Ministry "Filth Pig" Album Review
Best Album Ever
This highly controversial album is either loved or hated by its listeners. It's either embraced for not being Psalm 69 II, or despised for not being Psalm 69. What seems to get lost in the shuffle between the bickering as to whether this was a drug induced misstep, or a calculated move to divide the fan base, is the fact that this is a very solid album.
This album is not easy to digest, and I have to admit, that after one listen, I wasn't very impressed. Sure, songs like "Lava" and "Dead Guy" blew me away after the initial listen, but "Reload", the title track, and "Game Show" just didn't interest me at all. After popping this CD into my computer's CD Rom just about every single afternoon for a couple of weeks, it finally clicked. I finally understood the album and understood the grooves and anger that went into each song. After about 10 listens, I began to worship songs like "Game Show" and "Reload". "Game Show" is like a slowed down version of Master of Puppets and "Crumbs" and "Filth Pig" are just songs that I can't help but scream along to, although they are pretty repetitive. My biggest complaint is that I couldn't get a louder sound out of my monitor speakers. No matter how high I cranked up the volume, it just didn't seem to satisfy me. To appreciate this album, you just have to have this stuff vibrate through you. Another wonderful thing about this album is that each song is unique and has its own personality. Granted, each one of these personalities can sneak into your home at night and stab you in the back 35 times, but its easy to differentiate each song from the next. When I listen to Slayer's Reign in Blood and Sepultura's Beneath the Remains, the songs begin to sound the same, if not very similar to each other, and it gets boring after a while.
This album should be appreciated for what it is, not what it was "expected" to be.
Video Ministry - Filth Pig
Well I started out younger at things that people start younger at A thousand days and nights of getting overexposed Then someone asks, "How do you sleep at night?" With the borrowed dreams from a broken man You keep runnin' away don't matter how far You always wind up there Another thousand pileups in the ugly name of morality Fucking ugly, some creepy guy keeps asking "How the fuck do you sleep at night?" With a broken dream and a borrowed hope that died Filth pig, filth pig He sleeps with both eyes open Filth pig, filth pig You keep chasing this tail but the tail gets bigger go figure A thousand more stories keep the fires and flames alive So how the fuck do you dream at night? With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty lies Filth pig, filth pig He sleeps with both eyes open Filth pig, filth pig He sleeps all right because he's a Filth pig

Black Dice "Broken Ear Record" Album Review
Damn thing's crazy.
This was my first Black Dice album, and I, like most people when they first hear Black Dice, had this reaction: "What the f**k is this s**t?"
I was a little shocked by just how far this band was from making anything remotly close to "music," yet...you can snap your fingers and dance to this album! As weird and arty and crazy as it sounds, there are some discernable melodies and hooks in with the madness.
Standout tracks would have to be the creaking groovy "Snarly Yow" and "Smiling Off", which has some really messsed-up guitar and a great drum groove. This is also one of the most psychedelic albums I've heard in a while. It's music that makes you feel stoned without getting stoned. That's a great feat, in my opinion.
So, if you enjoy electronic music without all that Chemical-brothers "one more time" [..], this is for you.
