There's no question that Ministry's 1996 album Filth Pig was its weakest effort in years, but for anyone who thought the industrial engine had run out of steam, the band's side-project album Pure Chewing Satisfaction is concrete proof that Ministry's creative juices are still flowing blood red. Lard features the band along with ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra, and this, the group's second disc, is an electrifying blend of speed, precision, and political satire. Returning to the propulsive, crunching guitars and cracking drums that defined Ministry in the early '90s, Lard makes up for lost ground, while at the same time plunging full-throttle into the future with cutting-edge production and biting, contemporary lyrics. "I went to Blockhead Video to rent a tape of people making love/Couldn't find no lovin' here/It's a family store, see here/ ... I settled for Faces of Death, but they rented it to some kid," sings Biafra in "Generation Execute" in his trademarked nasal whine. --Jon Wiederhorn

Lard still sounds great despite the long gap.......2005-06-14

1990's The Last Temptation Of Reid was a great LP for the unique industrial band Lard. Seven years later, Pure Chewing Satisfaction arrived.

It's hard for one to deny that 97's Satisfaction is much more than variations of Reid at first (and they mostly are), but the key is to keep those variations interesting, and Lard does precisely that with top-notch production, and a NIN-ish atmosphere. Most importantly Lard, is political, preachy, dark, and therefore, almost sure to affend mainstream conservatives.

Biafra's social messages are filtered through humor, and the humor may sound somewhat dated, but it's an honesty that was reflective of the mid 90's where former President's Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton (at least in Jello's perspective) caused more disruption than solutions.

Standouts are : the driving War Pimp Reniassance, the atmospheric Moths, the dark irony of Generation Execute, and the pulsing beat of Sidewinder

Should have stayed with the dead kennedys.......2002-10-18

...lard is pretty ..good but the high pitched ... vocals of Jello dont exactly mix with the muddy industrial sounds of ministry. Overall the cd is good...

dks vs ministry =smart music to dance and think about!!!.......2002-01-16

well this to me is a album that definately deserves a couple of listens to kind of grow on ya.when you have the likes of jello and al jourgensen to deal with..this is really the same concept thing as either the dks or ministry the only difference they have made one hell of a combo together entirely.not the gothic slam thing of ministry or the surf punk thing of the dks but taking the 2 bands concepts and making the both of them work together making more of a groove in your face polital satire that either you can dance to or think to.also with a increadible production sound that will give anyone a reason at first to listen to this album again.so if you like both the dks (jello)and ministry you will definately like this one but you must really be a fan of both bands on this one to get the full effect of this album .thats why i only give it 4 stars because there are very few fans of both bands together.which is a shame!!!!!

filth Pig is Great.......2001-11-23

The editor has no taste. Filth Pig is Ministrys best album. Its slow, but it has such a great sound and great songwriting. I even prefer it over Psalm 69. But now for Pure Chewing Satisfaction. Its Lard, yes. But its not The Last Temptation of Reid. There are no songs as "Fork Boy" or "Can god fill teeth". Just a few godd songs, most of them so la la (for lard), but good compared to other industrial bands and albums.

Jello Biafra makes a real dent in the music industry!.......2001-06-07

Wow. With such an unsavory approach at "industrial," Mr. Jourgenson and friends have teamed up with ex-Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. Dropping the faux-political-satirist persona, Jello takes on a more lighthearted appeal with his words. No cussing throughout the record, a good thing indeed. With Dead Kennedys the cussing was used as a tool of shockrock, in my opinion, it degraded the musical prowess altogether. The only group in recent times to pull of the use of the F-word and not come off as completely juvenile are TOOL, who manage to somehow cross the void of immaturity into the theatre of emotion with their words.
