Warthur
Psalm 69 is the second Ministry album, after The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste, to place a heavy focus on Al Jourgensen's favourite hobby: saying mean things about people called "George Bush". Just as later albums would express Jourgensen's apparently inexhaustible reserves of anger directed against George W. Bush, so too does this album take aim at Bush I, though it also incorporates enough references to occult texts, occult sex, and sexy cars to make this a bit more varied than the Dubya-baiting albums of the band's later career.

It's a good listen, though it's a little too much like a rerun of The Mind Is... for my liking - if you've heard the preceding album, you already know precisely what this album sounds like, and if you haven't I'd recommend it over this one any day of the week.

I´ve never heard of anyone who prefered "The Mind Is..." over this one, but interesting to hear someone who doesn´t praise Psalm 69 as one of the seminal albums in industrial metal (which I think it is).
