Since lists seem to be the thing of the day...

Mine, in no particular order:

Ministry - The Mind is A Terrible Thing to Taste
Revolting Cocks - Beers, Steers, and Queers
Skinny Puppy - Bites
KMFDM - Symbols
Birmingham 6 - Mindhallucaination
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Confessions of a Knife (more of a dance metal album, but still qualifies)
Ministry - Psalm 69
Front 242 - Tyranny
Skinny Puppy - Remission

Demanufacture



That just missed the list. That's a badass record and I still remember listening to BodyHammer on my first sound system and it was absolutely the truth when it came to loud bass and heavy guitar crunch.

Soul of a New Machine was good, but that's the last FF record I bought and enjoyed.

Not a real fan of Industrial stuff, but Static X Wisconsin Death Trip is an awesome album.

I'd have to put antichrist superstar (even though it's a hybrid) and the downward spiral up there because of the cultural significance and I honestly enjoy the albums, imagry and concepts.

The videos and themes bothered a lot of people and at the same time made them think and feel which is..mission accomplished.

Demanufacture is still superior. FF was still finding their niche when soul came out. Soul almost sounds like a death metal record but it's still classic FF.

This album introduced me to industrial metal. Mind blown!

True, although Scapegoat would have to be one of their 10 best tracks ever. FF did something that so few are able to do -- or were able to do -- especially in 1992 and that is to blend in melody. I need to look up on Youtube or wiki, but I wonder if Scott and Dino are on speaking terms again?

Uncle Al was just never able to duplicate his efforts since this. How can he? He and Paul Barker were a superior force. Joe Kelly also was outstanding on the tours. I wonder if AL and Paul are on speaking terms?

FilthPig was a great album, don't get it twisted. It contained one of the most uncanny remakes of all time in "Lay Lady Lay" and great new stuff such as Crumbs, Lava, Filth Pig, and Brick Windows -- each were so awesome. Still, the album sounded too lazy and too drawn out...6 minute songs and such. Then, "The Darkside of the Spoon" just felt like a bunch of B sides from Psalm 69. I dunno...I just haven't thought Ministry was able to top what it did in 1988, 1989, and 1992 with the 3 GREAT albums. I remember hearing "The Land of Rape and Honey (the song)" and my mind was BLOWN.

Rio Grande Blood is up there with Psalm 69. Not as revolutionary but still really good.

Doubt it, it seems Dino is hard to get along with. He and his 1st vocalist in Divine Heresy had a falling out too.

I don't really know but I think he's just an egomaniac. It sucks because the guy is a beast on guitar.

All things MINISTRY!!!!!!!!



But, here goes my list with only one record per band, or else there would be many repeats from me.

Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Skinny Puppy - Rabies (Remission if not using "Metal" qualification)
NIN - Downward Spiral
Pailhead - Trait
The God Machine - Scenes from the Second Story *Go find this record now! Such a great piece. Their drummer died of an aneurism (if memory serves) and they split afterwards. They did release a second record, but it wasn't as good.
Godflesh - Streetcleaner
KMFDM - Naïve
Rammstein - Senshuct (spelling correct?)
Prong - Cleansing
The Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Deidos Mi Amigos


for a couple of non metal ones that I love:

Nitzer Ebb - That Total Age
Front 242 - Tyranny For You
Revolting Cocks - Beers, Steers and Queers
Single Gun Theory - Exorcize This Wasteland
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Confessions of a Knife
Die Warzau - Engine
