I was always partial to 'Land of Rape and Honey' although many regarded 'Mind is a terrible Thing to Taste' as the best. Both albums were I thought were awesome however.

If you're not a Ministry fan you might want to disregard this thread rather that waste time posting 'Ministry sucks, U2 rules' or something gay like that.

The Land of Rape and Honey is named after Tisdale, Saskatchewan, 'cause they produce a lot of rape and honey around there. They have the world's biggest bee, too. I spent so much time in Tisdale as a kid. Woo!

And yeah, Rape and Honey is probably my favorite album of theirs. Though I'm quite partial to Twitch, as well.

What, no love for Psalm 69!? Best Ministry album ever.

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone would bring that one up. Psalm 69 had some very good songs on it, however some of the songs I didn't care for as much. Scarecrow was probably my favorite song on there, N.W.O and Just one Fix were awesome but some songs just seemed like noise to me and didn't stick with me as much.

I think the main problem with Psalm 69 is that it just got too commercialized and went too 'mainstream' whereas their earlier albums seemed more original, had more listenable songs on them, and didn't seem to get enough attention. Maybe just my opinion, but I thought Psalm 69 was a little overrated, whereas the previous 2 or 3 albums were a little underrated.

The last two songs off the album are garbage but everything else was pure gold. C'mon. Jesus Built My Hot Rod? It had the guy from Butthole Surfers.

For some reason I never really cared for Jesus built my Hotrod. I also hated TVII. However I loved Psalm 69(the song).
