The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This was the record that definitively turned Ministry from an electro-industrial dance band into a cutting-edge metal act. With distorted vocals, pounding drum machines, and ripping guitar chords, songs like "Thieves" and "Burning Inside" merged computer technology with metallic riffology, setting the pace for dozens of second-rate computer nerds to follow. --Jon Wiederhorn --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars Super Rock!.......2007-07-24

These guys are totally awesome! This is like the best album to have if you love industrial rock! Check out So What. It is no-doubt the very best track on this disc. You won't be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest albums ever!.......2007-06-24

If your new to the industrial metal genre of music, all I can say, is that this is essential. This is one of the most important rock albums ever as far as I'm conscerned, but certainly one of the most important metal albums in the industrial scene. Songs like "Breathe", "So What", and "Burning Inside" are amongst the many killer tracks on this five star album that never tires your ears. I love it now, I loved it than, and I will always love it. So will you.

5 out of 5 stars Get it here - only partially available through iTunes........2006-10-28

Others have already pointed out that this is a terrific album, it's honestly one of Ministy's best but if you were thinking you'd just pop over to iTunes and get it there be aware that they only have a partial album available for you to download. Get it here. If you buy the partial album through iTunes you'll miss out on 'So What!' which is truly a milestone in the legacy of Minitry's best.

5 out of 5 stars great album.......2006-07-08

This is one of the best albums from Ministry. Along with of course Psalm 69, and Houses of The Mole. For those of you wondering, I think that beautiful singing heard in the background of "Dream Song" is Bulgarian choir singing. That's probably my favorite track too. I agree with the reviewer who said it's mesmerizing. An incredible mix of electronics and Bulgarian choirs. My other favorite tracks are Burning Inside, the strange Cannibal Song, and So What. Pick up this album if you're a Ministry fan! Laters.

5 out of 5 stars Classic .......2006-03-07

If you were not around when this first came out, you will never understand the intensity that it signified. There were hard groups, but nothing that sounded like this cd did. After The Land of Rape and Honey, which was just as great, there was something missing in the whole "industrial" scene. This filled the gap, and lost the "disco" edge and lameness that had become of the scene before and after this release. Pure class, get it no matter what.
