MINISTRY ANIMOSITISOMINA ALBUM MAYAN RELEASE: FEBRUARY 17, 2003 REVIEW: MARCH 3, 2003

I admit, I didn’t think Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker had it in them anymore. Long after industrial landmarks such as "The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste" and "Psalm 69", their glory days seemed to be over. I was wrong.
"Animositisomina" is one hell of an album, leaving the second generation of industrial rockers behind, biting the dust. Ministry is back, and in style. Not only have they made their hardest and most aggressive album in a decade. "Animositisomina" is also a wonder of craftsmanship in chords, samples and production. I am pretty sure Trent Reznor is weeping at the moment if he has been listening to "The Light Pours out of Me" or "Broken". These are songs I guess he would have wanted to create himself. The list of great tunes goes on and on. Two more I can't seem to get enough of are "Unsung" and " Animosity" - both sounding like Ministry of the late 80:s remade for the new millennium. Basically, it’s only the ending song "Leper" that doesn’t make the cut.
All in all, a truly great album, setting new standards for the genre. No collection of industrial music should be without it.
