Essential. May 9, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is apparently out of print, but if you see a copy of this anywhere don't hesitate to pick it up. Jim Thirlwell sweeps the entire range of the perverse on this one, from gleefully Satanic surf-rock songs to haunting, tortured pieces about the Holocaust. One of the essential industrial-related releases of the 80's.
#1 Indie album of 1984 March 20, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
1984, time to reminisce. All of the newspapers are commenting on how Orwell's vision didn't come to pass, while Reagan & Thatcher are hatching their little wars. Alternative goes mainstream, Eurythmics write the soundtrack for 1984, Art of Noise duet with Max Headroom, and FGTH's video for Two Tribes gets banned from MTV in the daytime. So where's alternative headed? Either the folk/60's inspired rock in the US (REM, Let's Active...) or towards more experimental synth/goth/industrial hybrids in the EU/UK (Sisters of Mercy, Einsturzende Neubauten,...). So Ministry & J. Thirwell go against the grain in the US & (initially) get more attention overseas than in the US. I was quite interested in this one because it sat on top of the NME's indie album chart for the longest time (I got most of my indie music info from the NME reviews & charts) & although I had never heard it, concluded it must be good (if it could stay there longer than the usual 1 week norm), needless to say the band name helped. So when it finally got a domestic release, I gave up the cash despite the fact that I hadn't heard a note. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Although I wasn't a big fan of Big Black (except for the early singles), I found this combination of industrial, rock, synths & dramatic (dare I say operatic) vocals to be quite compelling. More musical and literate than most punk that preceded it, yet no chance of it ever becoming the soundtrack for a cola ad. Listening to it again, more than 20 years later, it holds up pretty well. Still quite catchy. Too bad that the bonus EP isn't included as extra tracks though.
 Retro-Retro 80's September 30, 1999

It is said that the U.S Senate is the most and selective powerful club in the world. Right up to Half Man-Half Biscuit's "The Bastard son of Dean Brinkman",knowing the words to "Satan's Place" marks you in a crowd more utterly secretive and as dangerously subvertive as anything the Senate could imagine. This is a MUST BUY for all those who remember Gibby Haynes before he sold out.

From the brilliance of his Batman themed 'Sick Man' (written about Nick Cave) to the mania of 'Water Torture' ('I'm condemned to eternal water torture'), this album is the one you need to pump you up for that night in Slimelight (gotta love that club). 15 years ago (!!!!) this had me jumping up and down and bouncing off walls and was my introduction to industrial/punk/rock with an anarchic edge. It sounds raw and a little unproduced (especially when compared to the orchestral sounds of Nail, his follow-up and just as brilliant album), but it is so full of life and energy and anger and mania and anarchy and noise it will change you and those friends broad-minded enough to listen to and love it. Get down on those waves to Satan's Place!
