1.0 out of 5 stars 1/4th Star should be a rating option, April 28, 2004

This is what happens when you get a bunch of wanna be Industrial musicians together and ask them to cover songs of Industrial Gods.
Granted some of the artists on here are the real deal such as Mark Spybey, but then you got a bunch of Euro dance dorks such as Spahn Ranch, Electric Hellfire Club, and the like who don't even deserve to have a stab at a project such as this.
What the heck happen, did Britney Spears' manager get the rights to Skinny Puppy intellectual property and decide it would be a good idea to collect the worst Industrial Spin off bands together and make a Skinny Puppy tribute album?!?!?
Actually a Britney Spears or NSYNC version might actually be an improvement.

Buy this USED, only if it is a must have for your collection. The Dead Voices On Air and the Download Track are worth the $1.60 at least.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not Skinny Puppy, July 24, 2005

Ok, we all know this CD is not Skinny Puppy and as the CD says, "We will never see their like again." This CD is more like pop versions of their songs.

You do have to admit the Front Line Assembly remake of Dead of Winter is good, just for the fact FLA has Bill Leeb (one of SP's founders) and then the Download remake of Download has cEVIN Key (another member of SP).

So you really cannot dis the whole CD. It is a must own for collectors, just for the fact that members of Skinny Puppy are on the CD.

When I was listening, I first thought, oh my, is Dwayne Goettel rolling in his grave? But we will never know, they may actually like the CD - they changed the world of industrial music and who knows what they would be doing now! (I'm sure it wouldn't be the stuff thats on this CD though.)

If you have never heard the original tracks, make sure you buy Skinny Puppy CDs to hear the true sound of Skinny Puppy - it is still something that you have never heard - even in todays music.

"The thing with Skinny Puppy was, it was very 'f*ck off' music, 'you're not going to like this, so f*ck off.'" - Martin Atkins

2.0 out of 5 stars Just not the same, February 23, 1999

No one will ever capture the sound that Skinny Puppy produced over so many great years. This album proves this. It may have the same words but certainly not the same feel. The only song that closely resembles the anger captured by Puppy in the origional recordings, is the track produced by Leatherstrip. Yet, even this falls far short of expectations. This album is only too pay tribute to the true masters.
