Ministry's followup to The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste makes use of the same aggressive approach but sinks to a darker and fiercer level. Chokehold opener "N.W.O." uses tape loops of then-President Bush calling for a "New World Order," which Ministry delivers by infusing their industrial savvy with machine-gunned, thrash metal guitars, relentless beats, and vocals that run the gamut from deranged auctioneer of the damned ("Jesus Built My Hotrod") to terrifying screams ("Just One Fix"). Fast and furious, Psalm 69 is an acidic taste of Ministry at their most focused and diabolical. — Erin Amar

- Best Mnistry album
- When this record came out it established a new sound, the heaviest thing ever heard at the time! It was a very intense experience, nowadays psalm 69 remains Ministry's best effort so far. Among the best Industrial metal records of all time. More reviews
- Sucks eggs
- Midway through the opening cut, "N.W.O.," with Bush Sr. rapping at the mic, there's a moment where all the steroid-chugging axe grinding and scream-at-the-top-of-your-lungs-like-you're-a-frantic-ghoul vocals fade and the listener is left with a myopic dance beat. And that's when well-versed listeners will remember that Ministry started out (shudder at "Twitch") and was condemned to remain a sissy… More reviews
- This album owns!!!!
- Great thrash album, Al has done it again, great songs awesome riffs and great lyrics all the way threw. More reviews
- It's thrash, Jim, but not as we know it.
- Making a basic Slayer-style speed metal album wouldn't have sufficed for Uncle Al. He wanted to create something far uglier. Something industrialised. Something which would kick grunge off the radio and into the same mass grave as glam rock. That something was Psalm 69, a seethingly furious blast of distorted vocals, disturbing samples, inhumanly fast drumming… More reviews
- Ministry-Psalm 69
- If you are a fan of industrial metal and you don't own this CD, you need to get it right now. I personally rank this behind "Land of Rape and Honey" and before "Mind..." in terms of favorites. If you have heard anything from Ministry's last 2 CD's, I can pretty much guarantee that you'll love this CD.
