Dan, Well said. Uncle Al left it way, way way too late. All o f music had changed by then. Grunge had been wiped out a nd most importantly, Colombine had happened in the US. Goth along with Industrial music was blamed for Colombine. NiN were deliberately targeted by the media and the music industry. By default Ministry suffered. No one but small niche r a dio stations would play Ministry by t hen. The combined sales failures of Pig and Spoon had caught up to Jourgensen and Baker. They were broke after Warner's dumped them. By this a album I too had g i ven up on Ministry. I was purchasing Sphinctour o n DVD in 2001 when the guy behind the counter said listen to Ministry's new album. Its unexpectedly good. I downloaded it, gave it two listens and didnt listen to Ministry again for 11 years. !
I love these Ministry videos. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have gotten into these guys. I would like to see you make a video on the Bush Trilogy, if you ever come around to making one
The first Ministry album that I was introduced to was the very popular Psalm 69. Back in the 90s Psalm 69 was a huge introduction to The Industrial music genre for a lot of people including myself. I remember listening to that and slowly finding myself branching out and finding more Industrial bands to listen to. With that being said I actually really liked Ministry’s Filth Pig album. I kinda dug the more striped down sound of Filth Pig even though it was a bit of a departure from their previous album. Ministry is one of those bands that can pretty much do whatever they want and I’ll like it.
I noticed during the break on Stolen there is a screeching record scratching soundscape reminiscent of everyday is Halloween and Max Brody irreverent sax solo is nothing short of breathtaking.
Excellent video, Killbot! My favorite track is "Leper" - saving the best for last. ;) (I winced when I saw you throw "Filth Pig" in the trash, even if it was to represent how some fans didn't like it) Keep up the great work & grind on!!!
You should upload a compilation video of all three segments: Filth Pig ~ Dark Side of the Spoon ~ Animositisomina !!! With the proper copyright consent, it would be nothing short of marvelous if you released a DVD of these glorious segments with bonus footage of ur shenanigans along with bootleg footage of Ministry performing live during all three tours of that “Cathartic Era” ... it’s morally imperative that you do this, Tony my boy !!!
Loving these documentaries/short album summaries you've been doing with the Ministry stuff. This is kind of a weird album for me because I was 13 at the time and going through some up and down time. Didn't end up owning a copy until much later, 2008 I think? But I had heard a bunch of songs from a buddy who has it and I was hooked. I also didn't know much about Al and Ministry then, so it was just a cool industrial metal album that I wanted. Ended up getting Houses in 2004 though. At that point I really had to dig into the history because this was some fascinating stuff to say the least. Cheers!
It should be noted that Stanley Kubrick made special mention in his will about Ministry being the Flesh Fair Band in A.I. ~~ call it one of his last dying wishes, per say....what an incredible honor for Ministry to have been chosen by a filmmaking legend to be featured in his “swan song” last film. Too bad Speilberg sterilized the fuck out of that movie...it definitely has a pusillanimous vibe attached to it that you can clearly see is all Speilberg...having said that, the overall movie has a morose quality with a melancholic ending that leaves you disheveled if not all together in tears so I still feel A.I. is a triumph despite its problems 🍿💗🍿
Leper is purely sinister and definitely unsettling...it’s my 3rd favorite song on this masterful album...Shove being a close 2nd to the hootenanny of “Broken”!!
I love this album. I love ministry. I just saw yhem live for the sixth time last week. Wish al and paul would have a reunion of some kind wether thats a new album or a tour. Sphinctour is probably my favorite live album. I wish i was older and could of seen them perform together. Love your videos dude
Since my favorite Ministry albums were Spoon, Pig, Psalm, Mind, and Rape, I was excited when this album came out. The album itself was technically good, but since I was a 90's teen that had been thrust into depression after seeing how shitty the world was getting in the 21st century, I was sort of "numb" to being able to really enjoy the album like I had the previous albums. Kind of like how when you are depressed suddenly food stops tasting good and stuff you enjoy stops being enjoyable. Anyway, since the world has continued it's downward slide into shit with no hope of ever turning things around to reach levels of bliss that the 1990's were, combined with my youth fading away,.. I can only seem to enjoy anything if it brings me happy memories.
The world has been shit for a variety of reasons for a decades. Usually it only seems less shit when we're younger due to us not being aware or exposed enough to the world around us & looking back with rose tinted glasses will always make us long for the 'good' old days. It's a matter of perspective. Hope you are at least able to enjoy this album now as it holds it's own with all their classic albums before it in my opinion.
I was waiting for this after those sterling videos on Filth Pig & Dark Side... & as usual you didn't disappoint! Really appreciate all the info I didn't know about this, given how this is one of Ministry's most overlooked & criminally underrated albums. Not to mention it's one of my all time faves of theirs. One thing that jumped out at me was that little ticking noise in the background of Leper... So that's how they made that sound, razor on glass? When listening to it on headphones, I always think of that sound as sounding like when you're under water in a pool with a 'creepy crawly' (that's what we call it where I'm from)... it makes that same ticking sound at the exact same tempo! Well now I'll never hear it the same way again, haha!
Been hella psyched for this one, thank you!🙏 My favorite tracks off the album, first one being "shove"👌 I just love the drum beat, the bass line, and the sort of slide into each note guitar🎸🎹🎧💫😵 "the light pours out of me" I remember seeing a bootleg where Ogre from "skinny puppy" sings it. And is it just me or does Al sound like Perry Farrell from "Jane's Addiction" on "unsung"?
Funny thing about that, Al addresses it in an interview and said Ogre never sang that song with them, Al always minicked Devoto to where he almost sounded like Ogre. I had a bootleg live CD (called House of Bones) and indeed, it sounded HORRIBLE. Yeah kinda does
Friend have you done a review for every Ministry album? I cannot find them. You only have 3 of them. It would be great to find all the albums. You review them so well
Still feel you should indicate how Al was inspired by Ian Curtis (Joy Division) on the verses of “Shove” ... it sounds more post-punk goth than psychedelic, for sure...
It took a while, but I can listen to the Bush trilogy too. Thats where I stop. The stuff after it’s pretty terrible. But yes, Paul added counterbalances, psychedelic elements, and made sure the lyrics weren’t about stupid crap. Lead Into Gold’s newest album will remind you of what Ministry is missing.
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! I’m with you- I’m a fan since 1986 but I parted ways after The Last Sucker. I prefer to remember Ministry that way than where they’ve gone since.
Fond memories of this album. Saw them in Seattle the second date of the tour supporting it and the venue sound system was jacked up, Al was visibly pissed. Months later in Atlanta they were much finer tuned.
This album is criminally underrated - not just by critics, but by Al himself. "Non-album" my ass. Giving Paul sole control of the album's production was the best thing that could have happened to Ministry. The album is loud as hell, with lots of chunky bass and processed guitars. It's more industrial than anything they have done since. The brickwalling of the instruments is what gives this album its unique character.
Was never a massive fan of this one, but find myself coming back to some of these tracks recently, and beginning to see the appeal more and more. much more interesting than anything they've put out since at least rio grande blood
Really entertaining Killbot! Even tho I don't like Ministry, let alone Industrial metal, this video was very interesting. Looking forward for another one, perhaps about a different band.
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack The Rio grande thingy was nice, enjoyed few songs, probably because, as you mentioned, they went for some thrashier sound. But yeah, I'll keep on digging!
Good vid. I don't know if you've heard of a band called coroner. I think they are an unknown and underrated band u should check them out. It would be dope if you made a video on them. Thanks
Shove was such a dark and disturbing track, it’s like NIN’s hurt and Filth Pig combined, so good and of course Ministry. Incredibly underrated record, Paul’s influence is clearly defined.
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack do you know if the DVD release is capable of being ripped like a CD to make mp3s.? I'm extremely late to the release, and when I shop online I try my best to buy sealed.
"Almost lost my arm from a spider bite on my dealers couch" hmmm 🤔 is it possible injecting drugs might cause an infection and look like a spider bite.
E hhr No . . . the spider bite story is well known. What confuses peo p le IS that Uncle Al on a seperate occssion injected badly mixed low quality heroin where on that occasion he almost lost his right arm. Al allegedly started yelling that he was a "famous rock star" whose company would sue f oir millions if he lost his arm. That story goes that one of the doctor's did confirm that it was Al Jourgensen and he was in a relatively big band at that time. The doctors did save his arm, most likeky, not wanting to risk a million dollar law suit with Warner's. Jourgensen admitted he was lucky on that occasion a l so as he was literally only hours from losing his arm !. P Spider Bite - Uncle Al J was a broke and a serious junkie with a minimum $500 per day habit by 1998. His health was shot. He lived on a dealers filthy couch in a room infested with cockroaches, bugs etc. A spider did actually bite him on the toe. The combination of poor health, a very compromised immune system and no hygeine exarcebated the spider bite. NOTE - Alice in Chain's frontman - Layne Staley's - girlfriend Demi Perrot, died in similar circumstancrsas An infection which normally could've easily been treated by antibiotics, killed her. Her seriously comprimised immune system failed her. The infection spread to her heart. She died of a heart failure caused by multiple organ failure caused by the onset of severe sepsis.
G’ah! Spider bite: Nasty! I need to look into Pink Anvil. AW YEH! A message against blindly following systems! THANK YOU! (I feel so battered on that topic, as you well know! M’wa-ha-ha-ha!) I get the feeling if I can find that album it shall be my therapy. HEHEHEHEHE! “To put it simply: this album is loud.” Along with the fat blue waves in the Audacity image: NO SHIT, SHERLOCK! Good one there. "Animositisomina" is sounding a very fine thing to reach for soon as well. (If I can eventually find “Dark Side…” at some point…) Howard Devoto? I shall take this into consideration! (Just shared this show with an important person of mine.) Dang… I really need to update my music collection… but that was the fun of finding new friends who carried on without me; Gets me re-interested. (I’ll probably enjoy the instrumental.) This is intense with information. I think I need a list of all the post bands and albums! By the way, we have searched three months in our music stores and can *not* find a copy of “Dark Side of The Spoon”. I blame you entirely. I shall not request it from the demon-lord of Amazon. We’ll just keep hunting on our own, but I wanted to let you know: I hold you responsible!
Ministry is so incredibly excellent as avante Garde rock artists, they don’t just make great music...I consider their discography a collection of esoteric brilliance....I often say to people of lesser intellectual means that stuff like Ministry, Skinny Puppy, early Mudhoney, Front Line Assembly, Sonic Youth & Melvins is not merely music...this is the stuff of sound sculpture...these artists have created the equivalent of affluent art that of a magnificent painting (Jackson Pollock or Picasso) ... imagine an auditory painting...painting sound, if you will ~~ sound art or noise sculpture....Ministry & their comrades (or peers) are not just making beautiful music....THEY CREATE FINE ART !!!!!!
never understood why so many people didn't liked Bush trilogy albums when they're perfect continuation where Psalm 69 left of ,just more brutal and ferocious. RGB is a masterpiece.I didn't care much about animositisimina except first two tracks because house of the mole was released quick after it and it blew away everything that they released since Psalm.
Cool video.that is my last ministry album I like of them.ive seen them so many times and got them enough money that I hope whatever Al is doing alright but I skip their shows these days.
They’re still a good live band now as long as Al’s having a good night. First time I saw them, he didn’t look like he wanted to be there. Second time they rules
Stuff like the masterful song “Broken” should encompass Alternative Top 40 Radio versus the garbage saturating the airwaves as of late...in our alternate universe ~ Ministry sweeps the Grammys every year along with his buddy Trent Reznor & crap like Taylor Swift, Pitbull or JayZ is gutter trash that gets smashed to pieces by disgruntled affluent music fans 🤟🏽🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏿🤟🤟🏾🤟🏻🤟🏼
A bit of an improvement after DSOFS, which sounded like a band in the throes of bottoming out. I feel it was on the album after this (Mole) that Al was sharpening his teeth, which would culminate in the awesome Bush trilogy albums. This is Al’s least fave album apparently
It’s a shame that all my original comments are now lost in cyberspace but at least you were able to update the intel on Revco’s original line-up ... I should send you the CD gatefold of Cocked & Loaded so you can see that Luc Van Acker was in there too and he definitely is an original member of Revco as per Richard 23, (Front 242), Bill Rieflin, Paul Barker, Chris Connelly & soon after Mike Scaccia...think Michael Balch was involved too early on to some capacity....Jeff Ward & Trent Reznor were part of the Beers Steers & Queers touring band...but at least you got Phildo Owens in there, Bub 👌
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! I stand corrected...my bad, dude...I just checked the gatefold of my CD...call it wishful thinking but no cigar...Luc Van Acker is not in there...not even a smidgeon, lol...instead there is this Gothy looking long haired bloke, Stevie Banch, whom I know nothing about....sorry about that Brutha...I should check shit out 1st before running my mouth off, lol...
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! Yes...it be great to get everyone from the 1st 2 records & tours: Chris Connelly, Luc Van Acker, Richard 23, Bill Rieflin, Paul Barker, Al Jourgensen, Nivek Ogre, Trent Reznor (though he goes uncredited as an official touring member cuz he was in fact a roadie at the time who got promoted to keyboards, lol) & Phildo Owens...throw in Jello Biafra & Gibby Haynes for good measure & shits & giggles...and how the fuck could you go wrong!!! ☺️
Look, it isn't that I haven't liked some of what Al has done in the past 15 years, in fact, he's had some great tunes, but THIS was the last REAL Ministry album. After Paul left, it just ain't the same.
I had to pause the video for a second, because I noticed VH1 asked Al about Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails’ song “Dirt” on his new album and if there was a song of his that he would like the Man in Black to have a go at? “Dirt”? Come on! Get the freakin’ name right! ruclips.net/video/pNAQY8_3Q6k/видео.htmlm33s
As much as I loved Al's autobiography, his refusal to acknowledge any of Paul Barker's input was obnoxious and frustrating. It wasn't as bad as Peter Hook's constant (but justified) bitching in his New Order autobiography, but it was close. No autobiography should ever be written unless the author is willing to be 100% honest with himself and the reader.
Relapse is an abomination...i’ll give you that but FBTE is a clever and refreshing return to form...chock full of samples and Scaccia’s last hoorah...this album has some already classic songs: Thanks but No Thanks, Change of Luck, Mikey’s Middle Finger, PermaWar....and yes, there’s sum stupid shit on there too like that song with Diana Ross samples, Lesson Unlearned, Al’s voice is so garbled and hoarse on this song...it’s a fucking mess and Perfect Storm is terrible amateur sounding drum machine with flat dull generic sounding guitars...that Fox News song is retarded too, lol...so it has some cool moments but definitely competes with Relapse in terms of BOMB status, lol...
I watched this twice, you make me appreciate Ministry albums I never gave a chance.
Dan,
Well said.
Uncle Al left it way, way way too late. All o f music had changed by then.
Grunge had been wiped out a nd most importantly, Colombine had happened in the US.
Goth along with Industrial music was blamed for Colombine. NiN were deliberately targeted by the media and the music industry. By default Ministry suffered.
No one but small niche r a dio stations would play Ministry by t hen.
The combined sales failures of Pig and Spoon had caught up to Jourgensen and Baker.
They were broke after Warner's dumped them.
By this a album I too had g i ven up on Ministry.
I was purchasing Sphinctour o n DVD in 2001 when the guy behind the counter said listen to Ministry's new album. Its unexpectedly good. I downloaded it, gave it two listens and didnt listen to Ministry again for 11 years. !
I was lucky enough to find a copy of this album that was signed by Al and Paul. This is a seriously underrated Ministry album
I love these Ministry videos. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have gotten into these guys. I would like to see you make a video on the Bush Trilogy, if you ever come around to making one
Who in their right mind would press dislike on this incredibly awesome video 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Broken is hands down one of my favorite Ministry songs of all time and I admire if not all together love most of Hypo Luxa/Hermes Pan discography!!
Super underrated record. Doesnt get enough love. Its as good as any of there classic stuff
I noticed during the break on Stolen there is a screeching record scratching soundscape reminiscent of everyday is Halloween and Max Brody irreverent sax solo is nothing short of breathtaking.
Been waiting for this video
SAME
Excellent video, Killbot! My favorite track is "Leper" - saving the best for last. ;)
(I winced when I saw you throw "Filth Pig" in the trash, even if it was to represent how some fans didn't like it)

It should be noted that Stanley Kubrick made special mention in his will about Ministry being the Flesh Fair Band in A.I. ~~ call it one of his last dying wishes, per say....what an incredible honor for Ministry to have been chosen by a filmmaking legend to be featured in his “swan song” last film. Too bad Speilberg sterilized the fuck out of that movie...it definitely has a pusillanimous vibe attached to it that you can clearly see is all Speilberg...having said that, the overall movie has a morose quality with a melancholic ending that leaves you disheveled if not all together in tears so I still feel A.I. is a triumph despite its problems 🍿💗🍿
I just found out about that the other day, Stanley Kubrick was a fan of Ministry?? His legend only continues to grow. R.I.P. 🙏
Great video Killbot. I found it very informative and interesting. \m/
I got this back when it dropped and still love it.
Leper is purely sinister and definitely unsettling...it’s my 3rd favorite song on this masterful album...Shove being a close 2nd to the hootenanny of “Broken”!!
Wonderful video, Tony!
Love when you do Ministry videos..Ive gotta check Pink Anvil out
I love this album. I love ministry. I just saw yhem live for the sixth time last week. Wish al and paul would have a reunion of some kind wether thats a new album or a tour. Sphinctour is probably my favorite live album. I wish i was older and could of seen them perform together. Love your videos dude
Why thank you
Coolest thing about this segment is that at certain points it almost seems like you were reading my mind 😂🤣😂
Ahh, you included Phildo Owens in there....nice!!!
Tony...you would be an awesome dude to attend a Ministry show with...or any cool-ass rock show, for that matter!!!
“Broken” is a tongue & cheek crossover “industrial country” masterpiece...lets call it “CUNTRY-CORE”, lol...
Yes, sir!😁👍
Kkk.
Finally going to see Ministry. For the first time. This July with KMFDM and Front Assembly.
Got my tickets yesterday. They already sold out Chicago and Baltimore. Frisco is having to move to a bigger venue!
great ministry videos cant wait for the next parts for the next albums
Love this series, wouldn't mind an episode for every album haha
I only have the first two albums, and an EP of Everyday Is Halloween. Thanks for making this video.
This is a full on rockumentary, I loved it!!

RGB is a masterpiece.I didn't care much about animositisimina except first two tracks because house of the mole was released quick after it and it blew away everything that they released since Psalm.
You should check out mosh pit justice if you haven’t
It is an impressive output from Al. Especially considering that he was withdrawing from drugs and "could barely walk", and was just at rock bottom.
One of the best industrial metal acts, I want know what they had to say about DTrump if they hated GdBush so mutch :D
Cool video.that is my last ministry album I like of them.ive seen them so many times and got them enough money that I hope whatever Al is doing alright but I skip their shows these days.
They’re still a good live band now as long as Al’s having a good night. First time I saw them, he didn’t look like he wanted to be there. Second time they rules
I gotta get that BLACKOUTS album "History in Reverse" ...guess that means history is in the future and what we make of it🍕🍵🎙
You do! Its friggin great. Rieflin was a badass drummer even back in the early 80s. I think its on Bandcamp if you cant find the CD anywhere
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! Cool...thnx for the tip👊🏼
11:14 is that Mike patton?
Al with his red hair of the time. Fact, Pink Anvil was on Patton’s label, Ipecac
Any ministry song recommendations?
addie g stigmata, the missing, deity, the land of rape and honey, thieves, burning inside, so what, nwo, just one fix, hero
work for love hits different
NWO, Jesus Built My Hotrod
What was the edit from the last video?
Towards the end, “revolting cocks without any original members” is now “without anyone from the classic lineup, save for Phildo Owens”
Stuff like the masterful song “Broken” should encompass Alternative Top 40 Radio versus the garbage saturating the airwaves as of late...in our alternate universe ~ Ministry sweeps the Grammys every year along with his buddy Trent Reznor & crap like Taylor Swift, Pitbull or JayZ is gutter trash that gets smashed to pieces by disgruntled affluent music fans 🤟🏽🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏿🤟🤟🏾🤟🏻🤟🏼
Idk why people were so down on filth pig. I love that lp. Def more chicago noise rock than slayer w a drum machine
Wait why was it reuploaded?
To correct an error towards the end, “revolting cocks without any original members” to “without anyone from the classic lineup, save for Phildo Owens”
A bit of an improvement after DSOFS, which sounded like a band in the throes of bottoming out. I feel it was on the album after this (Mole) that Al was sharpening his teeth, which would culminate in the awesome Bush trilogy albums. This is Al’s least fave album apparently
It’s a shame that all my original comments are now lost in cyberspace but at least you were able to update the intel on Revco’s original line-up ... I should send you the CD gatefold of Cocked & Loaded so you can see that Luc Van Acker was in there too and he definitely is an original member of Revco as per Richard 23, (Front 242), Bill Rieflin, Paul Barker, Chris Connelly & soon after Mike Scaccia...think Michael Balch was involved too early on to some capacity....Jeff Ward & Trent Reznor were part of the Beers Steers & Queers touring band...but at least you got Phildo Owens in there, Bub 👌
Picture of the liner notes on Discogs, no Luc in sight
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! I stand corrected...my bad, dude...I just checked the gatefold of my CD...call it wishful thinking but no cigar...Luc Van Acker is not in there...not even a smidgeon, lol...instead there is this Gothy looking long haired bloke, Stevie Banch, whom I know nothing about....sorry about that Brutha...I should check shit out 1st before running my mouth off, lol...
Sucks though, still want a reunion!
Killbot&GorGorAttack!! Yes...it be great to get everyone from the 1st 2 records & tours: Chris Connelly, Luc Van Acker, Richard 23, Bill Rieflin, Paul Barker, Al Jourgensen, Nivek Ogre, Trent Reznor (though he goes uncredited as an official touring member cuz he was in fact a roadie at the time who got promoted to keyboards, lol) & Phildo Owens...throw in Jello Biafra & Gibby Haynes for good measure & shits & giggles...and how the fuck could you go wrong!!! ☺️
Luc toured the record in 2006
Definitely such an underrated ministry album. Still one of my least favorites but thank God its not a "Relapse"
Very good album, not their best for sure but some really good songs.
jesus christ, kid, you /nailed/ it.
the " Angie" era. 1000 times worse than Yoko. She killed Ministry. I should know, I was there.
Never been a fan though I did like nwo when I heard it either way still really enjoyed your vid as all ways
METAL!!!!!
Look, it isn't that I haven't liked some of what Al has done in the past 15 years, in fact, he's had some great tunes, but THIS was the last REAL Ministry album. After Paul left, it just ain't the same.
Yeah but at least stuff like Houses & Rio album are definitely very cool...even the last one Amerikkkant has some Killer moments, man!!
I had to pause the video for a second, because I noticed VH1 asked Al about Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails’ song “Dirt” on his new album and if there was a song of his that he would like the Man in Black to have a go at? “Dirt”? Come on! Get the freakin’ name right!

666th like!
As much as I loved Al's autobiography, his refusal to acknowledge any of Paul Barker's input was obnoxious and frustrating. It wasn't as bad as Peter Hook's constant (but justified) bitching in his New Order autobiography, but it was close. No autobiography should ever be written unless the author is willing to be 100% honest with himself and the reader.
Yeah he’s full of shit about stuff, which is why I used interviews from the time and input from other members
They are NOT Industrial Music. They're metal.
First time disliking a vid 👎.i like you tho !!!! Alot bro
Ministry was never my thing in all honesty never hit me the right way
Relapse is an abomination...i’ll give you that but FBTE is a clever and refreshing return to form...chock full of samples and Scaccia’s last hoorah...this album has some already classic songs: Thanks but No Thanks, Change of Luck, Mikey’s Middle Finger, PermaWar....and yes, there’s sum stupid shit on there too like that song with Diana Ross samples, Lesson Unlearned, Al’s voice is so garbled and hoarse on this song...it’s a fucking mess and Perfect Storm is terrible amateur sounding drum machine with flat dull generic sounding guitars...that Fox News song is retarded too, lol...so it has some cool moments but definitely competes with Relapse in terms of BOMB status, lol...
