I remember an article describing Skinny Puppy as technology abuse. I still can't help but think that most of the shit played on radio stations is a much better fit for that description.

[@sizeoverload5254]

,Cool, when was this awhen this article?

[@blackfyre365]

👏😆😃👍Welll put, my friend!

[@astralmass]

I ended up squeaking by on a project, in highschool, about Skinny Puppy. It was a sorta-pre college thing, but the assignment was to put a full mini-thesis on. Cite your sources, have visual aids, etc. This is in a small bush town in 1997-98? I was listening to The Process on a loop at that point, and was pretty deep into snorting Ritalyns... So I somehow ended up with Vivisect VI and submitted a rough draft about why Skinny Puppy is important.

[@Krystof.Kajanek]

Technology abuse :)

[@MrHammerman97]

Would anyone believe me if i said my High school Science teacher told me about this band? (He did)

[@polter999]

MrHammerman97 Some of my College professors liked DCD...so I know you're telling the truth.

[@SweetSweetWaldo]

MrHammerman97 I'm old enough to be your science teacher, believe me...and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Puppy to anybody young or old!

You cannot experience the true ambiance of Draining Faces til you listen to it at 2 am in the morning walking somewhere dark and tree lined.

This is the album that got me into the goth/industrial world. This album gave me the most loudest, powerful ,brutal and much needed head whacking ever. It's still a all time classic.

[@scubasteve3056]

i used to chill in my room to this album with a strobe light. just me, skinny puppy, and a strobe light. lawl adolescence was a bitch.

[@elcoyotefeo385]

me too, smoking a lot of pot and contemplating things. or if i was lucky enough to have a girlfriend over, that was cool too.

I need an Industrial Bar that only plays Skinny Puppy, NIN and Ministry. Not German.

[@attackreload2178]

Benur Radio Not German as in not singing in German? Because fucking KMFDM is the shit man.

[@corinelliott3596]

This album got me hooked on Puppy I had the cassette played it over and over. The lyrics are brilliant, the grooves are sinister, the sounds exotic

[@jonashamilton7191]

One of the best albums ever. Period.

[@nopenopeington9926]

i can never get sick of this album.

[@danabaker3271]

A life that cannot be......these guys are the best band ever. there is not a and who can come close to skinny puppy......ever

[@rob8482]

This gives me such a warm feeling, it's like petting a kitten, or enjoying a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup.

[@respekted]

Every second, every corner of this dark, brooding album is perfect, magnificent gem. If it was produced TODAY it would sound cutting edge and epic. There will never be a time like this for electronic music and no other band will come close to this richness and power.

[@danabaker3271]

I have been a fan since the very begining.....they are the best.....you cannot come close to them

[@starvingbuddha7622]

It really does make everything else (NIN) seem so amateurish

[@dclem005]

I agree..Skinny Puppy doesn't just create great music, it is about being able to see an entirely different paradigm of the world around you that you never even knew before.

[@grahamburns6661]

No doubts:an industrial masterpiece.

[@iliadavidovich5192]

Tear Or Beat is the best Puppy song in my opinion. The whole album is awesome. Excellent lead-up to VIVIsectVI.

[@digitalzomby]

I love this album, one of my all time favorites. Bought this on vinyl when it was originally released. I bought all SP albums when they first came out.

[@opticnoise1]

This came out when I was 5, still my first sp album when I was 14, timeless.

[@initsownjuices8034]

You Were One Cool Kid - I first heard it when I was 18 - It’s been one of my biggest influences for over 35 Years

[@ValekHalfHeart]

Draining faces is a horror masterpiece... along with Fritter from VIVIsectVI two of the scariest songs I've ever heard.

[@999lazio]

ValekHalfHeart I agree Draining faces still creeps me out even after all this time so freaky

[@UCNXonline]

That's me with "Fritter (Stella's Home)". That track just straight up unnerves me, every time. That and that goddamn howl in "The Second Opinion".

[@scaryeyeball]

might very well be my favorite puppy album. a soundtrack for a nonexistent film, about your most sweaty, delirious fever dream... on acid.

[@benfrombelow]

I never knew Cobra Commander had a band

[@christopherwalker6056]

You didn't know that?? Yeah he's been the lead singer for 20 years. At some of his shows he features live torture sessions featuring the Baroness and Scarlet.

[@mwells219]

Yah I saw them when they toured with Thrill Kill Kult. Crazy shit.

[@matthewhurt2608]

Christopher Walker longer than 20 years. Kevin and Nivek started the band in 82. I met them at an after party during the Too Dark Park tour in 91. I still think their Ain't it Dead Yet tour was their best ever. I don't go to shows anymore so I don't know if the hang out with people after the shows anymore or not. I it used to be very normal to meet and be at parties with guys from these types of bands. Bill from Front Line Assembly was one of the most chilled out of all guys I had met.

[@ave423]

@@matthewhurt2608 They are all about the fans! Ogre is one of the sweetest and most accommodating performers and humans you are ever likely to meet. cEvin is truly awesome, as well. Been following them since 85. If you are not aware, Ogre also has his own solo project: ohGr as well contributing to many other projects (Ministry, KMFDM, Pigface, etc...) and is also acting, a real movie star now, check out Repo: A Genetic Opera (among others) and cEvin is all over the place. Bananasloth (DJ), Download, Platue, Hilt, Doubting Thomas and owner of Subconscious Communications. They are both prolific as hell and always working on something.

[@mattcchinn]

My 2nd favorite album by Skinny Puppy..amazing soundtrack fortitude..... my fave is still Too Dark Park..of which I think they reached their pinnacle..but lost their master after.....Gottell.

[@peloqin]

Matt Chinn Dwayne Goettel is Jesus.

[@MorgEllon-ye9pi]

Too Dark Park is such a unique album, for such a unique band. That was the first one I heard, and also remains my favorite.

[@literalgoblin6183]

I have been suicidal and borderline homocidal for a time now, constantly wrapped in my own head. stressed and nihilistic. at this moment, I'm sitting alone in my room on my recliner, touching myself with the strobe light on and this album playing in my headphones, and for the first time in a long time I feel normal, and like shit isn't that serious, and that I'll be okay. damn life is strange.

[@dclem005]

I remember back in 1999 when I was a programmer working at a company called Computer Science Corporation (CSC) on a project involving fixing COBOL code for the year 2000 issue, through out the day I would listen to various music CDs in order to deal with the mind numbing drudgery that came with dealing with a corporate environment that is exactly like the issues described in Scott Adams's Dilbert cartoon. I think the CDs I most listen to where the ones made by Skinny Puppy since they were the best at taking my mind off a lot the mindless BS that I had to put up with at the time and allow me to focus I just trying to get as many important things done in any given day. To me (and I believe to many others like me) the band members of Skinny Puppy are heroes much like priest are to people that follow Abrahamic religions.

[@drakefuller]

Can't mess with SP.... Hands down threw music to it's knees...

naja, der der sec supervisor macht es immer noch. Das ist echt mal cool nach Jahren. Danke Skinny Puppy, - Ich mag Euch wirklich. - Danke!!

[@logike77]

I grew up on this. 45 now. A childhood favorite. Anger, Epilogue, and other SP works do well in haunted houses. VIVI has some similar tracks. Great band. Ogre and Skinny Puppy have some happy works as well. The band's attitude spans more emotion than the groveling and haunting anger. I am such a purist about SP that NIN never really moved me. This is the heart of ALL that later angst in tech. Btw, my brother in law just recently hung out with Ogre a couple weeks ago. He sent me a photo. Small world.

Bought this the day it was released, like most of my Skinny Puppy vinyl. Wasn't my fave comparatively speaking at first but, over time it has become on of my favorite albums. Just got it signed at the ohGr show in Seattle last Friday.

[@ave423]

Oh yeah, I was a diehard fan from Church In Hell and Bites and Remission in 84-85.... Mind in 86... It was such a departure from the earlier work in that you were more clearly able to make out the lyrics, had a more produced feel to it. It was an evolutionary experience. Took some time to grow on me. But, boy did it. Everything about it is amazing!

[@initsownjuices8034]

Yeah because their first four, Especially Bites, Mind, and Cleanse are their Masterpieces
