Brap

If you're looking at this, you already know they're the cream of the crop. What can I say?

a classic, must have cd

great

This is a great little gift from SP to their fans. The CD has everything a fan could want: Great artwork, CD-ROM features (including a video of Spasmolytic), never-released material, and great live performances of classic SP songs (excluding the beginning of Tin Omen, which for some reason sounds like you're in a sewer). The older material that never saw the light of day (Jackhammer, Splasher, Double Cross) are not necessarily strong Puppy songs, but they are all great peeks into the inner workings of the band at their early stages. Since I love this kind of fodder, I was more than pleased with this release. If you're not a big Skinny Puppy fan, this is probably not for you. Instead, check out Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate, or perhaps Rabies. If you like what you hear, then please do continue to collect material from one of the more influential industrial/electro bands of our time.

what more could a puppy fan ask for? 2 disks of bliss and mulimedia to go along with it... this was the first skinny puppy album i got, and at first it shocked me and i wasnt sure about the band, but their true power and ominous sound infected me, and i was hooked... disk 3 is an amazing collection of early puppy instrumental pieces... some are just plain eerie like carry and splasher, guilty.. others are blasts of crunchy deformed beats like the soul that creates and dead doll.. but most of these songs will make u feel something awesome.. last call at the end is better than the version on bites cause of its more highlighted synths... truly amazing.. lots of great stuff to watch on the computer on both disks like clips from their videos, which were banned in canada, and live stuff.. disk 4 is mostly live... some of it is outtakes from other albums , mostly last rights and too dark park... but the versions differ enough to be worth it.. the spasmolytic track pounds much heavier than the real one...and tin omen rocks and smashes with an amazing chaos... tfwo is much better here, as is reclamation... great weird song all eyes is on this too.. some people may shy away from a double disk, but it is actually a great intro to the band, showing their old works and new works at once... a great cd.

if you have no idea what Skinny Puppy is......then for the love of Ogre!...be patient. The first few listens are probably going to be odd or somewhat painful. I usually stay away from things that have to grow on me.....but I was drawn into them somehow...probably curiosity. IF! you have some kind of an open mind with music...you will aquire the taste for Skinny Puppy....and all it's wonderful glory!.my favorite tracks include: Grave Wisdom, Tin Omen, TFWO, and Double Cross...all the tracks are awesome, And I would go so far as to say that this collection is a proper introduction to Skinny Puppy.

I was conflicted between buying this or bites(both are my favorites). I had listened to both and I felt bites has better songs, yet, I believe all together the multi-media stuff, amazing cover art, and wide range of songs made this a better buy. I got it used, in very good condition for $2.58. I truly love this album, it is amazing. To begin the cover style is very grim and it is by far their most interesting. My only issue with the case is that the cds may fall out. I see that the two flaps are designed to hold the cds down, but on some instances they may fall out. The songs are from various releases, and therefore, they all vary in sound. The songs on vol. 3 to me make a deeper impression though. The more ambient tracks such as Carry, Guilty, Jackhammer, and Splasher definitely stand out for me. Also Brap(song) from remission, Last Call, Dead Doll, and Deadlines from Bites are all superb. Vol.4 is very good too, however I prefer the older Skinny Puppy. Brap is a must have, it should be bought new, because the used copy I got had some case ware and this is classic that should be kept in good condition.

There is nothing wrong with this double-CD set. In fact I would have bought it if all that was on it was "Uranus Cancelled". The chance to hear pre-mixed synth lines from Knowhere is the best thing to happen to me as a fan of Last Rights! Proves SP does care about not only about it's fans, but more importantly, it's music!!!

Ok ❤️
