It's not a compilation of across-the-board greatest songs, but the
Skinny Puppy singles collection does the old
12" Anthology one better by including tracks from the group's three
Nettwerk albums of the 1990s (
Rabies,
Too Dark Park, and
Last Rights). For fans, it's long been a dream to have the full fruits of the industrial kingpins' long career all on one disc --
"Dig It," one of
Skinny Puppy's first and best singles, appears right beside
"Worlock," from 1989's
Rabies. Also aboard are a baker's dozen of well-selected career highlights, including
"Assimilate," "Tormentor," "Deep Down Trauma Hounds," "Stairs and Flowers," "Testure," "Tin Omen," "Inquisition," and
"Killing Game." Though a chronologically ordered compilation would have been a better idea,
The Singles Collect sounds excellent all the way through and proves that
Skinny Puppy was, hands down, the best and most adventurous band of the industrial era.
