Just when all hope seemed gone, the infamous Nivek Ogre and cEvin Key finally got back together to make some more music magic. Unfortunately, this album really split the fanbase. Some people were able to dig it (lol pun), whereas others were saddened by the new direction SP had taken. The sound here is very little like, say, Too Dark Park or Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. The electronic beats here are a lot crisper and clean than older Puppy. In fact, some songs, such as "I'mmortal" and "Pro-Test" seem to have a little pop in them. That's not to say that this isn't the SP we all know in love. Not at all. It still has the classic sound to it, it's just... different. I really like this album. I can't really compare it to Too Dark Park, for it is very different. It's apples and oranges, ya know? But seriously, this is a good album, as can only be delivered by Skinny Puppy.
NOTE: Sorry for not delivering the goods in so long, life gets busy sometimes. But I will try to upload again in the next 2 days so that we can get on a more regular schedule. Sorry folks :^(

Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
In the metal genre, we hear a lot of bands that sound the same. That is not so with Gojira. Gojira does not compromise heaviness for it's creativity, however. The guitars are heavy, the vocals are harsh (but not in that generic cookie monster way. It's more of a harsh yell then a growl), and the drums utilize the infamous double bass. But damn, these guys can shred. And their lyrical content isn't your average slog of death and anti-Christian overtones. Songs like Global Warming and Flying Whales show a slightly more different approach to lyrics than many other metal bands. And the song Backbone... Damn, man. Good shit. To be short, Gojira injects the much needed creativity into the metal genre, and sacrifices nothing for it. A must have album for metal fans.
ALSO: I am sorry about the YT link in the Slaves On Dope album. It has been remedied with the actual Mediafire link. Please enjoy :>
