The Power of Lard is the debut EP by Lard, released in 1989.
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "Biafra contributes a voice, label and sense of humor. That gets matched up to pounding, semi-industrialized rock by Ministry guitarist Al Jourgensen, bassist Paul Barker and drummer Jeff Ward. A casual and exciting bit of supergrouping, The Power of Lard (a three-song 12-inch) demonstrates the fun potential in this seemingly unlikely alliance." Jerry Smith, reviewer of British music newspaper Music Week, was disappointed by this result of collaboration of different musicians. He wrote "Sadly, it is all rather predictable".
Use in Welcome to Hell
The track "The Power of Lard" was used as the introduction song in the popular skateboarding video "Toy Machine - Welcome to Hell (1996)". This video became culturally significant in skateboarding and caused a resurgence in popularity for the EP.
