 Psalm 69: A Way To Succeed And A Way To Suck Eggs |Sire, 1992| 
N.W.O., Just One Fix, TV II, Hero, Jesus Built My Hotrod, Scarecrow, Psalm 69, Corrosion, Grace
Ministry evolves what is seen on the last six records and on Psalm 69 as well.
Most of bands influenced by Ministry music mention this album as the most favourite. Just One Fix stuck in my memory a lot, the same with NWO and Psalm 69. The minus is the band made a lot of songs which could be remembered easily. ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz. Must not be used for promotional or commercial purposes.

 Filth Pig |Warner Bros, 1996| 
Reload, Filthpig, Lava, Crumbs, Useless, Dead Guy, Gameshow, The Fall, Lay Lady Lay, Brick Window
Filth Pig starts a new era in Ministry evolution. Music became heavier and stuffier. Lay Lady Lay it's a single top shit and the cover version of Bob Dylan's song as well.
The album neither knocks out nor disappoints. I would leave only Lava, Brick Window and Lay Lady Lay in the playlist. If someone of you collects Ministry albums should have this one too just to see the contrast to the earlier releases. ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz.

 With Sympathy |Arista, 1983|
Effigy (I'm not an), Revenge, I Wanted To tell Her, Work For Love, Here We Go, What He Say, Say You're Sorry, Should Have Known Better, She's Got A Cause,
Well, it's a music suitable for sorta "The 80's collection" which could contain songs of such bands like Wham, Pet Shop Boys, Falco, Thompson Twins, Human League, Kajagoogoo... It seems like another story but the story is finished once for all, altho the music sounds pretty well as for the 80's. I was wondering how this album could sound like, because I've heard lots of weird descriptions about With Sympathy... I though nothing could surprise me after Twitch, but those silly title songs and the knowledge that THIS Jourgensen sang serenades with a high voice in Revenge, Say You're Sorry or She's Got A Cause made me astonished. It's incredible somehow but it's a disco music :) ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz. Must not be used for promotional or commercial purposes. See a Legal Note for the copyrights below)
 The Greates Fits |Warner Bros, 2001|
What About Us?, Stigmata, The Land Of Rape And Honey, Thieves, So What (Live), N.W.O., Just One Fix, Jesus Built My Hotrod, Reload 12", Lay Lady Lay, Supermanic Soul, Bad Blood, Supernaut
Scary. Ministry, the cult band playing industrial rock/metal music releases .. the best of their songs. A collection! Seems like a way to disband or a way to earn more money to put out a new release...
The collection contains songs recorded between 1989 a 2000r. plus What About Us, a song for the movie "A.I" by Steven Spielberg, and 1000 Homo DJs' "Supernaut" song. It's a pleasure there are so well known and liked songs kind of Stigmata, So What, Just One Fix, Lay Lady Lay and a Matrix pearl - Bad Blood. The pity is there is no Brick Window song.
It's an album for a newbie who wants to get to know Ministry music and a collector to have something to put on the CD shelf. But on the whole it's not enough to buy a record for one new song, 12" version of Reload, Supernaut and a live version of So What. ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz.
