Records]]. The title was allegedly derived from a statement made in the British [[Palace of Westminster|Houses of Parliament]], in which the band's leader Al Jourgensen was described as a filthy pig by MP [[Teddy Taylor]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Jenkins|first=Mark|url=http://www.sfweekly.com/content/printVersion/305133|title=Al Jourgensen on Filth Pig, Buck Owens, and cabin fever, Texas-style|date=1996-03-22|publisher=sfweekly.com}}</ref> Despite being the band's highest-charting album in the US, it was negatively received by reviewers,{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} sharply divided the band's fanbase, and was a commercial failure. This would be the last Ministry album to be recorded with [[Mike Scaccia]] on guitar until the 2004 release of ''[[Houses of the Molé]]''.
