Also, check out another industrial/metal I discovered called Cyanotic. Not the greatest, but I find them enjoyable. http://www.myspace.com/cyanoticonline You're right, they are ok. It's cool that they covered a Chemlab song too. If you like them you should try to track down Argyle Park's "Misguided" album.

This is a great album even better than too dark park. this sounds like the most trippy puppy stuff ever and the most exciting to listen to when your stoned. i don't know if i have a favorite song on here but it's all pretty well done good review.

Willie,
I've heard Chemlab some years ago and I can't remember them too well. I will check them out too.
So I've given this album a few spins and while its good, it just hasn't clicked as much as Too Dark Park. Feels like a B-side album to Too Dark Park (which is still good too).

Only "Burnout Out the Hydrogen Bar" is any good by Chemlab. They got pretty
mediocre after that.
I think this album is just so convoluted and atonal that it's hard to get into in any
conventional way. I hated this for the first year I had it.This Message Edited On 08.19.08

It's not that it was hard to get into it, I just find myself drawing parallels between songs on here to Too Dark Park. Listen to the first song off each album and tell me there is no comparison.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there ;) The opening
song on Too Dark Park is noisy with Ogre ranting over it, whereas the opening song
on Last Rights has some actual melody and is a lot more subdued (especially the
beats).
Edit: but there's no doubt that the opening song on Last Rights could have fit fine on
Too Dark Park. I just wouldn't call the two opening songs similar.

To make things interesting I inserted the real "Left Hand Shake" (Which was banned off Last Rights) off their Intolerance album into this album on my itunes. Doesn't make the album any easier to listen to. But it makes it a bit more disturbing

That sounds like a good idea. I don't know why I didn't do that.

I've given this a few more listens since and I would now say that the album kind of feels like cuts that didn't make Too Dark Park. I'm not saying this album isn't fantastic, it's just a little disappointing compared to the monster that came before it.

Why was the song banned?

I think its just a completely different monster. A less entertaining one though.
Why was the song banned?
Well it has samples of Timothy Leary giving advice on avoiding a bad acid trip, and the group was unable to get clearance from the owner of the copyright in charge of the record. Who knows why that deems unacceptable, but they ban wierd things.

Why was the song banned? It wasn't really "banned", they just couldn't get clearance for the sample and since Oghr interacts with the sample they just left the track off.Clearance for a lengthy vocal sample from Timothy Leary's Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out (1967) was approved by Leary, but denied by the copyright holder. The song, in which a crazed Ogre responds to Leary's instructions for avoiding a "bad trip", was eventually released on the initial European edition of Brap (1996) and on a limited edition single called "Track 10" sold at the Skinny Puppy reunion concert in Dresden (2000).

Liked the review. Easily one of my favorite Skinny Puppy albums. Skinny Puppy really were the first industrial band I got into and since then made me love the genre. I haven't found much else besides Ogre and cEvin Key's side projects that I enjoy. Any suggestions for Industrial bands, preferably along with an album?

Acumen Nation - Territory Means the Universe
Acylum - The Enemy (ignoring tracks 2 and 3, which are terrible)
Chemlab - Burnout at the Hydrogen Bar
Life Cried - Banished Psalms
Numb - Wasted Sky
Project Pitchfork - Io
That's a good start for a fan of Skinny Puppy.
