Just a decade ago, Ministry broke out from its 80's synth-dance music with a pretty little album called Psalm 69. With repetitive, snarling guitars, hellish vocals, weird screams and pounding drums; Ministry became sort of the antagonist band to all that was available in the music market at that time.

The album kicks off with the great 'N.W.O', a track that uses one of George Bush's speeches, giving a sort of aggressive political twist to the song. This track gives just a little taste to what will the rest of the album will be. Next is 'Just One Fix', a song with weird screams, repetitive guitars. Just brutal, raw industrial metal. 'Hero' and 'TV II' are just as aggressive and intriguing as the last two. 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' is probably the best song of the entire CD. With the collaboration of the Butthole Surfers? singer, Gibby Haines and its unbelievably silly lyrics, this is one of the most tuneful track ever made by Ministry. After this, the album moves into a much slower pace. I mean, 75 minutes of pure ear-pounding industrial would be quite annoying for anyone. 'Scarecrow' is a slow, calm track that uses a guitar riff similar to 'When The Levee Breaks', definitely a refreshing song. The last two tracks are a bunch of nightmarish yells and noise. The first track is appropriately named 'Corrosion' and the last one has the ironic title of 'Grace'.

For a common person, Psalm 69 is just mere noise but for those who love this genre, it is metal mixed with originality and some sort of grace to it.
