  Essential Industrial metal at its best
Review created: 19/08/08

Considered by some to be there best album to date and certainly a must have for any fan of industrial, goth/ metal. This album is worth it just for the first three tracks and the corrossive trawl of scarecrow is awesome. The other tracks are exellent too - ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ, which is printed on the record, is Greek for "head" or "leader". The title was borrowed from Aleister Crowley's work: The Book of Lies (Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs). Psalm 69 became Ministry's biggest hit, including in addition to "Jesus Built My Hotrod" the singles "N.W.O." (a protest of the Persian Gulf War and attack directed at then-President George H.W. Bush) and "Just One Fix" (a collaboration with poet/novelist William S. Burroughs).
and the album is rounded off by grace which sounds like a horde of fallen angels singing, pleading and descending to the murky depths *fantastic*

track listing is as follows

1. N.W.O.
2. Just One Fix
3. T.V. II
4. Hero
5. Jesus Built My Hotrod
6. Scarecrow
7. Psalm 69
8. Corrosion
9. Grace

  Psalm 69 ministry
Review created: 03/06/06

bought to replaced the worn out tape i have owned for many years. Has to be one of Ministry's best pieces of work - prehaps worthy of being called a clasic in the field of industrial music (although the whole concept of classic industrial seems a bit wierd to me). Best track has to be N.W.O as a personal favourite but also has jesu built my hotrod, psalm 69, scarecrow. Having been avialable for many years theres nothing on here that should surprise anyone but this is an album that should be in the collection of anyone who likes there music heavy.
