Free Music Notes for Rabies
Free Music Review: el cd menos bueno de Skinny Puppy, en mi opinión:
Hit: 4 Stars
Si habéis escuchado otros cds de este grupo, en mi opinión el mejor, y el más importante grupo de música electrónica junto con Front 242 desde Kraftwerk, sabréis cuál es su estilo: electrónica muy oscura, ain apenas concesiones al baile, letras casi incomprensibles y estructuras muy experimentales: sin estribillos, con versos muy largos, voz muy teatral, normalmente distorsionada...Este disco no es una excepción: sin embargo, intentaron acercarse a Ministry y no les salió tan bien como, por ejemplo en su cd anterior (VIVISEctVI) o el posterior (TOO DARK PARK).
Los samples característicos no son tan interesantes como en otros discos, la guitarra, elemento en absoluto ajeno a Skinny Puppy, está peor introducida, en mi opinión, que en Too Dark Park, por ejemplo, y algunas canciones son anodinas y casi para rellenar (Rain, Choralone...)
Sin embargo, conriene una de las mejores canciones de este grupo, 'Worlock', al mismo nivel que otras joyas como 'Testure', 'Killing Game' o 'Tormentor'.
Hay otros temas también buenos, 'Rodent', 'Hexononx' o 'Tin Omen', pero en general el disco carece de los espeluznantes pasajes oscuros de otros discos, y están menos inspirados.
En todo caso, es un buen disco, y si os gusta la banda, compradlo, merece la pena. Sólo que si estáis buscando un disco para empezar a conocer al grupo, yo recomendaría 'Too Dark Park' y 'ViVIsectVI', y después pasar al magnífico pero difícil 'Last Rights' y al atípico pero buenísimo 'The Process'.

Rabies tends towards the less chaotic of the SP releases, and it does so with a lot of influence of Al Jourgensen of Ministry.
The Rabies sessions were rumoured to be some of the most disfunctional of the SP recording sessions, with Al, Ogre, and cevin fighting it out over who got the final say in various mixes - check out the "alternative" remix of Tin Omen on CD single (if you can find it) that Al had nothing to do with for a slower, darker, more grinding version of the LP version. In the end, Al shaped a more precise, cleaner, clearer sound from the band than the previous or later releases which veered off into bursts of distortion and noise (VIVIsect VI, Too Dark Park, Last Rites) than Rabies. Because of the obvious dancehall influences (Rodent, Worlock) and the programming precision throughout the album, it's a lot more accessible (I was going to type "mainstream," but that just seems wrong for a SP review...) than any of their later releases except possibly The Process, which was never truly finished.
Me? I qualify VIVIsect VI or Too Dark Park as the seminal SP albums, but my tastes run towards sonic train wrecks. The Puppy albums that completely shocked me upon first listen and took some getting used to and deciphering were always my favorites. Those looking for more traditional death disco or aggro-electronica sounds will probably prefer Rabies.
Free Music Review: Amazing

I got into Skinny Puppy because of my boyfriend. I know that it tends to be total dude music. However, being female I love the raw edge that their earlier music has. The newer the music the more I dislike it (I'm not saying I hate it!) I really love this CD, I bought it for my boyfriend for his birthday (it has been difficult to find this CD on something other than iTunes, and we both like the actual CDs of bands we're really into).
He has yet to open his present; however, I know that when he does he is going to love it.
But beware!!! Some of the CDs on Amazon have been known to be censored, like the Tomb Raider Soundtrack (reason for buying is Deep - NIN, another awesome song) and the Buzz (Sublime is awesome). So just keep it in mind when buying CDs through Amazon.

I'm not a Skinny Puppy fanatic, but of the albums I've heard, "Rabies" is my favorite. Alot has been made of the production from Al Jourgenson, but the influence is subtle, and this is no Ministry. Most of this is excellent, but favorites are "Rodent", "Worlock", "Rivers", and of course "Tin Omen". Anybody new to the band would be best off with this album, "Too Dark Park", or obviously "The Singles Collection". This is simply an essential album from one of the essential industrial bands, and "Rabies" will have you foaming at the mouth.Free Music Review: Dear bonehead web programmers at Amazon

This Cd is listed as coming out in 2001.
The first review was written in 2000 (so it's not about this particular pressing) but the review talks about a specific pressing, saying it sounds much better.
This happens a lot, people write a positive (or negative) review about a specific release of a cd or movie (remastered version much better, directors cut horrible, etc) so their rating and review isn't just for the cd/movie, it's about the specific release they were reviewing.
The best example I can think of is the move "The Warriors Ultimate Directors Cut". People trashed that version, giving it one star, though they liked the original version. But you've added those negative reviews to the original version as well.
