Pro Reviews: Mythmaker
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Nine Inch Nails and Ministry usually get all the credit for introducing industrial music to the masses during the early 90s. But another group that had been championing the style for just as long actually, longer was Skinny Puppy. While the two aforementioned bands had obvious hard rock leanings, Skinny Puppy always aligned themselves more with electro dance, which they continue to do so on their thirteenth release overall, 2007's Mythmaker.' Longtime leaders Ogre and cEvin Key obviously know what their following wants to hear, as synth clicks/blips and processed vocals remain the group's main sonic ingredients, especially on such selections as the album opening "magnifishit," "daL," and "politikiL." Not a lot has changed in the world of Skinny Puppy circa Mythmaker,' but that's just the way Ogre and Key like it. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide |

Pros: An excellent addition to the Puppy catalog
Cons: ummmm. . .can't really think of any
Mythmaker is an album that will grab you within the first 5 seconds of Magnifishit (track 1) and likely not let go until the end of the final track. All the noise, loops and samples are masterfully placed. . .if you're into your music on the noisy side and served up with imagery of maggots, rotten meat and excretia, you'll be right at home.
Longtime fans should be quite pleased. I see this album as a return to form in context to the reasonable, though not stellar, Greater Wrong of the Right. I truly cannot wait for the tour. ...
