   xtrmntr (pronounced "exterminator") is the sixth studio album by primal scream. in a departure from primal scream's earlier hedonistic recordings, the band took a more political stance, attacking government, police, and multinational corporations. the sound of the album is much more aggressive and forceful than the group's previous output, with harsh industrial sounds forming the basis for songs such as "insect royalty", "accelerator" and "swastika eyes". a free postcard championing the cause of the "free satpal ram campaign" and encouraging fans to participate was included with initial copies of the album's uk release. the album is also notable for being the final lp release on the influential british label creation records. the track "accelerator" was later lifted from the album to become the last single to be released on the label. although gary mounfield joined the band in 1997 and recorded a selection of tracks on the album vanishing point, it was the first time he shared songwriting credits with the band and his first full album since his time in the stone roses. ==reception== {{album ratings | mc = 90/100 | rev1 = allmusic | rev1score =  | rev2 = alternative press | rev2score =  | rev3 = entertainment weekly | rev3score = b+(5/19/00, p.74) | rev4 = nme | rev4score = (9/10){{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/primal-scream/1806 |title=nme review |publisher=nme.com |date=2005-09-12 |accessdate=20
