The Greater Wrong of the Right

Product Description
The anxiety and long wait are over at last: Skinny Puppy have kept their promise, returning with vengeance 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 down the path that Skinny Puppy had embarked with1996’s 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 the ten new tracks, their complexity and divergence develop little by little, in typical Skinny Puppy style: Demanding up-tempo tracks like I’mmortal or Pro-test with its brilliant 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: with the support of a new generation of musicians, like Tool’s Danny Carey (acoustic drum 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 albums of the year - and another milestone in the history of an 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.

The Greater Wrong Of The Right proves that Skinny Puppy remain one of the most innovative new electro act of this or any decade!

Some pretty sweet brap........2007-05-27

I've been a SP fan since the first time I heard "Worlock," which, admittedly, was late in the game for many SP fans. However, after "Rabies" I went out and bought "Back & Forth v. II" and started delving into SP's history. Some of you may not realize that one of SP's original goals was to create dance music that had meaning, that actually said something. SP called their style of music "brap," and although I have no idea what they meant by that, I notice that they didn't label themselves as Industrial, Metal, Punk, Goth, etc. They were creating a new genre: dance music with a hard edge. And that's what we have here - some amazing modern dance music with SP edge. Sure, the edge isn't quite as hard as it was prior to "The Process," but I must admit, I didn't find much to dance to after the first 3 SP albums - so for me, it's good to see them get back to their roots, so to speak. Long live brap!

Nice industrial/techno.......2007-03-26

I'm a huge fan of NIN, and when I learned that Skinny Puppy was one of the bands which inspired them, I had to try them out. This is a great cd, especially if you have nice head phones (I use sennheiser HD280's). Nice mix of highs and lows. Try it out!

I had never heard of Skinny Puppy. A friend of mine asked me to check it out. I am sure glad that I did. The Greater Wrong of the Right is the first Skinny Puppy CD and I just love it! There are no dull points on this CD. I highly recommend!

Linkin Puppy.......2006-12-27

Yeah, I bet that hurts to those who might be fans (as am I, sigh), those two words, but they adequately describe the sound of Greater Wrong. It has some nice points (the last song wins in my book for best use of a Hindi movie sample; every other application of such sound had always come off as annoying as hell, no offense to Bolloywood fans (that and industrial, hmm...)), but overall, it feels like a big flop. I'm not ragingly advocating SP to keep up their old school sound, but in wake of new technology available these days, you'd hope they'd expand upon it. No, we just get some, as one reviewer put it, politically laced nu-metal. Check out older Puppy, please.

And enough of the song title puns, gah.

Not for those stuck in 1990........2006-11-22

Yep, you read right. If you're expecting/hoping for Skinny Puppy to repeat the days of "Too Dark Park" and "Remission," avoid this album at all costs. People who like hearing something new or fresh: Totally buy this. It's a wonderful album from front to back. Even though they made an entire political album, it was nice to hear, and after hearing the song they did from Underworld, I could hear a band ready to return with some creativity.

If you want it to be as bizarre as the past, you're at a loss, too. But if you compare it to the stuff on the radio, you are simply over-reacting. Not even this is close to what the mainstream would/will embrace, but it's catchy and all of the songs were well-written. Some of the songs kind of remind me of the modern EBM. It is not a vain attempt to remain relevant, as it is completely natural with Skinny Puppy. "I'mmortal" is an amazing opener, and many of the others are also pretty good. They show that they don't have to be completely devoid of song structures to be interesting, and for those who laugh at this band, they might find themselves slowly suckering into the group after this.

I mean, if you're not just one of those "old day" fans, there is so much that this album has in it. I can't judge if it's the best album they've made, but it is as good as you can hope for.
