4.0 excellentAlabaster Jones | August 12th 15

I don't think I've ever heard a record that devolves as good as this one. That's not to say that this devolution is a vice to this record, as that is what makes it so fascinating. From the opener, "One Time One Place", to "Three Blind Mice", the record acts as an electronically inclined industrial record complete with shrill and chilling vocals. But from "Love" until the closer, "Burnt With Water", the album seemingly falls in on itself as the established structure completely unravels and things get quite unnerving. The industrial sound surges to the forefront and the vocals turn to demented yells and hyperventilating. Samples can range from speeches to screams of terror, and by the end of the record you're left shocked at how quickly and sharply the album changes direction. In the end, it's a pretty interesting listen, and when you peel back some of the layers of weirdness, there's some great musicianship to be found as well.

Industrial comes in many different shapes and sizes, sounds and aesthetics. Although this album isn't consistently cited as Skinny Puppy's best album, I believe that it by far is. It perfectly balances their dark, harsh atmosphere and a slightly accessible sound. Anyone needing a gateway into purer industrial music, look no further.

Some of the longer tracks could've been shortened or at least use those industrial loops w/ some more instrumental/soundboard creativity. Then again, this was an album before NIN's Downward Spiral or Marilyn Manson's first album.
