meat.your.maker is the debut studio album by Hate Dept., released in October 1994 by 21st Circuitry.
Keyboard praised meat.your.maker for being "raw and accessible" and the band for experimenting with their arrangements. Aiding & Abetting gave it a mixed review, saying "there is much more texture underlying everything than the current trend-setters have" but "as aggressive industrial goes, this is pretty wimpy musically' and that "the beats often sound like they came off a Casio sampler, and the guitars are never allowed to really dominate." Factsheet Five said "although Hate Dept. uses some rather trite subject matter for industrial songs (e.g. child pornography, sex aversion, samples from Blade Runner), they do their thing so well that I just don't care."
