Skinny Puppy - The Process

This album is an embarassment to both the band and fans. Skinny Puppy should have called it quits after Last Rights! That would have saved thier image and left a legacy behind them. It was a huge mistake for them to get back together after Last Rights. Everything after that is garbage! Ballads?? Guitars?? Sounds like a fucking metal band. :( Worst let down ever.. As far as I'm concerned, they ended in 92.

I dislike the most reviews...after several months of listening this, this gave me an insatisfaction and depressing sensation. Maybe is not musicaly crushing and impacting like others albums, but it's simple, sounds good and this have an real intention from the members. I like every Skinny Puppy album because every album has it originally sound (not like NIN) and one day this crushed my heart. Don't listen it once...search deeper ;).

Like dj_medusa, I hated this album back when it came out and while my tastes have grown tremendously since then, it still makes me cringe whenever I hear it. I can find tracks that I like, but even those only make the grade in light of how awful the rest of it is. Whatever factors played into the creation of this album, a new approach is not synonymous with quality, nor is it an excuse for putting out garbage.

It's not one of my favorites and I hated it when it originally was released. Part of that probably stemming from being young and thinking that my favorite band had sold out to what was then a major label. I've recently started to give the album a second chance, so I'm still digesting it today. Now with a more mature ear and outlook on music, I can find tracks that I like. It's still not a good solid Puppy album in my book, though. It sounds like too much rock was starting to bleed into their sound at that stage of their career. Signs of what was to come with the reunion of Key and Ogilvie in 2004? But then again, I'm the rare fan that's not too thrilled with The Greater Wrong of the Right either. Call me picky.

I believe that Blue Serge, Morter, and Amnesia are the best tracks. On first listen, Candle is captivating, but it seems to me too much like a Moby outing, where the grunge rock itch sets in and the artist straps on a guitar, trying to relive Jimi Hendrix or Ozzy Ozbourne. I used to like The Process, but through repeated listening, it gets old. Jahya is of the same nature.

The Process is the most disliked and most underrated album out of the entire Skinny Puppy discography. Lots of conflict and controversy surround the recording and release of this record. The album, shrouded in mystery, serves as a nice post-script to what was then thought of as the end of one of the greatest bands in the history of electronic music.

i disagree. i think this album is brilliant and deserves several years of listening to fully grasp the anger, frustration and despair that went into this recording. these guys didn't want to do this album and didn't want to release it. and it shows - these tracks surge from high intensity audio barrages to sentimental and soft, never letting go of your ears or your brain. hardset head, blue serge, cult and candle are all amazing pieces of work that defy any genre specification - a trademark of the puppy boys. a very sad yet powerful listening experience.

This album is what happens when a band takes allot of money
from a big shitty Label and is forced to put out complete garbage. If you have never heard puppy>>. Stop at "Last Rights".
