Ministry's ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ also known as Psalm 69 is an album that is likely in any industrial fan's collection. ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ, which is printed directly on the record, is Greek for "leader". Ministry has so many great albums I had a difficult time choosing which to talk about but this is one of their best in my opinion. "Jesus Built My Hotrod" which features The Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes on vocals is a classic & probably one of Ministry's most well-known. Another one of my favorites on this album is "TVII", I can never get enough of this song and I've been listening to this album for about 13 years. "Scarecrow" is another of my favorites, the long, drawn out vocals and guitars make this a dramatic song and the lyrics bring in darkness that connects: "Staring in the face of condemnation.... Laughter fills the sky instead of rain..... Scarecrow.....". The whole album is great, I really can't narrow it down. If I don't stop here I'll go through every song. My point is: This album is worth listening to from beginning to end many times over. Pick it up now and get started!
Scarecrow is my favorite song on here, hands down. My favorite Ministry album is still "A mind is a terrible thing to taste". It holds a special place in my heart as one of those albums that takes you back to a certain time and place when you listen to it. Both are fuckin great albums, though.
