Ministry's best album. If you disagree with me, you are wrong.

enjoying the initial style here but the album kind of goes nowhere, is too repetitive and also really peeters out towards the end. good beats, great sound but little payoff. Abortive as the final track is a crime, that thing actively annoys me.

Ministry wasn't always making aggressive industrial metal that shot themselves to the forefront of the genre. In their early days they made synthpop, and eventually evolved into EBM a la Skinny Puppy. The Land Of Rape And Honey acts as a midway point of their final transformation from EBM into full-on industrial metal, and it's pretty good. The one-two punch of the catchy "Stigmata" and the punk-sounding "The Missing" is an excellent way to start the album, which progressively gets more electronically driven as it goes forward, beginning with the wonderfully bassy "Golden Dawn". By the time "Abortive" ends, the album has gone back to its EBM roots, but the bridge to future releases like Psalm 69 was definitely created with this record, especially in the first trio of songs.

Everybody in the world's gonna have to die sometime. This isn't just survival of the fittest, for as the industrially-aggressive The Land of Rape and Honey keeps on telling us, this entire realm we're living comfortably in will turn into a barren wasteland sooner or later. The album's cellar-like quality, alongside Al Jourgensen's not-so-prominent shouts which represent an alcoholic form of rebellion, is bound to give its people more than just a deadly smack in the filthy mouth.
