Details: The harrowing sonic abuse meted out by Animositisomina confirms that crippling drug addiction, waning commercial fortunes, and the onset of middle age have enabled 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 unmitigated guiterrorism 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 brutalizes 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
