Peter Hook & Ministry Rantology (Translucent Red)

A bruising antiestablishment spokes thing that hammered away at George W. Bush's America lyric by lyric, song by song. Al Jourgensen stays on message with 2005's Rantology. Using a mishmash of remixed classics, live material, and one new song, "Great Satan". Jourgensen has created a shrill blast of aural protest art. Since he retooled Ministry as a culture war battering ram, it's been Jourgensen's angriest words and beats that resonate most. The three live selections from 2002's Sphinctour are sufficiently loud and more than a little creepy. World changers, bad livers, and progressive punks rejoice: Ministry's pissed-off stamina hasn't abated.
