Free Music Review: Better Choice For First Time Listeners
Hit: 5 Stars
It's come to my attention from a Wikipedia article about the lawyer, Jack Thompson(He's a lawyer who is trying to fight against the videogame industry and wants to censor violent videogames), that an Amazon reviewer gave his book a 5 star rating during what JT called a bookstorming and that review was removed (They filled up the book with negative tags, photoshopped pictures, and 1 star reviews). The positive review was by a user called BushSupporter who appears to be against Skinny Puppy as well as videogames. Anyway, if you're here because you hate Jack Thompson and are curious about the band this may be a good CD for you if you want to listen to a combination of metal and electronic music. Al Jourgensen's influence on this album provides a few songs with some great guitar work along with several electronic songs that have a great beat. What may turn you off is Ogre's vocal style which has changed in recent releases. He snarles like a psychotic beast with heavily distorted stream of consciousness vocals. The Greater Wrong of the Right and The Process are two other releases that may be more for you if the vocals don't sound good to you. At least give it a chance and see what you think.Free Music Review: This is my first Skinny Puppy Album...
Hit: 5 Stars
...and I have to say, it's unbelievably good.
There is not a single bad track on this album. I can't believe I've lived so long without hearing the brilliance of Skinny Puppy music. Although i have to say that this is not music for everyone. Only those who consider themselves fans of industrial music should buy this cd. If you don't consider yourself a fan of industrial music, then pay this album no mind, because if you do buy it, you'll write some ignorant bad review of it.
Standout Tracks to me were:
"Fascist Jock Itch" - This is easily the most energetic song on the album. You can feel the energy surging into you as you listen to it.
"Worlock" - This song is just f***ing good. There is no way around that fact. Pleasant, yet at the same time extremely emotional. It also has a very deep message in its cryptic lyrics. This song now stands among my favorite songs of all time.
Free Music Review: Someone got some Ministry in my Skinny Puppy.
Hit: 5 Stars
A very good (and underrated) Skinny Puppy album in its own right, RABIES is, admittedly, more of a brainchild built by the band and producer Al Jourgensen of Ministry. To Skinny Puppy's synth-laden disturbing collages, Al brings his snarling guitar and jackhammer drums ("Fascist Jock Itch") and provides us with an alternate version of what Skinny Puppy could be. True, the presence of things so mundane as power chords and unaccented rhythms makes this album stick out like a sore thumb in Skinny Puppy's catalog, but this is a good example of what happens when people experiment a little. Highlight tracks include "Worlock," "Hexononx" and "Tin Omen." Highly recommended for fans of more streamlined industrial metal looking for an introduction to Skinny Puppy.Free Music Review: fantastic album, better then Too Dark Park by far
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm more into metal then industrial but this album is a suprise and quite frankly I love it. Almost every song on this is full of strange atmospheres, movie samples and crazy almost stream of consciouness style singing. I have heard three Skinny Puppy Albums (Remisson, Too Dark Park and Rabies) and by far this is the best. as far as I 'm concerned this is just as relavant and amazing today as it probably was back in the late 80's when it first came out. Had I heard "Too Dark Park" first I probably never would have considered another Skinny Puppy album but luckily this album made a believer out of me.Free Music Review: My Favorite SP Cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD. It has a lot of variety Al added a nice touch. It has a heavier sound than other SP albums which is cool. This is my favorite but with Skinny Puppy you can't go wrong. Mind is great, Vivisect is awesome, TDP rocks, The Process rocks, Greater wrong of the right is great they all rock. Skinny Puppy has changed over the years but haven't we all?
