Skinny Puppy: aka Trent's bad uncles
Uncle Tom says: 'Always tell your mummy you're crossing the road.'
'The Greater Wrong Of The Right'
'A quite stunning, complex little beast; electro-industrial rather than industrial rock, more Frontline Assembly than Ministry, with the most gorgeous production - about 20 or so different levels of samples and effects shifting and slithering about all over each other like metallic ants, more layers and depths and hidden trapdoors and sudden looming abysses than 'Kid A' meets 'The Downward Spiral'.
Equally sensational are the vocals and lyrics, sort of stream-of-unconsciousness Burroughsian cut-ups and snarky little rants which paint pictures which...you can't quite describe. You sure realise the pictures are of baaaaaad things, though.
Best of all, it seems to eschew the now-cliched rage and angst that permeates much industrial, and seems much more cunning, whimsical, subversive, even playful. And the first three songs are possibly the greatest opening trio on any album ever.'
