Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The harrowing sonic abuse meted out by Animositisomina confirms that crippling drug addiction, waning commercial fortunes and the onset of middle age have continued to channel Ministry's screamer-songwriter Al Jourgensen's rage. Indeed, Jourgensen once explained the album's title thusly: "It's the word 'animosity' spelled forwards and backwards, minus the 'y'. It's double the hatred." This is good, for few can pierce the atmosphere with such brute force as Jourgensen and sidekick Paul Barker when they put their minds, guitars and Pro-Tools to it. Animositisomina bursts forth from the gate with "Animosity", a punishing diatribe against intolerance that welds mind-numbingly forceful shards of sound with unholy--and utterly disturbing--slashes of pure noise. "Broken" is delivered without remorse. Throughout, Animositisomina throws down a jet-black wall of sound unlike any Phil Spector could have imagined, with one exception: a scorching cover of the Buzzcocks classic, "The Light Pours Out of Me", which the group brutalises with way-fast percussion, but otherwise (and somewhat curiously) leaves intact. In a world gone mad, it's nice to know that some things--like Ministry's ability to tear up the floorboards with crushing efficiency--never change. --Kim Hughes

CD Description
'Animositisomina' is the tenth studio album from American duo Ministry. After the downtempo direction of 1999's 'The Dark Side Of The Spoon' Ministry revert back to the heavier faster sound the dominated 1992's 'Psalm 69'. The album is a mix of searing industrial metal and harsh techno, topped withAl Jourgensen's menacing vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fiery return, and a very, VERY welcome one, 5 Mar 2003
This is about as extreme as Messers. Jourgenson and Barker are ever likely to get. Song after song, riff after riff, the Godfathers of hardcore electronica ruthlessly smash the listener into submission. Animositisomina has its clever bits too, though. Obscure time signatures and off-beat riffola make this album their finest hour. Highlights include the sublime "Unsung" and the demolishing "Animosity". Its been a long time coming fellers, but welcome back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Psalm 69 but better than Dark Side Of the Spoon, 26 Feb 2003
Kerrang billed this as a "return to form". I think this is a little inaccurate and also unfair. Many Ministry fans were dissapointed with the 1996 release Filth Pig and the 1999 Dark Side Of The Spoon. Both albums were flawed because although they had the trade mark Jourgensen vocal and crashing guitar riffs, they were slower and much more rock/metal orientated rather than industrial.

Animositisomina is not a return to the original industrial sound of Land of Rape and Honey, Psalm 69 and Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste. Nor is it meant to be. What would be the point in putting out another industrial album that would probably owe more to those influenced by Ministry than the artists themselves. Whether its in the manifestation of Ministry, Lard or Rev Co. (to name a few of their other projects) Barker and Jourgensen have always focussed on innovation rather than repetition.

This is a good album. Animosity is a typical fast paced Ministry opener, Broken is reminiscent of Psalm 69 both in guitar riff and vocal style. Leper is a fantasic instrumental with plenty of middle eastern sounds, multiple overlaid guitar patterns and with a trademark Barker bassline. The Magazine cover The Light Pours Out Of Me is pretty good although approached in the same way as Lay Lady Lay from Filth Pig.

The only criticism I have is that the songs are not nearly as distictive as Ministry's classic material. There are no real surprises. There are no wierd samples from movies like there used to be.

However, this album is an onslaught on the ears from start to finish, and if you appreciate the Ministry sound then you'll probably like Animositisomina and find it an improvement on Dark Side Of The Spoon. Its not a classic and may take a few listens to really get into it but its stil worth having.

I'm giving it four out of five because at the end of the day, you have to totally respect Jourgensen and Barker for having such an amazing career and being such a huge influence on the industrial, metal and alternative rock scene.

Not a "return to form" as such but more proof that these guys still kick ass.

3.0 out of 5 stars They're still around, but....., 20 Feb 2003
Ministry deliver their eighth studio album, four years after the last one. It's a miracle they're still going, in fact - Al and Paul having gone though every layer of hell (some self-inflicted, some not) and still keeping the band together. And this album proves to be a pretty effective way of releasing some of the built-up stress.

Let's not mince words - it's a better album than either of the last two. It's more dynamic and less sludgy than 'Filth Pig', and more consistent and powerful that 'The Dark Side of the Spoon'. The grinding riffs, the pounding percussion loops and Al's hoarse vox are all present and correct, and in ample quantity.

But, and it's a big but, the album lack a 'Stigmata', a 'Burning Inside' or a 'Jesus Built My Hot Rod'. The album sorely needs a killer track to hold itself together, but it dosen't really seem to have one to offer. When the strongest track appears not as an original but a cover (The Light Pours Out Of Me) you start to wonder if the Ministry magic is still there. But they've got their show back on the road again, and for that alone we can be grateful.
