i listened to "Rabies" again a couple of times recently. i feel it is unfairly maligned, as is Al's production.

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.

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

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.

"Harsh Stone White" might be my third or fourth favorite track of theirs, all-time.
is that a drill on the track?

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.

to you i say, what about early puppy!!!

i listened to remission and bites today

i love early puppy but judging by ilm puppy chat it seems that period is perhaps not overly appreciated / known here.

smothered hope, assimilate, dead lines, the centre bullet and far too frail would all be contenders in my top 10.

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.

Remission sounds fantastic, haven't listened to it in like 30 years probably.

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.

kind of cinematic too

"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.
