Reviews & Discussion
The font makes for a satisfying experience? Uh... ok man :P Too Dark Park is one of the best Puppy albums because it really caught them at the peak of their productions and performances. Unlike previous albums, this one really has a special sound quality, it's borderline mainstream in fact. They jump around from the bizarre and nonsensical to the structured and danceable better on this album than nearly any other (The Process comes close). SkP isn't exactly the most accesible band in the world, but if you appreciate dark music, do yourself a favor and get this one.
Grave Wisdom is a perfectly crafted track. Morpheus Laughing is interesting, and Tormentor is memorable because it is the first track. Convulsion and Nature's Revenge are also favorites. When one reads along to the music, the artwork and font provide for a sci-fi experience where gravity is the 4th dimension & grotesque creatures perpetually writhe in discomfort.
harsh and sometimes unlistenable in the wrong mood/state-of-mind, this classick SP release is something any industrial fan should have. haunting lyrics and unstructured sounds complete this little vomiting act on modern society.
