Absolute beauty.......2004-05-28

I'm always surprised when I read bad reviews of this album, especially when they come from longtime SP fans. "The Process" is my favorite with "The last rights". In my opinion, SP have always been about evolution and that's precisely what this album is about. It's a beautiful, sad and brave release. I couldn't care less if they use guitars or not as long as the music doesn't disappoint. And it doesn't, it sounds amazing, so very different from anything else.
Ogre is terrific as always while Cevin and Dwayne (r.i.p.) put out their most emotional music.
Yes this is not the same old Puppy (cold and industrial) but it seems that, for this ultimate release (at least with the classic line-up), they have decided to let their heart speak. The music is so hard to describe : somewhere between industrial, metal, electronica, goth and techno. The best requiem from one of the best bands ever.

This cd is worth it for the song "Death" alone. If you like this cd then i suggest you check out "SunnyPsyOp" by OhGr.

Dark, brilliant, beautiful masterpiece...great way to go out.......2003-11-09

What more can possibly be said about the amazing industrial/electronic band that was Skinny Puppy? All of their albums are amazing, but this is the first one I bought and for a final album, I must say they could not have picked a better note to go out on. I guess after 13 years and the tragic death of original member Dwayne a year before this cd's release, the Puppy boys just decided to call it quits. They must have known they were entering that studio for one last masterpiece...and that is just what this album is...a masterpiece. From the off-the-wall sample-driven opener "Jahya" to experimentals such as "Candle" and to the awesome "ballad"(?) of "Cult" this cd shows every side of Skinny Puppy, from the abrasive, noisy industrial that they were known for back in the day, and the more melodic side they showed by the end of their careers, every song paints a dark, desolate picture of it's own unique brilliance. Songs like "Death" go back to the heavier, more guitar-driven band the old school fans will know and love, and "Amnesia" (probably my favorite on this cd) is once again, showing somewhat more of their melodic side. I would highly recommend this to anybody new to this awesome band, but then again, I'd say that about ANY Puppy album. Buy this now, you will not regret it. I hope you fall in love with it as I did. Cheers, Skinny Puppy; take a bow, you deserve it. (RIP)

Not their best but good.......2003-10-23

I always hear a lot of negative comments about The Process but ya know what, I like it. I have been a long time Skinny Puppy fan and while I can admit this is not their best release ever its still worth owning. The content of the music does seem to skip around a bit between going hard and being more electronic. This was also the first time I ever heard Ogre singing without all his distortion, a good thing in my opinion.

Three great tracks include:
Candle
Curcible
Blue Surge

Blue surge is also a good track for clubs, I spin it from time to time and it always does well on the dance floor and people are always asking what SP song that was as I think a lot of SP fans never gave this CD much of a chance. I would recommend this cd to any SP fan and its a good CD to own for any goth/industrial type DJ for the three tracks listed above.

sad........2003-06-21

i bought this just recently, being affected by the circumstances it was created in; could not compromise my faith in SP with something that was tainted like this was; record label change/ death of group member/ creative differences starting to appear between the remainder.
vocals by ohgr in this seem subdued. the impression i get from his delivery is one of resignation. the music seems to be a little too forced (and almost unimaginative).
i hear a war in this between vocals and music. natural i guess; for either to grow the other must follow (and neither wanted to?).
track 8. "blue serge" is almost a recovery to form, and could serve as an indication of what direction ohgr was trying to go in and did in the trax on "welt" released later.
this cd is cool to crank up in your car or at a party and would probably go down much better in there than prior releases TDP or LR's (very uncompromising/ challanging works).
"millenium" or "hardwired" by FLA, and probably quite a few more cd's by other industrial bands do what this cd tries to do better.
