Here we go. This is the BEST industrial album ever recorded. A milestone. A beacon that attracted hundreds of other industrial bands to it's bright light. Bands like Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Fear Factory, Gravity Kills, Static-X and hundreds more all claim to owe part of their sound to "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste". It is truly incredible what Al Jourgensen, Paul Barker and their many friends have done here.

I don't know why, but I found this album boring, although it's similar to Psalms 69, which I love.
Thieves is a good song.

Was relistening to Wire's Pink Flag when I got hit by some familiar vocal melodies, thinking it's probably a cover of a song I know, but nope it's an original song. And then I realized that it sounded exactly like "Thieves" from this record.





It's an obvious homage, which is pretty cool.

My favorite Ministry album so far. A perfect mixture of electronics and metal (and not only metal). I love the sampling, song structures and more. Sound a bit more "mechanic" but less electronic. Like something perfectly fitted between Land of Rape and Honey and Psalm 69.
