this album was very interesting to listen to because finally got to hear al jourgensen play lead and he is awesome. i couldn't tell how good he was when i listened to a ministry album because they always had additional personnel playing guitar. this band is the next best thing to ministry.it rules!!!!

You folks,
This is a buy or die record - it totally rules! Nuff said.

1990's The Last Temptation Of Reid was a great LP for the unique industrial band Lard. Seven years later, Pure Chewing Satisfaction arrived.

It's hard for one to deny that 97's Satisfaction is much more than variations of Reid at first (and they mostly are), but the key is to keep those variations interesting, and Lard does precisely that with top-notch production, and a NIN-ish atmosphere. Most importantly Lard, is political, preachy, dark, and therefore, almost sure to affend mainstream conservatives.

Biafra's social messages are filtered through humor, and the humor may sound somewhat dated, but it's an honesty that was reflective of the mid 90's where former President's Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton (at least in Jello's perspective) caused more disruption than solutions.

Standouts are : the driving War Pimp Reniassance, the atmospheric Moths, the dark irony of Generation Execute, and the pulsing beat of Sidewinder

well this to me is a album that definately deserves a couple of listens to kind of grow on ya.when you have the likes of jello and al jourgensen to deal with..this is really the same concept thing as either the dks or ministry the only difference they have made one hell of a combo together entirely.not the gothic slam thing of ministry or the surf punk thing of the dks but taking the 2 bands concepts and making the both of them work together making more of a groove in your face polital satire that either you can dance to or think to.also with a increadible production sound that will give anyone a reason at first to listen to this album again.so if you like both the dks (jello)and ministry you will definately like this one but you must really be a fan of both bands on this one to get the full effect of this album .thats why i only give it 4 stars because there are very few fans of both bands together.which is a shame!!!!!

This third album from Jello Biafra and Ministry is mostly outtakes from the "Last Temptation of Reid" sessions that deserved to be outtakes. Unintelligible drivel with half-assed lyrics. "I Wanna Be a Drug-Sniffing Dog" rips in true DK fashion, and "Sidewinder" provides some of Biafra's trademark creep-out ambience, but the rest is lazy. Collage-art packing is great reading, however. But also merely points out the facts that threats to our liberty and sanity deserve a stronger defense than this disc.--J. Ruch

...lard is pretty ..good but the high pitched ... vocals of Jello dont exactly mix with the muddy industrial sounds of ministry. Overall the cd is good...

The editor has no taste. Filth Pig is Ministrys best album. Its slow, but it has such a great sound and great songwriting. I even prefer it over Psalm 69. But now for Pure Chewing Satisfaction. Its Lard, yes. But its not The Last Temptation of Reid. There are no songs as "Fork Boy" or "Can god fill teeth". Just a few godd songs, most of them so la la (for lard), but good compared to other industrial bands and albums.
