ministry - twitched

released: 2003
label: radioactive

i'm not sure if'n it's old age or i'm becoming more tolerant of things but lately i've been kind of digging on some early ministry. i actually prefer it to anything they've released after FILTH PIG.

in my opinion the harder edged version of ministry started showing itself on the TWITCH album (you can hear it in "just like you" and "over the shoulder" and "where you at now?/crash and burn/twitch (version 2)" just to name a few examples).

"but bro? what about THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY,bro? to me that's where they started coming into their own. just listen to-"

THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY had to come from somewhere....and TWITCH was it.

what this is bringing to the table is the original mix of the TWITCH album (tracks 1-8) and the OVER THE SHOULDER 12" (tracks 10-12) and a version of the song "the angel" that was meant for a 7" but was never released.
