Stabbing Westward's second album sees the band incorporating a more noticeably 'rock' sound into their oeuvre than their debut. This shift helps the band define their own identity seperate from their obvious main influences. The songwriting has improved a little overall and grown somewhat tighter. Thematically, this is somewhat in keeping with the debut, however, they branch out into general depression and incestuous rape on some songs (smiley faces, everyone!). Whether grooving or brooding, this is a consistently enjoyable release (if you can deal with the dark themes).

Released in 1996, Stabbing Westward?s second studio album Wither Blister Burn & Peel is a punchy, alt/industrial hybrid record that helped the band break into the mainstream. Propelled by massive mainstream singles like "What Do I Have to Do?" and "Shame", the record balances aggressive electronic beats, heavy guitar crunch, and front man Christopher Hall?s raw, angsty emotional vulnerability. Despite its solid opening and overall cohesiveness, this was not for my taste.
