Review by Jim Lowe

Over The Shoulder Stigmata is an iconic album by the legendary industrial metal band, Ministry. Released in 1986, the album is a flawless masterpiece of the genre, showcasing the band's unique sound and style. The album features 10 tracks that are a perfect blend of industrial and metal music, with a heavy emphasis on electronic instrumentation and distorted guitars.

The album's title track, "Over The Shoulder," is one of the standout songs on the album, with its catchy chorus and pulsating beat. Other notable tracks include "My Possession," "We Believe," and "Where You At Now?," which all showcase the band's ability to create haunting and powerful industrial music.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and sound carefully crafted to create a truly immersive listening experience. The vocals of lead singer Al Jourgensen are also a highlight of the album, with his signature snarl and growl adding an extra layer of intensity to the already heavy music.
