Reviews & Discussion
The cd version of this album is extremely dissapointing. I have the original LP, and the original 9 songs work perfectly together. I bought the CD for the bonus tracks, and not only are all of them worthless, but the order of all the tracks are rearranged, ruing the original "continuity" and feeling of the LP. I don't know whether this is Skinny Puppy's fault or their label's fault, but the original album only had 9 songs for a reason. The 17 track re-release is a waste of money and time spent sifting through the garbage "interlude" like tracks to find the original ones that you really want to hear.
A record that is a HUGE influence on music today, and one the biggest musical influences on me growing up, probably as much as "Computer World," but in a different way.
Hard, evil electronic music? How could this be? With an sinister cover featuring skulls and corpses? And with vocals that sound like the devil? Were these guys serious? All I knew up to the point that I heard/saw this LP was electronic music like Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, and the like.
I still listen to this record, as well as Remission, regularly. Unfortunately, those 2 releases are head and shoulders above anything else Skinny Puppy put out later, although there were some good singles.
