Ministry – The Land Of Rape And Honey

Review# 363

Just to set the record straight first up, Ministry did not just happen to think up the land of rape and honey as a song/album title. They pinched it from a town in Canada. While on tour they were stopped in this town which grew a lot of honey and rapeseed (re-branded into eveyones favourite; canola) and in the gift shop were mugs that said that they were "The Land Of Rape And Honey". I read that on Wikipedia so its most certainly 100% true. All that aside, this is a most brilliant album. The sound of it is grainy which suits it down to a T. The songs are great, kicked off with the ever popular Stigmata, with a lot of varying sounds throughout. Really its just another great album from the ever awesome Ministry.
