Album Review

Each new Ministry album is an exercise in stress-testing the listener, generating a sonic bombardment that grinds through the outer protective layers and churns up whatever lies beneath. The lyrics in Ministry songs often don't matter — what matters is the tone and shape of the music, the precise way in which the instrument sounds and samples are twisted, straightened, kinked, crushed, broken, reassembled, or done unto; whether drum sounds have this kind of gated reverb or that kind of overdriven chorusing; and just what they mean to impart with this tempo or that. Filth Pig is 54 minutes of slow-churn sandpaper attitude, a record that includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" that is one half friendly homage and one half power-tool demolition derby. This is Ministry, though, a race through dark places, driven by the razorbass.

Customer Reviews

Finest Hour

This album has a sublety and coherence not found in other music of this type, including several of their other efforts. The lumbering power of the title track is worth the money on it's own. If you're looking for another 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' don't think you'll find it here, but this one grows and grows and grows. Their best album.

alright

it bit of a nasty album. Ministry have always given you music thats loud , full chaos and is an adventure into dark places. this is by far the most choas alum they have done. Houses of the mole , rio grande blood are intense and loud but their done in a controlled way. this is just wired. Some of the song on this album are ok: e.g dead guy but others e.g reload seem like a pointless storm of noise. And this is 4 years of work? don't sound like it.

Ministry's 'disappointment' that is far from it.

Not giving fans a sequel to Psalm 69 but instead concentrating on expanding their sound, Ministry postively blossom on Filth Pig. Reload - 10/10 Filth Pig - 9/10 Lava - 8/10 Crumbs - 8/10 Useless - 7/10 Dead Guy - 9/10 Gameshow - 8/10 The Fall - 9/10 Lay Lady Lay - 9/10 Brick Windows - 8/10 Overall score - 85/100 Forget all the negative reviews, Filth Pig changed Ministry's direction for the better.

Biography

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Until Nine Inch Nails crossed over to the mainstream, Ministry did more than any other band to popularize industrial dance music, injecting large doses of punky, over-the-top aggression and roaring heavy metal guitar riffs that helped their music find favor with metal and alternative audiences outside of industrial's cult fan base. That's not to say Ministry had a commercial or generally accessible sound: they were unremittingly intense, abrasive, pounding, and repetitive, and not always guitar-oriented...
