Dark Side Of The Spoon
''Dark Side of the Spoon'' is the seventh studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on June 8, 1999 by Warner Bros. Records. " Bad Blood" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2000. Background ''Dark Side of the Spoon'' features less aggressive songs than Ministry's previous albums, and frontman Al Jourgensen had intended it to be the case. He wanted to branch out from the "drug-infused" records of '' The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste'' and ''Psalm 69'' to more "unfamiliar territory". In his autobiography, Jourgensen confirmed that the title has two meanings: one of which is a play on words referencing Pink Floyd's ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' and the other is the blackened (or dark side) of a spoon heated to dissolve heroin, as several members of the band suffered from long-term addiction to said substance at the time. The saxophone part of the song "10/10" is taken from the last 22 seconds of "Group Dancers" on the Cha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sputnikmusic
Sputnikmusic is an American music community website offering music criticism and music news alongside features commonly associated with wiki-style websites. The format of the website is unusual in that it includes both professional and amateur content, distinguishing it from professionally written music websites such as ''Pitchfork'' and ''Tiny Mix Tapes'', as well as collecting and presenting a wiki-style metadata database in a manner comparable to Rate Your Music and Discogs. Over time, the site came to be established as a credible source; it is now among the sources that Metacritic uses to compile "Critic Scores" and is used as a news source by other websites. As a general rule, the staff writers tended to focus on new releases; however, any user was welcome to submit a review of any album that has been officially released. All genres of music were covered by the site, with dedicated subsections for metal, punk, indie, rock, hip hop, and pop; an 'Other' section also caters ...
