All Music Guide - Gina Boldman
Dark Side of the Spoon is Ministry's attempt to return to its techno and industrial roots missing from their previous effort, Filth Pig, as well as its penchant for dark humor, on tracks like "Vex and Siolence," "Nursing Home," "Whip and Chain" and "Bad Blood."

    you don't get it, do you?

    Most people don't understand this album and would say that Ministry is losing their edge. I totally disagree. I'd say that this is the band's most creative effort yet. This album takes many different musical styles and gives them an industrial feel like only Ministry could. In fact, some songs nearly mimic other bands while still being completely ministry... some examples: the guitar on ''bad blood'' might as well be a metallica riff. Listen to it, the distortion is the same as the entire ''Ride the Lightning'' album, and the complete lack of bass guitar further gives the metallica-like air. Another example is ''Vex and Siolence,'' which has the same background as White Zombie's ''Blood Milk and Sky.'' Also, ''Whip and Chain'' sounds vaguely familiar to Godsmack. I dunno, listen to the album again. Also, the woman in ''Step'' (who is actually Al) repeatedly says ''I don't know who I am no more,'' which may be the whole key to the album. Ministry might be saying, in jest of course, that in this commercial world where a band must pander to its audience they have lost themselves and are devoid of an identity, thus the fragmented style. I think it's great. Then again, I might be wrong about all of this, in which case the album is just weird. Regardless, ''Nursing Home'' and ''Kaif'' are the best songs on the album. Granted, this album is not as powerful as Ministry's previous work, but still a great CD.
