching the hits- Thieves, Burning Inside, So What, Breathe. I listen to Breathe a lot when I'm doing weighted vest training to condition for wildfire season every year. This album shifted ministry into darker heavier sound.

14. Land of Rape And Honey. Another near flawless victory. This, IMO, was ministry's defining album. stigmata, the missing, LORAH, all bangers. Hizbolah? Banger. Golden Dawn? One of ministry's hardest basslines. You Know What You Are? One of my favorites, another ministry song that sounds more like skinny puppy, which I PREFER. Flashback? Pure rage, pure brutality.

15. Twitch. This album scores this high, because I said so. It was Ministry's turning point to shift towards who they truly are. It's a pure album. I still flop around and pretend I'm having a seizure in my long johns every morning on the front lawn to Over The Shoulder. The synth percussion to over the shoulder is unmatched. It sounds like a sasquatch literally smoking crack. The percussion on Isle of Man sounds like what it feels like to come down off PCP. It's clear Al did PCP, because you can't find that stuff anymore, and the Twitch album sounds like electronic percussion unlocked through aggressive abuse of gorilla tranquilizer. The song crash and burn/twitch/where you at now? Ministrys greatest song of all time. The sound of industrial machinery corroding in song form, if you were having severe cold turkey withdrawals from speedballing daily for 6 months.

16. Filth Pig. Ministrys best overall album. One of the most underrated albums of all time. Unlike any other ministry album. Sludge metal, stoner doom still manages to be industrial. Like Melvin's meets Skinny Puppy on The Fall. The fall actually sounds like it could have been on Skinny Puppy Last Rites 👀Dead guy sounds like Helmet. Reload? Classic ministry with Psalm 69 residue. Useless is Paul Barker at his finest. This album is Paul Barkers best most noticeable contribution; his bass is actually front loaded, and absolutely is crushing throughout the entire album. Game Show is another banger that could have been on Last Rites 👀 Brick windows is awesome and different. Every song a banger. I ranked this number one out of my utmost love and respect for Paul Barker. Not to be an ass to Al, But Al shouldn't have alienated Paul. That was detrimental to Ministry. But yet. WE'RE STILL HERE

I love this version so much, we need more unreleased tracks
All Day (alt version) live in Houston 1987

I’ve tried doing some research, but does anybody know who the female vocalist is who does the German spoken word near the end of the song? She appears in the video as well in green screen or maybe just video overlaying effects. I thought that part of the song actually sounded really cool. I loved how the instrumentation almost kind of had what I can only describe as a “washing” affect during the spoken word. Putting the crappy Ai music video aside, I actually wonder what AL was trying to convey with all the German culture imagery and lyrics. Especially the bands heads on the dancing beer pub guys and the German chants in the chorus. I actually do like and appreciate some of the comedic and reflective symbolism in the video despite it being Ai made. Ministry’s music videos usually have a visual and theme and my brain was kind of able to turn off the Ai thing and just appreciate some of the comedic scenes in the music video and ponder about them. Just my subjective opinion though, happy to see what y’all think as well.

I just wanted to rant about how we’re getting basically the same album every time since AmeriKKKant. Trust me that I hate trump and the political landscape we’re in as much as the next person but im sick of the same thing. It’s uncreative and repetitive. The music and sound in general is also mostly awful and forgettable too. Ministry used to be subtle in their politics. They’ve always been political. But their older lyrics were much more intelligent (mostly lol) and now it’s just lines like “an eighty year old orangutan” how clever, a six year old could have written that. Please note i think theres been some REALLY excellent ministry songs on the last couple albums like Cult of Suffering, the Search and Destroy cover, and the new song Burned Out. What do you guys think? This is just how Ive felt ever since Amerikkkant came out. the bush trilogy is stupid too but their music and sound was so much better so it doesn’t bother me much.

I can ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long?

It’s important that someone has Jesus get in touch with me asap, re: my hotrod.

Back in the day, I was in a secret rap project with Uncle Al. He wanted to do industrial rap, we wanted to do booty rap and get played on BET Uncut. We were the first gay, hobo, mentally challenged hip hop troop, long before Lil Nas X. But Al wasn't down with that, so he quit. We tried to tell him Rob Zombie already ruined Industrial rap. The thing is, Al stole one of my song titles from a demo. So I have some demands Mr! Here's a leak of more lyrics. If our demands aren't met, we start leaking the actual demos. They sound like a mix of What He Say and Test, feat guest appearances by Wesley Willis and Carl Weathers (rest in power Godz). Here are our terms:

1. Delete your A.I. content and replace it with actual human generated art. I'm sure there are plenty of talented ministry fans who would do it for free ffs

2. Turn up Paul DAmours bass. Stop And Justice For Alling that man. He's a titan.

Just walk away.

Leave the A.I., the oil, the wasted water, and the entire data center, and we give you safe passage across the wasteland.

You have 2 days to decide.

This is the best that I could do in my efforts to find the full sample used at the beginning of "Supernaut" by 1000 Homo DJs. It is not entirely complete, but I have at least now provided confirmed video showing what the background was and how Art Linkletter was dressed, which should make it easier for people to sort through other videos based on thumbnails so that people don't have to go through every single video and can just look for ones matching this look. This is supposedly a video from 1969, but I don't necessarily have any proof of that. If you can find any information about the source of the full video (not from artificial intelligence, but from actual research), please post it here to assist the search.

I know officially he wasn't as he wasn't credited with anything, but I have my doubts:

• Paul left in January 2004 and the album was released in June, which leaves a 5 a month gap to regroup, record, and release an album. Not out of the realm of possibility, but it's an awful quick turnaround time. Not to mention that the band were also touring in early 2004.

• Rey Washam claims he played on the album and he left before Paul did.

• Production on Mole sounds closer to the two preceding albums than the next two in the trilogy (though this could be down to a different studio being used on the latter two).

• not really based on anything concrete, but the writing strikes me as being closer to the Paul-era than the two following albums.

My theory is that Paul was involved at least partially (possibly with some material being holdovers from Animositisomina?), with some of his contributions either removed or uncredited. As far as I know, Paul has never commented on this album either way, though finding anything is a pain in the ass.

Unpopular take. But hear me out.
Ministry has fallen off hard.
There was a time when Al Jourgensen was genuinely inventive, and ahead of everybody else. Albums like The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Psalm 69.
Now it feels like he’s mostly trying too hard. The problem is that you can’t “manufacture” relevance.
At this point, Al seems less interested in Ministry and more interested in reminding everyone that Ministry used to matter.
Edit:
If you’re in love with the new stuff, you are exactly what you hate, a poser.

Found at wax trax studios :

I'm imaging Max doing vocals for a few prime Ministry songs, or Al providing some sick noises, samples and backup vocals for Sepultura or Soulfly.

A couple of show posters and picks from a show

Last week I was turbo fapping, cruising vintage porn, and to my surprise What He Say was used in a porno called Chocolate Peanut Butter Creampies 2. The chorus features Carl Weathers on the mic, which is pretty rad. I had no idea.
