Ministry's third album from 1988, originally released on Sire, marked a turn for the band. In this one they brought in more heavy metal guitars to their EDM approach.
Famous for both its pornographic album photo (the political backlash resulted in the Parental Advisory Label) and for inspiring the next generation of Industrial Music contemporaries (Nine Inch Nails) with tracks like “Dig It” and “Stairs and Flowers”.
The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste (1989) by Ministry is an industrial metal landmark, fusing thrash aggression, harsh electronics, and politically charged fury into a relentless, apocalyptic soundscape.
