The long wait is over at last. Eight years after their last
complete work ( "The Process" released in 1996 ) Skinny
Puppy have kept their promise, returning with "The Greater
Wrong Of The Right" – a comeback that could hardly have
turned out more consistent or more convincing. "The Greater
Wrong Of The Right" is a breathtaking continuation of the
path that the band had embarked on with "The Process". The
experiments of the past few years have not been forgotten or
faded out : in their condensed, highly energetic form they
influence an album that impresses first and foremost with
its energy, power and stringency. Although all the elements
of the Skinny Puppy history have been integrated into these
ten new tracks, their complexity and divergence develop
little by little in typical Skinny Puppy style. Demanding
up-tempo tracks like "I’mmortal" and "Pro-test" with its
brilliant and mesmerising rap elements face spread-out,
intricate little masterpieces like "Ghostman", which
continue to put the band’s imitators in their place.
Still, "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" is an album that
fortunately lacks any kind of anachronism or supposed
nostalgic flair : enlisting as it does the support of a new
generation of musicians, like Tool’s Danny Carey (
acoustic drums on "Use Less" ) or Wayne Static of Static-X

( vocals on "Use Less") it is, with all its dark brilliance,
already one of the most outstanding and innovative albums of
the year – and another milestone in the history of this
exceptional band. There can be no doubt that Skinny Puppy
with their complex soundscapes ( which have influenced whole
generations of bands ) count among the spearheading
representatives of the so-called ‘electronic body music’
movement of the mid-Eighties. They were one of the
innovative new electro acts of that decade. If Front 242
were the genre’s continental heroes, Skinny Puppy could
possibly be contenders for industrial music icons on the
other side of the Atlantic.

I guess this is the 'real' thread then... since you split
the post up in this thread.

what do you mean "could possibly be"? Skinny Puppy are, and
always have been one of industrial music's premier icons...

point.

on the puppy tip, i just got an AWESOME 192kb quality rip of
the track "raw dog" by the short-lived raw dog project (ogre
& rave). the onyl other known raw dog track to exist is "ode
to groovy", which was credited as pup, but was in reality
only ogre & rave, from the same sessions.

ok gang, time for puppy trivia.
i ask the questions, and we try to get first correct
responses (lets see how long this game lasts :P)

question 1: "spiky... black... hard-edged" appears at the
beginning of the song "death". who is saying this?

i'd kill to see a download concert... that is pre-effector.

i thought there last was a little weak MORE Genesis/Charlies
family stuff. that nightmare stuff was what i loved about
them

the correct answer is martin atkins, who produced the early
sessions of the album. atkins can be heard as a drummer on
classic albums by PiL, killing joke, ministry, and pigface.

ok, the next question is an easy one:

in many skinny puppy albums, they thank a mysterious person
known only as "green guy". who is "the green guy"?
