The Land of Rape and Honey [Sire, 1988]Alain Jourgenson is said to hate Steve Albini, and why not, but I still think Big Black changed his life. Whomp whomp whomp whomp, these huge ugly slabs of beat are like the metal of dreams, all urban din and therapeutic brain damage, only done with synthesizers. Though I wish I knew what they were bellowing about down in the abyss, this will tone up your innards a lot more efficiently than whatever's hep in garage grunge these days. And you can dance to it--supposedly. B+
>>130498079"hizbollah" by ministry is a stolen Big Black song, or something among those lines. you can hear the original version as the intro of an old big black live video in chicago.
>>130498127Other way around, brah. Cold life I'm Falling https://youtu.be/ddYQ-3nxQfI?si=x8OA2SkHIaVdQ8Ochttps://youtu.be/01FNU3vg34s?si=YZrOvrunQYZeok5xCame out more than a year ahead of big black's first release.You know what else, you know the mid 80s chicago house everyone circlejerks over?Al was the mixer/producer/engineer on a bunch of those songs either not named or under a pseudonym, the "songwriters" paid him in drugs instead of money.If anything, Ministry is a HUGE ripoff of Killing Joke not Big Black.
Al fried his brain from drugs a long time ago.
>>130498948ok, my bad, finally found it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubqWbfg2elQthe introroland barker is credited, paul's brother and occasional ministry member
>>130498079Still, I love how he trolled critics with Filthpig when they were expecting him to just remake TLORAH for the rest of eternity and instead he decided to target the NIN and Pantera fans.
>>130500469bad and soporific album, even though the last one not completely shit. bought it when it came out, was disappointed and gave up on ministry.
