The Greater Wrong of the Right has to be the most diverse album that I have heard in a long time.

Takes Some Getting Used To, But When You Do...

TheAccuser

Admittedly I was disappointed with this one--at first. But I came back to it later and listened again. And again. And again. It hooked me completely, to the point that now I wonder why I couldn't see its genius the first time. No, it's not 'dark and scary'. It's beautiful, honest, and sad. Not sad in a defeated way--more like painful-but-necessary reflection before a weary-but-determined renewal. In a way, it could ALMOST be considered pop music--it's catchy enough. But still too weird, in the best possible way.

A very different direction for the group (I guess I should say duo), but you've got to give them credit for trying something new. They succeed in my opinion. Too many bands tread water. SP are forging ahead.

Not Great but..

...it'll do. It does beat most of what passes for industrial these days, but isn't a patch on Last Rights or even as good as The Process (however uneven an album that was). For the first time Puppy sound obvious, so I'd download this last of all.

A great follow up to The Process.

Six Degrees of Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral

By Aaron Burgess, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

At one point it looked like it would never happen, but Nivek Ogre and cEvin Key made nice and put Skinny Puppy back together again. The first thing to know about Greater Wrong of the Right is that it’s their last album, The Process, done right. Not an innovative album, not a visceral album, but there are bits of the old Pup here — more scary-movie samples than The Process had, and a lot more of the stuttering beats of yore. Ogre is still singing rather than barking, while Key has just exploded when it comes to expansive production. Key’s given Ogre a lush and dark world to deliver his serviceable lyrics over, but it’s not always menacing and that’s where old fans might cry “sellout.” With freaky vocal manipulation “Ghostman” recalls the band’s earlier work for the better, while Ogre’s passé chant of “New World Order” on “Neuwerld” recalls it for the worse. Too bad they’re done making Matrix movies, because the driven and melodic “I’mmortal” would have fit on the soundtrack and the memorable “EmpTe” is just as poppy. Odd to think that Skinny Puppy now sound more inspired when playing it straight — or at least as straight as a band that wears pancake makeup and stage blood to its photo shoots can be — but the album really comes alive when Ogre croons. “Use Less” — with thunderous drumming from Tool’s Danny Carey — is Ogre’s great moment and the best evidence he can keep up with Key’s evolution. Get ready for the hardcore fan backlash, but Greater Wrong of the Right at least makes up for The Process, and with stunning structure from Key, it beats most of the current industrial music competition. – David Jeffries
