Ministry - The Last Sucker

I just discovered Ministry. I remember that you recommended the band to me a long time ago when we were discussing to include the Quake OST to the QuakeDC(Evo) release, but it wasn't until I heard Ministry's fantastic interpretations of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" and Black Sabbath's "Supernaut" that I fell in love with them. "Supernaut" was released under the "1000 Homo DJs" alias, and there's also an alternate version featuring Trent Reznor on vocals.

I'm glad you finally checked them out. The albums I would recommend (in order from the most recommended to the least recommended) are:
Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Rio Grande Blood
Psalm 69 (sometimes called the Runes album, because the official title of the album is written in some sort of rune-type language)
Land of Rape and Honey
The Last Sucker
Filth Pig (that's the one with Lay, Lady Lay)

I wouldn't bother with "With Sympathy", unless you're looking for Brit-synth-pop (I like the album, but I also consider Erasure one of my top 25 bands)

Twitch is a little harder-edged than With Sympathy, and is kind of similar to NIN's Pretty Hate Machine (a little less heavy than that, though, and it's still got a bit of the Brit-synth-pop vibe)

Dark Side of the Spoon is just a disaster. It's way too obscure for my tastes. Granted, Ministry is one of my top three favorite bands of all time, so I still own it and listen to it, occasionally, but it's definitely not one I'd recommend to anyone trying to get into Ministry.

Animositisomina and Houses of the Mole are both half-decent, but not spectacular.

Also, I really like the older REM records, especially "Automatic for the People", "Monster" and "Up". Regarding the 80s stuff you've bought I still need to give them the time these records would deserve.

That's funny. I wouldn't consider Automatic for the People or Monster to be older R.E.M. records. In fact, Monster is where I initially parted ways with R.E.M., because I really didn't like it. Out of Time had one or two good songs, but it wasn't amazing. Automatic for the People had some great songs on it, but the few singles that were released off it were so over-played, I got tired of the whole album.

You really should invest some time in the early R.E.M. records - they are so much better than anything released in the nineties and beyond.

Thanks for that list. Will try to track down these records first

People who don't like Erasure make me sad.

True; after realizing that your list does consist of 80's stuff only, I probably should have rephrased that. I consider everything before "Up" to be "earlier REM" and everything after "Up" to be "newer REM".

In fact, Monster is where I initially parted ways with R.E.M., because I really didn't like it.

It's easily one of their best, if not their best. You gotta give it another chance. There isn't anything like it.

Out of Time had one or two good songs, but it wasn't amazing.

Very good record with which I am having the problems you're having with 'Automatic'. I agree that it doesn't have many good songs, but it works as an album. The production is fantastic!

I will. I got quite a few actually.
