Ministry was only at their best when Barker was involved and Jourgensen was strung out on heroin and paranoid that concert goers were out to shoot him on stage.
He never grasped the fact that their best material was played slow and with atmosphere. Fuck the "speed" shit.
Yup, I liked that one too. I thought that album was half good songs/half meh whereas I liked every song on all their previous albums. I heard (can't remember the source) that their last tour they were pretty rough. I doubt I'll be heading to this.

Filth Pig is under rated. They recorded it themselves with a freshly built home studio. Problem was they had to learn how to use all the shit and spent a lot of time fussing with technical shit.
My favorite is Mind is a terrible thing to taste.
I've never gotten to see Ministry but I fear seeing them now would taint my love of their glory days.
