Ministry "Psalm 69: the Way to Suceed and the Way to Suck Eggs" (1992)
One of those "what did I just listen to (in a good way)" albums.
Much
of this is speedy industrial rockabilly... like Motorhead meets Marilyn
Manson. There are grinding riffs, speedy beats, mixes of rockabilly, metal, military, choir elements. It's speedy rock, but with
quite cold, sterile production and the vocals not overly clear in the
mix.
The most 'known' song (and the only one I knew in advance) is "Jesus built my hotrod" a redneck, high octane ripsnorter with Gibby Haynes
from the Butthole Surfers on vocals. Compared to the bleak, 'scorched
earth' vibe of much of the rest album, "hotrod" is almost a pop hit.
