I love how much the harmonica is used throughout this album

[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.

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.

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

[pinsonraphael]

One of the most infectious riffs ever written, period.

[Psiberzerker]

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

[neilmclaughlin]

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

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

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.

[joekraft]

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

[davidhouser]

Ministry is and always be one if the best bands in the world

[pinanti]

FILTH PIG is one of Ministry's best albums

[pinanti]

I feel stoned with this song, it's great with or without a bottle of whisky.

Hot lava, come down
Big monkey flow
Chokin' on a color
Floating down like a rain (oh yeah)
Hot lava
Cool down
Big travel, every town
Roll it over with a ball and a chain

Hot lava
On the always to ready to burn
What the hell is in your
Lost and your found
Got lotta those time
Some owner lost
He wants nothin' but the kick underground

(Be healed, be healed!)
Hot lava, lava
(Be healed!)

Big kicka mule
Dipped in hot cotton
Make water like candy
And a fever like mine
Big boiler
Make rotten gray matter
Not spoiled like the child
Who pops them two at a time


(Be healed! Be healed!)
Hot lava, lava
(Be healed! Be healed!)

Lava
Lava
Lava
Lava
Lava
Lava

(Be healed!)

(Be healed! Be healed!)
Hot lava, lava
(Be healed! Be healed!)

(Be healed!)
Hot lava
(Be healed!)
Hot lava
(Be healed!)
Hot lava
(Be healed!)

Hot lava
Hot lava
Hot lava
Hot lava...

These people really loved making music, they have so many albums and so many great songs they are now my favorite

[nelliesilvers]

Definitely one of their best albums alongside Psalm 69. 2023 and uncle Al's still going strong🤘🏻

[Mike-In-Florida]

If I ever had to go to into the battlefield, I want this to be the soundtrack.

[JamesJ]

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

[AnonymousHomonid]

Idc what anyone says, this album was a masterpiece from Ministry. Period

[delhidelirium]

This is still my favourite Ministy album, but by far ... one of the things which I loved the most about this album was the way it completely alienated all the ´Ding - a- dang my dinga ding long ` type of trendies and wimps which ´ Psalm 69 ` attracted !
