First, my many thanks for all of those who took interest and participated in my Psalm 69 book survey.
Second, my apologies for taking so long to share the final results.
Truth is, nothing really too surprising in the results. But, for me, it was important to tap into the current state of Ministry fandom- and to see if how I remember things may or may not be reflected in Ministry’s greater fan base.
What this survey represents is simply a snapshot in time (September 2014) of some Ministry fans opinions on the band and album. It is not the grand summary of “what Ministry fans think,” rather, just 67 fans from this board. For my purposes, that’s perfectly fine. Again, I just needed to test the waters.
Most “discovered” Ministry in the 90’s and most of the results skew towards 90’s fandom. The Luxa/Pan era is the overwhelming favorite era of the band. “Just One Fix,” “N.W.O.,” and “Scarecrow,” are the top 3 favorite album tracks, with “hit single” “Jesus Built My Hotrod” scoring in the bottom half of the album. “Just One Fix” was the favored music video. The cover for The Mind album, surprising to me, was the favorite among respondents.
I was not surprised that most people would like a book on LORH. I agree, I’m just not the person to do so.
Here are the totals:
