Editorial Review:
For the first time in the life of the band, Sevendust (TVT Records) have had time to write and create their songs at home, not in between tour dates as they have in the past. With this new, found freedom, the band wrote 13 mind blowing, beautifully-crafted hard rock classics.
Description of Animosity:
Those expecting a collection of full-on metal songs on the latest Sevendust album will get only half of what they want. While the band has always had a more melodic, less rap-metal approach than their peers, tracks on Animosity are far more accessible than typical nu metal. Some songs, with their contradictory mixes, do sound disjointed and confusing, but "Crucified," "Damaged," and "Dead Set" are just a few examples where it all fits together nicely.
Elsewhere, tracks fall into power-ballad waters, but thankfully they are not cheesy. "Xmas Day" and the midtempo "Follow"--featuring assists by Aaron Lewis of Staind--feature dark but emotional melodies that are carried beautifully by Lajon Witherspoon's soulful vocals. The album closes on a spiritual note with "Angel's Son," Sevendust's heartfelt tribute to late Snot singer Lynn Strait, which is fleshed out by a string section. --Gail Flug
Animosity Reviews:
"Animosity" is not a travesty 
2009-05-14 - I'm loving every minute of this. Every song on this album is pure gold. From "Tits on a Boar" to "Angel's Son," every one of them never borders on boredom. "Praise," one of Sevendust's biggest singles, deserves to be heard. "Crucified," "Shine," and "Damaged" are all close to perfect. "Xmas Day," one of the softest songs on the album, is particulary striking with its lyrics; the poetic music mixes in perfectly with the words. "Follow" features Aaron Lewis from the band Staind: him and Lajon make a great duo. "Live Again," "Beautiful," and "Redefine" can be best described as majestic. The closer, "Angel's Son," is a song dedicated to Lynn Strait, the lead singer for Snot who died in a car accident on December 11, 1998.
You can't go wrong with Sevendust's Animosity. It's one of the greatest hard rock albums that I've ever listened to.
Animosity Is A Sheer Winner!
2008-08-21 - For starters, no question this is Sevendust's best effort to date of all their albums. I absolutely loved every single song on this record, even though I've love anything these guys create musically, lol. Opening with a great sound called "Tits On A Boar", and follwoing that with their smash hit "Praise", probably my all time favorite song played by these guys, you just know this album is gonna be a treat. I literally still to this day can't get enough of this CD, and still listen to it all the time.
Best Album Ever
2008-04-01 - This is not only Sevendust's best album, but my favorite album ever. Sevendust is known for their hard rockin' and melodic songs. This CD blends them together so perfectly, only God could create a better mix.
It's not something I can convince you in a review, just listen to it and you'll get hooked more and more each time. From the harder Trust and Crucified, and Praise to the more relaxing Xmas Day and Angel's Son, this is perfect.
their best cd
2008-02-22 - coming from a big sevendust fan i would have to say this is their best cd and i own them all. if you like sevendust cause of their melody than this cd is great for you and if you like them for their hard stuff then this cd is also good cause they have a few heavy tracks here aswell. any fan of melodic hard rock should pick this cd up its worth it. my favorite songs on here are shine damaged crucified and live again.
