Skinny Puppy -- Bites & Remission

  Innovative Industrial luminaries, Skinny Puppy.  I have no clue as to why people like this music and furthermore is it really music?  Although this would be a wicked soundtrack if you were a depressed junkie doing heroin in a basement slum apartment on a rainy day, sweltering in your dark pit of deair!

Sloan -- One Chord To Another

  Sloan's crowning achievement One Chord To Another.  This is the band at their best, using a slew of new instruments, less formulaic song structure and getting deeper into their Beatlesesque Indie Rock.  All in all this is Sloan at their creative height!
