Gonna laugh if the song is just "That's the Way I Like It" again with Lucia instead of Sasha Grey.

I mean, it would be an improvement, but it would still suck.

http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/the-33-best-industrial-albums-of-all-time/?page=1

I was honestly surprised at some of the selections. I never for a minute expected to see Fook on this list. The unabashed fan boy in me would have preferred to see Too Dark Park higher, but it is what it is and I'm cool with what they pegged as Number One. Hint: It is neither a Nine Inch Nails NOR a Ministry LP.

its a bad list because instead of picking one definition of the word industrial they've tried to accommodate all of the different definitions simultaneously, so you have whitehouse and nurse with wound next to ebm and industrial rock stuff. death grips and clipping being on there is laughable and pharmakon is very good but that's not her best record and it's ridiculous to put her on there and not include any of the equally excellent power electronics/death industrial artists that influenced her, or any of the many contemporary artists working in those genres who are just as good. but what can you expect for pitchfork's genre tourist crap, i'm surprised they even included whitehouse and controlled bleeding to be honest.

Anyone else have any impressions on the new 3TEETH album? I'm 100% enjoying it, a lot of people giving Alexis poo poo for trying out new vocal styles all the time but I feel like it just gives variety over the length of a full album.

It's been years, if not decades, that I've been interested in an album that's newly released - is it common that there's some delay before it's available on bandcamp? Or is it just still unavailable when you're browsing from Europe? I don't see it on 3teeth.org either.

They are on Century Records now so I don't think they'll be putting it on bandcamp but they did release it on youtube

SRSQ is devastating and out of this world, like if you combined Twin Peaks with the blue opera-singing space alien from the Fifth Element and made it goth. Street Sects is like if you combined Mike Patton with Nine Inch Nails and with so much fog that it makes Covenant's use of fog look like a baby-level amount of fog.

There was a lot of fog.

VIVIsectVI would be my pick over Rabies, which outside of Worlock is primarily notable for holding the band together for a few more albums. It’s not very representative of their sound either.
Yeah I'm not reading the Pitchfork list under any circumstances but VIVIsectVI is their best album and possibly the best industrial album of all time. :colbert:

Television is the retina
of the mind's eye.
My favorites were every other album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, Vivisect VI, and Too Dark Park were my favorites - and I was less keen on Cleanse, Fold & Manipulate, Rabies, and Last Rights overall (though each still had tracks I loved).

I liked "industrial" being a catch-all term for a wide variety of music. Hyphenated micro-genres are a creative straight-jacket.

I love Last Rights. From "Love in Vein" to "Download," the whole album is great. My least favorite track is "Lust Chance," but mostly because it's embarrassing if someone else hears it. But it's still great music.

When I used to have real life conversations about which Skinny Puppy album was my favorite, I would say Too Dark Park and Last Rights played as one continuous album. That's my poo poo.

I love all of Skinny Puppy's pre-Process output, though. The Process is... fine. Not great. Didn't really age well. Definitely feels like another band's album.

I've fallen out of love with their post-2000 output. It used to be very important to me, but sometime after Weapon I was listening to it in the car and something just rubbed me the wrong way, and I said, "digital bullshit," outloud to myself, and that phrase pretty much sums up how I feel about the new stuff now.

Fans of old Puppy should check out Statiqbloom, they just released a new album called Asphyxia. Their previous album, Blue Moon Blood is also great.

literally just came here to post about Statiqbloom. They clearly loved their ’80s industrial bands who hit barrels with hammers and wanted to do that but on Ableton Live. They are openly nostalgic, and pay rather more attention to song structure than their heroes did. Like if alternative buttrock industrial didn’t have guitar solos, and barely had guitars. The album.

yeah i am super into this. it's like clan of xymox but really fun and good and not boring

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5411duvNeE

they just have a way of kicking everyone's rear end completely and making it look easy like when that bass kicks in at 3:10 and also when they just kick even more rear end at 5:57

also went back and watched another one of their videos and noticed like half the people in it were at the SRSQ show the other night, and then i looked down at the credits and recognized the director's name. largely a local crew / gang / posse of trans women artists who live in my town and work with them so that's cool. feels like i'm the last guy to figure things out around here.

Here's a mega long shot: any of you have any releases by a band called Cut Rate Box? I knew them in high school and had their home made tapes, then many years later I saw that they had apparently somewhat "made it" but I've never been able to actually find any of their stuff aside from one remix they did of a Xymox song

Side note, who else is old enough to remember when they were just named Xymox, not Clan Of

I remember Cut.Rate.Box - I even saw them live once about 15 or 16 years ago. I don't actually have anything of theirs unfortunately :-(

Unrelated: Rammstein were awesome live, and I think it's both funny and sad that their live show is exactly what a lot of electro-industrial bands would do if they had the money/fanbase for it.

I’ve got the first 2 cut.rate.box discs in my basement somewhere. I was buddies with one of the Gashed! guys, they were counting on that band exploding. Meh. There’s some good stuff on New Religion.
