Last rights b/c it raped my speakers like nothing i had ever heard to that point

Rabies isn't underappreciated at all; if you want an underappreciated SP album, look at The Greater Right of the Wrong

Also lolteenager - i wrote and got a reply from alternative press after goettel died b/c rollingstone gave him more ink then them.

sorry!

Always meant to get into this band, this poll should help nudge me a bit. I liked Last Rights when I heard it in high school but that's about the extent of my knowledge, so I'm not gonna ruin the poll by voting for the only one I've heard.

Ohhhh my gosh I had no idea these guys had so many albums.

xp: Last Rights is good, though!
really, the only albums of theirs I really have issues with are VIVIsectVI and The Process
― Monkeys? Um, no. (HI DERE), Monday, 27 September 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it's weird that VIVIsectVI (hate that title too) gets big upped so much; bites is much more direct and forceful and last rights has the most intricate production; VIVIsectVI kinda splits the difference unsatisfactorily. although "harsh stone white" is fucking awesome. also yes the track "download" on last rights samples a skipping cd but doesn't sound anything like oval, at all
― teflon dawn (uptown churl), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 02:54 (thirteen years ago) link
def. my favorite band that all my friends hate
Vivisect VI for VX Gas Attack and Who's Laughing Now? alone, though most of their discs include favorites of mine...though, in my book, no full SK disc is as satisfyingly crunchy as this one. VIVIVI all the way, man.
Testure was a bit weak, but in retrospect it makes for a good breather from the heady murk of the rest, eh?
― (I Just) Died In Your Asshat Tonight, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 02:39 (thirteen years ago) link
VIVIsectVI without a second thought. Bites is a close second.
― Sean Carruthers, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 03:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Bites never clicked with me; dunno why. Really liked Remission a lot (esp. the expanded/reissued one), but Bites...?
CF+M was my first Puppy album, and I liked it/was scared by it.
This is making me want to revisit the catalogue and REASSESS.

Toughie, but I'm going with VIVIsectVI.

― Spencer Chow, Monday, 4 January 2021 21:26 (three years ago) link
I thought I might have voted Mind... but must have been VIVIsectVI.
― stirmonster, Monday, 4 January 2021 22:37 (three years ago) link
mind is somehow also the best album

yah all my favorites except too dark park mentioned in this revive
― brimstead, Tuesday, 5 January 2021 00:31 (three years ago) link
Too Dark is my fav.
"Tormentor" would play everywhere i walked if I could program the music to come out of my pores

i revisited Cleanse Fold and Manipulate as a result of this poll revive. "First Aid", "Deep Down Trauma Hands" and "Addiction" are still up there in my SP greatest hits selection.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 14 January 2021 02:46 (three years ago) link
been too long since I played some Skuppy. think tonight will be the night I go back to some of the 80s stuff I hadn't perused as much.
think "Tormentor" will always be my favorite tune though\.
― Slowzy LOLtidore (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 17:19 (one year ago) link
i listened to "Rabies" again a couple of times recently. i feel it is unfairly maligned, as is Al's production.
― stirmonster, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 18:11 (one year ago) link
Too Dark Park for me.
Also have to plug for Hilt - offshoot band that I like more than the Puppy in many ways. Primary LPs are Call the Ambulance Before I Hurt Myself and Journey to the Center of the Bowl. Awful titles and artwork, utterly transcendent music.
― Psychocandy Apple Grey (Pyschocandles), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link
playing Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse atm
― Slowzy LOLtidore (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 19:54 (one year ago) link
now listening to the latest one, Weapon. not sure if I will get used to this vocal style, but this is the first thing post Last Rights I've heard so maybe he sounded like this on all of the 21st century albums
― Slowzy LOLtidore (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 22 June 2022 02:45 (one year ago) link
One of those bands I've been split over and really need to be in the mood for. I played the hell out of Last Rights but have a hard time returning to it. Too Dark Park sounds very good this morning, it has this eerie cinematographic sense of apocalyptic, radioactive calm. I like the shameless pop rearing its ugly head behind the layers too.
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 22 June 2022 06:14 (one year ago) link
"Harsh Stone White" might be my third or fourth favorite track of theirs, all-time.
is that a drill on the track?
― Doop Snogg (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 22 June 2022 19:57 (one year ago) link
it's up there. we need a full skinny puppy tracks poll, which i reckon would be heavily split between late period and mid period SP.
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 22 June 2022 23:11 (one year ago) link
to you i say, what about early puppy!!!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 22 June 2022 23:27 (one year ago) link
i listened to remission and bites today
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 22 June 2022 23:28 (one year ago) link
i love early puppy but judging by ilm puppy chat it seems that period is perhaps not overly appreciated / known here.
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 22 June 2022 23:36 (one year ago) link
smothered hope, assimilate, dead lines, the centre bullet and far too frail would all be contenders in my top 10.
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 22 June 2022 23:39 (one year ago) link
I didn't like Bites at first (re: 15 years ago) cos I was used to more 90s SP as that's what I started with but Bites sounded very nice yesterday.
― Doop Snogg (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 June 2022 00:17 (one year ago) link

Remission sounds fantastic, haven't listened to it in like 30 years probably.
― Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Thursday, 23 June 2022 01:02 (one year ago) link
listening to Last Rights for teh first time in about 15 years, lord this sucker is dense. "Inquisition" is a demonic nightmare.
the samples are so well layered in. lot of melodic bits too.
― Doop Snogg (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 June 2022 03:29 (one year ago) link
kind of cinematic too
― Doop Snogg (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 June 2022 03:37 (one year ago) link
"Riverz End" is like an industrial/EBM "O Fortuna"
― Doop Snogg (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 June 2022 03:40 (one year ago) link
that was the first SP album I got.. otm re it’s cinematic qualities, for some reason I got aquatic scifi The Abyss-esque vibes from it.
