Biography

Ministry was an American industrial band formed in 1981. The current members are Al Jourgensen (founder member), Tommy Victor, David Ellefson, Jimmy DeGrasso, John Bechdel and Sin Quirin, though there have been many former members throughout the life of the band.

In the early days the sound of Ministry was more synth-pop, epitomized by their first release, 1983’s With Sympathy. The second album,… Read more in Amazon's Ministry Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Twitch ~ Ministry, April 29, 2005
By 
Bjorn Viberg (European Union) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twitch (Audio CD)
Twitch sound nothing like Jourgensens later forays into industrial metal and sounds more like a mix between pop and heavy electronic music. Considering it was recorded and produced back in 1986 one can easily hear influence from bands like Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and even withouy the guitars this is a very aggresive and heavy album. Jourgensen uses his fair share of voice treatments and the end result is very much like the sound used by FLA and Skinny Puppy. The cover art is confusing and I have no idea what it is supposed to convey. The lyrics are well written and Jourgensen is a much better vocalist the people give him credit. The book-let is sparse and there is not much of anything it besides some credits and the list of tracks.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good piece of Dance Music, August 2, 2000
This review is from: Twitch (Audio CD)
Twitch is a sort of "middle ground" in the Ministry catalogue of albums. Pre-Twitch, you have the catchy, breezy, euro-synthpop of With Sympathy and The Twelve-inch Singles. Post-Twitch, Ministry is darker, harsher and heavier, beginning with the landmark industrial album The Land of Rape and Honey. On Twitch, Al Jourgensen begins to move away from the melodic synth-pop and into a slightly more grating, unconventional approach. The breezy pop stylings of previous works can still be found in tracks such as The Angel, Over the Shoulder and the All Day remix, however the rest of the music, for the most part, takes on a darker direction. Twitch showcases Al Jourgensen's talents as an electronic artist before he fell in love with the guitar riff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it or Hate it.., February 3, 2006
This review is from: Twitch (Audio CD)
This album has a special place in my heart. Forget what you know about present day Ministry and listen musically. Its very much an 80's sound, but even so it still was ahead of it's time.

This is one of my essential albums of all time. For the price of this album you would be a fool not to own a copy. I have this, and the 'Twitched' album version myself, and plan to buy both cd copies also. Some say that there's only a few good tracks on here, but i disagree fully. "Good" is a relative term based on different criteria, but i feel each and every track has something to offer, and has it's place on this album. I hesitate NOT one second to give it a 5 for that reason. I love this album!
