Description
Dark Side Of The Spoon is the seventh studio album by Industrial Metal band Ministry, released in 1999.
There are two theories behind the title (which occurs in the lyrics of the opening track), the first being a simple play on words, referencing Pink Floyd’s record The Dark Side Of The Moon. The second is a reference to the blackened or dark side of a spoon when heated to dissolve heroin, as the band suffered from addiction to said substance at the time. The album’s cover, which features a naked fat woman sitting in front of a blackboard with “I will be god” written numerous times gained controversy and was banned from Kmart, but the Music On Vinyl release has the original uncensored album cover.
The song “Bad Blood” was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2000. The Grammy went to a live version of Iron Man by a then-reunited Black Sabbath, so they lost from the best.
Dark Side Of The Spoon is available on 180 gram audiophile vinyl, and includes an insert.
