Ministry: Al Jourgensen.

When it comes to a Ministry record, fans can always find comfort in a few unshakable maxims: There shall be whiplash-inducing industrial drum beats. There shall be crushingly loud and distorted guitars. And yes, there shall be lyrics dealing with death, hatred, violence, and general alienation and disgust with just about everything. Longtime Ministry admirers will be glad to know that all those qualities are firmly in place on ANIMOSITISOMINA, an album that finds Ministry not wavering an inch after 20 years of recording. Naturally, this formula doesn't allow for a lot of variety, but Al Jourgensen and crew are simply committed to delivering the most unwaveringly heavy and intense music this side of death metal. Not surprisingly, ANIMOSITISOMINA delivers just that in spades. Even the mass acceptance of groups as heavy as Mudvayne and Pantera did little to lessen Ministry's impact. This is hard, intense stuff that has, and hopefully always will have, the ability to instantly tick off parents and inspire undying devotion in disenfranchised teens everywhere.

Rolling Stone (3/6/03, p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The quintessential industrial-metal act returns to eat its young - and pay homage to its forefathers....A wonderfully bleak new beginning..."
