Description by OLDIES.com:

First U.S. Vinyl Release includes: Jesus Built My Hotrod, N.W.O. & Just One Fix. "A- Like Metallica in overdrive...Wonderfully obnoxious, and therefore nearly perfect" -Dave DiMartino, Entertainment Weekly. "A- These perverts claim they're not industrial, which is true only in the sense that Led Zeppelin wasn't metal; they may be too good for the category, but that doesn't mean they're not of it. And like Led Zep. they're cold bastards who are worth your time even if you think you don't like what they do, which is toning up your cardiovascular system by running you over with a tank." -Robert Christgau.

Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 9/17/92, p.91

3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "...nastiness at its most Spartan: snarling guitars, hound-from-hell vocals and sternum-crushing percussion, with the occasional shock-effect sample...Ministry doesn't just ventilate its postmodern blues; it incinerates them..."

Spin - 12/92, p.67

Ranked #5 in Spin's list of the '20 Best Albums Of The Year' - "...Like a Terminator, this beastly music crashes and burns--and then comes back strengthened for the kill..."

Spin - 9/92, p.102

Highly Recommended - "...PSALM 69 takes the Chicago house-music pound and gives it the leviathan metallic crunch it's long been begging for...If punk aimed to smash discos, Ministry is about to decimate smart bars. Dance at your own risk..."

Entertainment Weekly - 7/31/92, p.62

"...Pain has never felt this good before...The thrash guitars that predominate here sound like Metallica in overdrive...Wonderfully obnoxious, and therefore nearly perfect..." - Rating: A-

Q - 7/01, p.88

Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time".

Q - 9/92, p.78

3 Stars - Good - "...heavy, speed-freak intoxicants of a high order...it sweats like tarmac under a burning sun...[Ministry] create temples of sound..."

Option - Nov.-Dec./92, p.132

"...finds the group now firmly in control of its medium-fast, techno-metal sound....an entertaining album..."

Reflex - 11/10/92, p.74

"...this is the guitar-heaviest thing they've ever done..."

Kerrang (Magazine) - p.53

"A commercial breakthrough....It was simpler, but no less in your face than previous work."
