Ministry - Lava

[@proletariatbourgeoisie9929]

Blows my mind that a LOT of Ministry "fans" hated this album simply because it didn't sound exactly like Psalm 69. Sounds pretty killer to me.

[@evelyn201]

Agree 100%! This album rocks PERIOD

[@thomasfleischer83]

Can understand it. I 've also been shocked but I've learned to love it with the help of time. Reload, Lava and Dead guy are killers!

[@OmegaRedFan]

I let a friend borrow this album. He lost it. I pushed him on the ground and made him beg for mercy. It was great.

[@OmegaRedFan]

@@thomasfleischer83 I had this album then Scott faulkner decided to eat shit.

[@CF-cm2ye]

It's the good stuff. Alright partner

[@pinsonraphael4873]

One of the most infectious riffs ever written, period.

[@johnymartin5411]

......OH YEAH

[@kendragrider1412]

I agree

[@JamesDunnComposer]

Check out "Double Dare" by Bauhaus. I'm not claiming that Ministry copied them, but there's an influence to be heard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYOpi35rbamLnLc

[@paulie5076]

Agreed 🤘

[@Jehu104]

I never tire of it.

[@n0validusername]

I love how much the harmonica is used throughout this album

[@mirarstudios]

Yea I love the southern blues touch that has found its way into numerous tracks.

[@soph-7404]

This album is heavily underrated

[@gcgangsta8556]

True. I never understood why. It’s got 5 awesome songs. Heavy, loud and immersive.

[@midianpoet]

YESSSSSSSSSSS, from 1996 to 2023, still this LAVA flowing and scorching everything, GREAT !

[@Psiberzerker]

So hard, and heavy. One of the best tracks from one of their best albums. Highly underrated.

[@doggomagus]

Been listening to this album since college, its one of my favourites. There's a kind of minimalist genius to it I reckon. This song in particular is is so savory. Its like a big, doughy thick-crust cheese pizza. You nom it for 6 and a half minutes until its all gone, and although there isn't much variance in it, there doesn't need to be. Its just solid, tasty, and soooo good.

[@sinnergy73]

Chicago pizza

[@TheSabado215]

This song hits you like a train.

[@m4inline]

The train that goes from Havana to Oslo!

[@neilmclaughlin2347]

Do you like this riff? You’re gonna be listening to it for the next six and a half minutes. Fortunately, I love it.

[@davidwallin5734]

Just like John Stanier in Helmet, Rey Washam was able to add some rhythmic displacement with the drum beat, turning an otherwise repetitive riff into something mesmerizing. "Vaccination" on Helmet's Betty does something similar with the drums: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaGzlJSZnq2MZ5I

I got this album for 1 penny from BMG back when it came out. Best penny I ever spent!!!

[@kingjamessavage8609]

I also got so many from bmg... Signed my mom up. Sister. Brother. Every friend I had. Loved that 💩..

[@XelrisMZ]

Found it in a bargain bin for like two bucks, didn't know who they were. Case looked like it had been through a war, but the CD was good. My life changed accordingly.

[@joekraft5913]

I've been given another reason to live, this riff is addicting

[@Gr13fKvlt]

This album was a gift to folks like me who love Melvins, Eyehategod, Acid Bath, Iron Monkey etc. I love every Ministry album but this one has a special place for me.

[@aviolentreaction9344]

Yassss Acid Bath!

[@aymericdalmas6912]

Their best album to me

[@sinnergy73]

This album was a departure for me. I was used to their earlier stuff. I now rank this one one of my top five from Ministry.

[@sinnergy73]

Acid Bath is the best band of the 90's hands down.

[@pentexsucks43]

Sounds like Godflesh

[@VinMetal666]

This song has DAT BASS, raw shit

[@blazej6667]

My favorite album of all times

[@robbiesharp311]

[@fivermoontarot]

This album helped get me through my teen years y'know now my kid likes it too I was just thinking about this song so yeah Good stuff

[@mike-st6vf]

If I had to list my top ten albums this album would def. Be on it. I bought this the day it came out at Tower Records and that night, by a one in a million coincidence I ate some mushrooms for the first time ( there wasn't much of anything that I hadn't tried by then, but shrooms were one of them) that night, I opened the CD, laughed when I saw the big mushroom, pressed play, and by the middle of this song, everyone was like "what the hell is that shit?!? It sucks!! Except me and my best friend at the time, we were staring at the stereo (yeah, back then there were these gigantic things called stereos)

[@Ruffnek310]

My cousin showed me this album when I was 12 it took me years until I was 32 and high on cocaine to understand its essence.

[@robbiesharp311]

[@davezito888]

I’ve ventured into this album during trips and shrooms years ago myself. 🥳👅 🍄

[@mike-st6vf]

Haha yeah, I've seen interviews with Al and he says they were so deep into the heroin he doesn't remember any of the studio time and recording except for tossing everything paul barker and the drummer wrote, called them the book club Lmao! But I think there are some albums that on some cosmic level that we don't understand have to materialize. Another being Megadeth's Rust in Peace, there are youtube videos where Dave is interviewed and he can't explain how most of that album came into being, it just flowed out.

[@lewisphillips1114]

This has actually got to be 1 of the best songs of heard. Ministry need a lot more credit!

[@Gebrilas]

This song helped me drown out the pain of a tooth ache on several occasions, and that’s serious. Literally took my mind off the pain. Didn’t try hard either. I just focused on the meaning of this song and a tooth ache doesn’t feel so bad. Look at me, my whole body aches, just from being alive.
