What's all the fuss about?
Mar 9 2006
Format:Audio CD
Musicians, as artists and people, grow and change over the course of time; what this album is IS that change, without us getting to see the band change. Sort of...ten years of evolution did occur, and it is easy to referrence. Just go check out Download, ohGr, Ritalin, and cevin's various projects during that time. Each one of those not only hinted to what a reformed SP would sound like, but also contributed its own flavor to the new album. Thus, if you've been keeping track of things, the new album isn't much of a surprise. Other reviewers are shouting "betrayal" and "sell out" - that occurred with their million-dollar contract for The Process. Even then, though, SP was so deviant they couldn't break themselves down into the mainstream mould.
The Greater Wrong shows the band continuing with their old approach: heavy beats, layered electronics, innovations in vocal manipulations. What has changed is the reliance on guitar, way less use of dialog samples and sound samples (both of which are now, 20 years later, waaaay mainstream), and there's less "angst" in the vocals. So, it's a new sound for them...but every single album had a new sound in the old days! That's what we, as fans, appreciate about SP: they refuse to reduce themselves to a formulatic sound, an immitation of past successes. They're bold enough to keep branching out. Is this album commercially accessable? Well, the first two tracks are, and that can color the way you perceive the rest of the album (note: commercial in this case is not a bad thing). However, several of the songs here wouldn't have been out of place on Last Rights even.
Another consideration is all the guest performances. While it keeps things fresh, it also dilutes the artistic focus a bit. In some ways The Greater Wrong of The Right is a safe product, but I think we'll see more experimentation in future (???) releases from the band. My favorite album of theirs is still Too Dark Park, but this one is great too.
very skinny

well i guess it's cool to say i have been a puppy fan since the mid eighties,but really i was a fan of interesting and innovative music since the eighties and skinny puppy was one of the best so i can truly say i grew up on them, when the "process" came out i actually liked it,so my point is there was never a puppy album i did not love. now on to this album, well at first listen i was shocked, it seemed so awfull i didn't want to believe it was skinny puppy at all, after a few listens i kinda could see were they were going with this, in a nut shell this is a tug of war between ogre solo and cevin cey solo with a bunch of pointless (dear god!)so very pointless guitar parts. it is not and can never be a true skinny puppy album as dwayne and rave are not on it, so really i would recommend ogre's solo material if you like the hip hoppy beats and vocal delivery or cevin cey's solo material if you like the electronics and finally kmfdm if you like the guitar parts. having said all this, this is not the worst album ever but to thier other work this is very weak and comparred to electronic music coming out these days it's almost laughable i never though i'd write that about a skinny puppy record but there it is, skip this and buy anything from "download" "plataou" "ogre" or "cevin cey" all can be found at subconcious records. dwayne is indeed deeply missed.
Good but...

A good album, solid and with a new, different sound. I'm a fan of Skinny Puppy since the 80's and I was more than happy to see a brand new studio album coming out after all this time. Of course, as other reviewers have already written, this album is nowhere as good as Puppy's old classics (VivisectVI or Too Dark Park) but still, not as bad as others said. Maybe a little too much like Nivek Ogre solo project, more accessible and even radio friendly for some tracks. As I said before, a good album for Puppy but not the return album I'd wish for. If you are new to Skinny Puppy, try their older albums... Way better and far more experimental (and even brutal).

Ever evolving
Skinny Puppy returns from a nearly ten year hiatus, unleashing a visceral assault of the senses. Never allowing themselves to be easily defined or catagorized, GWOTR continues in... Read more

I find that to enjoy this album I have to listen to it while not paying attention to it. It is best listened to as a background filler. Read more

What??? SP's gone trance?
I was quite disappointed with this album. I have been a huge fan since 1984 but wasn't necessarily hoping for the same Puppy sound that we've all come to know and love, but this is... Read more

Another anti-pop album, just like Remission.
Skinny Puppy have admitted that this is a different album. It was written differently. It was collaborative and co-operative. They weren't strung out on heroin. Read more

good as what it is- but not really Puppy.
Just because the 'age of industrial' has 'come to a close' doesn't mean that fans of the earlier Puppy releases have to like it. Read more

Pure freaky brilliant genius. One of their best! If you're a Skinny Puppy fan, you won't be disappointed.

Much more beat heavy than their previous albums, but not so much as to drown out their intracite designs. Read more
