What the Critics Say
Each new Ministry album is an exercise in stress-testing the listener, generating a sonic bombardment that grinds through the outer protective layers and churns up whatever lies beneath. The lyrics in Ministry songs often don't matter -- what matters is the tone and shape of the music, the precise way in which instruments sounds and samples are twisted, straightened, kinked, crushed, broken, reassembled, done unto, whether drum sounds have this kind of gated reverb or that kind of overdriven chorusing, and just what they mean to impart with this tempo or that. Filth Pig is 54 minutes of slow-churn sandpaper attitude, a record that includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" that is one half friendly homage and one half power-tool demolition derby. This is Ministry, though, a race through dark places, driven by the razorbass. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music Guide
