Jesus Christ. Why there needs to be a Saw 2 is beyond me…and also, there’s a band called “bloodsimple”? I’m going to assume they’re some crappy neo…something…named after one of my favorite movies? MOTHERFUCKERS! I shall smite them where they stand for such arrogance! Blah! I can’t even speak now! ARGH!!!
Oh, and Revco FEATURING Al? What in the fuck is that about? When has Revco been anything but his band? The lead singer may change (as this new album will prove), but who’s always there? Al, of course! Fuck this unnessecary sequal bullshit! I won’t be there. Motherfuckers.
Alright, maybe I went a little crazy there. Saul Williams kicks ass, and that Pusicfer song from the Underworld soundtrack was pretty good…but anything called the 4:20 mix has to suck ass. Once upon a time I did respect Sevendust, though it’s been a damn long time… and I have to love “Rodent” by Skinny Puppy since Al was involved… even if it is a shitty mix…
and Charlie Clouser deserves a listen. And that’s it. I can’t defend this album any further.
I thought the rodent mix from Wild Planet was awesome. Took the song beyond what it was and made it better than anything Metropolis has put out in the way of dance/club oriented music. Look at it this way, no Fear Factory songs, could be worse. Although the Sevendust and Papa Roach does make me grit my teeth. I thought these guys were left in the dust back in 2000?
Rodent is probably my second-favorite track off of Rabies, behind Worlock. Good album opener, too, although best all-time Skinny Puppy album opener would have to be Dogshit on ViviSect VI. Something about Ogre shrieking “LOW TAR SPELL!” with that song cranked sends chills up my spine. “Crystal marble powder shot glass overflow - dreams amaze me, time escapes me, mere shade what should be bloody not taking…” Goddammit, I love Skinny Puppy.
