Specialists/collaborators reviews

SilentScream213
The album starts off quite energetically, with some simple yet aggressive and heavy riffs and some artificial but effective beats with some nice double bass work giving it some extra power. After the first couple of songs, it shifts more towards Electro-Industrial territory and loses its metallic edge. It also slows down considerably, and relies on sampling to break its simple, repetitive beats. Most of the non-musical noises thrown in add little to the sound and are usually just abrasive for the sake of being abrasive. The instrumental tracks are especially hard to bear, as Al’s manic, crazed vocals are one of the main appeals to the album.

An incredibly unique record when it was first conceived, and highly influential to Industrial Metal and other similar circles of music. Today, it is too simple and limited without offering any staying power to hold up very well.
Warthur
A savage and deeply uncomfortable fusion of gothy dance music with sick metal riffs, Ministry's Land of Rape and Honey wrote the rulebook for industrial metal and does so with all the anger, bile, vitriol and fury expected of the band. Like the other great man of industrial music Trent Reznor, Al Jourgensen has an uncanny knack for finding sounds that burrow into your head and worm around inside there and won't let you go. You'll be dancing to this one because it's too uncomfortable to sit still too, and too damn enjoyable not to get on the dancefloor for. A great starting point for any exploration of Ministry's music.
