EAN: 0075992579926 Format: Import Label: Sire Records Manufacturer: Sire Records Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sire Records Release Date: September 27, 1999 Studio: Sire Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This is a brilliant hybrid of electronic music and conventional guitar-heavy rock. The first three tracks in particular pound out the overall method: furious, punk-metal guitars over slamming, machinelike rhythms. This release exemplifies Al Jourgensen's and Paul Barker's skill at producing remarkably creative musical aggression. "You Know What You Are" and the album's title track are fist-in-the-air electro-anthems upon first listen. But upon closer scrutiny, the songs reveal themselves to be works of complex sonic architecture, with components drawn from a wide variety of sources. The same is also true with "Flashback," a techno-punk foray into loosely controlled fury. --Mark McCleerey Album Description: Reissue of the industrial outfit's 1988, their first real commercial breakthrough (it reached #164 on the Billboard Top 200) after dabbling in synth pop during the beginning and middle of the `80s. Led by Al Jourgensen, this rougher, tougher almost metallic version of Ministry opened the doors for other industrial bands including Nine Inch Nails. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - heavy metal noisethis is what i believe to be the album that kicked off the industtial revolution. a must have for metal and industrial Rating: - Industrial religionThis album is from the old testament of industrial music. Many consider this very album to be the inspiration for many industrial legends who would go on to create their own chapters in history. However, if you've followed the industrial music scene since the mid 80's like myself, you bought this one on vynal years ago. If you are NEW to industrial music, then you MUST own this album! It may seem quite defferent to some younger fans more accustomed to the present day bands that CLAIM to be industrial, ...

With half the songs being decent and the rest excellent, Ministry's first "proper" album influenced countless industrial acts to follow, though none have as yet ... Read More Rating: - Time to review the best album ever made.Quite possibly the best and most influential industrial album ever. When I go to Ministry concerts nowadays I'm usually disappointed that I don't hear more songs from this album. Maybe one song (or two if your lucky). Al Jourgensen is usually too busy playing songs from his most recent albums which will never be as good or as CLASSIC as the songs from this one. Don't misunderstand me, some of his later material is okay, but it will never top Land of Rape and Honey. This album is one of the top ...
