Album Notes
Ministry: A. Jourgensen, P. Barker.
On FILTH PIG, industrial progenitors Ministry eschew the layers of maxed-out programmings, high velocity BPMs and feral samples that dominated PSALMS 69, LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY and THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO TASTE. FILTH PIG opts for a still ferocious, but tighter, plodding, more death-metal sound, recorded in real time with a preponderance of guitar and bass. On this release, Al Jourgensen's satanic vocals ride atop a heavy, distorted and booming rhythm section evoking White Zombie or Black Sabbath, as songs like "Lava," "Filth Pig" and "Crumb" viscerallly inspire head banging. Credit them for pushing their own musical envelope with an interpretation of Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" featuring lap steel and strummy acoustic guitar (worth the price of admission alone just to hear Jourgensen belt out "I long to see you in the morning/I long to reach for you all night"). In the same vein, check out "The Fall," with its cascading piano line. A great album to piss your parents off with.

Editorial Reviews
6 - Reasonably Good - ...discrete blasts of techno grunge--mean, pointed, and ass-kicking enough to make even the staunchest Megadeth fan boogie....Al Jourgensen turns down the TV and offers slower, druggier soundtracks and lurid existentialism...
Spin (02/01/1996)

...On FILTH PIG, Ministry turns into a ponderous heavy-metal band on the order of Slayer, playing dense, sinister, bottom-heavy songs...
New York Times (02/25/1996)

...what makes this Ministry album seem heavier than metal is this lumbering, animal menace of the rhythm section....Ministry adds a measure of humanity to the music without ever compromising its in-your-face aggression...
Musician (04/01/1996)

...smackhead nihilism...delivered in the familiar Dalek-gargling-on-a-glass-splinter-Slush-Puppy vocals....A record to admire rather than love. Unless you're into pain.
Melody Maker (01/27/1996)

7 (out of 10) - ...toe-shatteringly fierce industrial stompings and grinding riffs of the teeth-gritting variety. Oh, and they don't mind shoving the `harm' into `harmonica' now and again....resembles Led Zeppelin's `Kashmir' being battered about in a blender...
NME (01/27/1996)

RECORD GRADING POLICY AND NOTES :

ts: torn shrink wrap (sealed records only)
wlp: white label promo
woc: writing on cover

wob: writing on back
wol: writing on label
ss: seam split

snr: seam needs regluing (is regluing a word?)
re: reissue
co: cut out (notch, punch hole, clip corner etc.)
gf: gate fold jacket

Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. There may be one or two small inaudible defects. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other sights of slight handling. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defects including cut-outs.

Excellent (EX): A record that should play near mint but has a few slight visible marks. The album will have as much luster as an NM, there just may be some superficial scuffs from the sleeve or very light hairlines that shouldn't be audible. An EX album cover subjectively fits somewhere in between VG+ and NM.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not significantly affect play. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a short seam-split. An LP jacket may have signs of wear such as light to moderate ring wear and may have a cut-out hole, saw mark or cut corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches ( some deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, just two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good+ condition can be put onto a turntable and should play through without skipping although it may have significant surface noise and scratches along with visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve may have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the subject.

Poor (P), Fair (F): These records will generally not be listed.
