this is DEFINITELY the single best lard release you can get your hands on. it's also some of jello's best work. you might recognise "forkboy" from the jail riot scene in natural born killers, and while that is an adrenaline junky's wet dream, there are also a ton of other equally great tracks on here! if you like jello, GET IT! if you like '88-'90 ministry stuff, GET IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Ministry Side Project With Jello Biafra, June 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Temptation of Reid (Audio CD)

I love this album! It is a creation of the masterminds behind my two favorite bands: Dead Kennedys and Ministry. The lyrics and vocals on this album are all done by Jello Biafra, sung to tunes cooked up by Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker of Ministry. Track 1, Forkboy, was featured on the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack.

The music is a "punk meets industrial" kind of hybrid. The lyrics are like Dead Kennedys reincarnated, but not just the same old stuff. This is one of my favorite albums in my collection. END

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely mental!, June 18, 1998

Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys and Alien Jourgensen from Ministry, what a scray combination! And it works on most tracks. The cover or 'They're Coming To take Me Away(Ha ha)' is a gem. 'Can God Fill Teeth?' is suitably hilarious with Biafra's spoken word ranting about conspiracy theories involving bugging devices; 'Forkboy' is an adrenaline rush of pure punk thrash and 'Bozo Skeleton' is a stab at censorship and the Washington Wives . . . scary to think that Tipper Gore will be First Lady one day! Why should we be told what we can and can't listen to! Jello Biafra, in all his musical projects has never pandered to the masses, and he never will. Quite right too. The only duff track on the album is 'I Am Your Clock', which gets tediously drawn out, like some second-rate copy of early Swans sado-mnasochistic slow noise onslaught. But on the whole, an essential purchase for DKs and Ministry fans! Check out 'Drug Raid At 4AM' too, with its satirical, heavy industrial stab at overenthusiastic cops!
