Reviews by JePh (gReN) and Joe

Here is a whole bunch of albums that we have heard and reviewed. We are rating the CDs on a scale from 1 to 100. 1 being poor, 50 decent, 100 great.
SKINNY PUPPY: Remission- old and cheesy. Deformed as always. Tracks include Smothered Hope, Glass Houses, Ice Breaker and Film. Score=45
Bites-Bites and Remission are very alike. Same old, cheesy, deformed, early 80s beginnings of industrial.Score=30
Mind; The Perpetual Intercourse-Skinny Puppy has gone insane. This album includes early versions of Addiction and Deep Down Trauma Hounds. And a newer version of Love. Features Antagonism, Stairs and Flowers, and One Time One Place.Score=77
Cleanse Fold and Manipulate-Never NEVER listen to This one on Acid.Songs like First Aid and The Mourn are garenteed to fuck you up for the rest of your life.Score=91
STABBING WESTWARD
Ungod-Repetitive and whiny but an all around good album.Score=50
Wither Blister Burn and Peel- Great SW album. By far their finest hour. Score=70
Darkest Days- Most definately a dark day when I spent around 17$ on this piece of crap. This album contains about 3 good, tolerable songs. They have taken whiny to a new low. Third Eye Blind would be proud.
DOWNLOAD
Furnace- What happens after the legacy of skinny puppy? Well besides compilations of live music, remixes, demos and long lost songs found on Brap, 12 inch anthology or Ain't it dead yet it means cEvin Key working with D.R. Goettel, Mark Spybey, Philth, and occasionally Genisis P. Orridge on Download. Offering newer sounds, different kinds of electronic music and plenty of unorganized songs. Furnace is a great CD. Viva Download. Score=78
Microscopic- This EP contains remixes of Atalall (where did you think Joe got his strange screen name?) , Mothersonne and Noh Mans Land. More voices by Genisis P. Orridge who screems on the title track. Also includes 12 minute deformity Energy PlanScore=76
Eyes Of Stanley Pain- Radio friendly ? No. But it's the closest they get. More faster songs like Outafter, Killfly, possession and Seven Plagues. Download is constantly changing. Score= 85
MTV'S AMP COMPILATIONS
Mtv's best show has given birth to 2 comp. mixes. the first was a good album containing tracks such as Josh Wink's Are You There, The Crystal Methods Busy Child and FSOL's We Have Explosive. The only drawback is that the songs have been edited and shortened because they are the video versions. Score 59
The second mix is not much better. As I type I'm listening to it and I'm not surprised that Mtv has slipped a few Rap like songs in.They had to fuck with amp did'nt they. And the Rap like songs mentioned have been cencored. NOT ONE CURSE. And you know how rap is. But the songs I recommend are Fatboy Slim's The Rockerfeller Skank, Pitchshifter's Genious (Luke Vibert Mix) and Propellerhead's Bang On.Score=50
THE TEAR GARDEN
Sheila Liked The Rodeo- I have recently perchased this album and was very pleased. It sounds like a mix of Download and Pink Floyd. It has cEvin Key and D.R. Goettel in it. Tracks include Blobbo, Sheila Liked The Rodeo and Sybil The Spider Consumes Himself (and more). Including an eerie song made up of screams and moans. Score=70
GRAVITY KILLS
Gravity Kills- Acceptable album. Whiny and gayish at times but an exellent industrial album. Includes Guilty, Blame, Here, and Enough. Score=69
**Perversion**- not that great. The only Gravity Kills Merchandise I have purchased (because I got other things as gifts) and I wasn't very pleased. Some of the songs are great like Falling, One and Belief (to rust). But others have alot of high pitched, annoying vocals. I still think they are cool live though. Gren thinks otherwise. Score=44
FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY
Reclamation- Very very worth every penny. Comp. album includes remixes of The Blade and No Limit. Also Includes Toxic, Millenium (my fav.) and Iceolate. For Skinny Puppy fans it includes a shocking revelation that I won't spoil for you. Score=85
Flavor of the Weak- Good. Very good indeed. Much different than the earlier stuff. Includes faster, funkier drumbeats on Corruption, Evil Playground and Columbian Necktie. Score= 79
