The album is an excellent introduction into the world of SP. I got it in 1990 and it was revelation to me - I have acquired all their other albums, singles, etc., as a result of buying this album.

Best tracks (IMO) are: Rodent, Hexonxon, Worlock (also released as a single), Tin Omen (also released as a single),Chloralone and Rivers. Alien Jourgensen's influence on this album is apparent through the stripped down arrangements and the addition of heavy metal riffing in Rodent and Tin Omen. Most hardcore fans prefer Last Rites, Too Dark Park and Vivisect iV due to the incredible detail in the programming of sounds and arrangements but this album is good as it still shows a wide variety of ideas and textures.

Heavy metals fans wil probably not enjoy this that much due to the lack of guitars but for people who like their agressive synths ansd sequencers occasionally coupled with a few riffs and shouted (but intelligent lyrics dealing with civil rights, environmental pollution, etc.) then this album is a must.

As harsh and unrelenting as Ministry, yet as danceable as Front 242, Skinny Puppy sum up the whole industrial ethic better than any other band. And 'Rabies' - which features musical and vocal contributions from Al Jourgensen - is definitive Puppy: part man, part machine, part something else entirely. The Key tracks on the album are 'Tin Omen', 'Worlock', 'Fascist Jockitch'

Some good, experimental Puppy. 20 Jun 2000
By Cognitive Dissonance - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
First thing, there are 2 versions of this disc. The old one, and the new [Remastered] one. The way to tell is by the printing on the disc itself. If it's dull black with the songs listed, it's the old one. If it is shiny black with just "Skinny Puppy Rabies" at the bottom, you've got the [Remastered] version. That's the one Amazon sells.

Why such emphasis on [Remastered]? Well, usually that doesn't make much difference, but in this case it definitely DOES. The original release of Rabies suffered from PATHETIC production and mastering, and sounded like crap. I remember having to turn my stereo up to 9 just to hear the thing. Analog noise everywhere and some parts just weren't brought out enough at all... like the guitar on Tin Omen and all the synthesizers in Worlock, where the samples drowned out EVERYTHING. However, the [Remastered] version has NONE of these faults. The difference is unfrickinbelievable. I got it about 2 weeks ago and after one listen I threw the old one away. The production here rivals that of Too Dark Park and VIVIsectVI... Clear, intense sound, everything is accentuated just right, and nothing overpowers anything anymore. You can even hear (clearly!) the rumbling low synths behind the guitars in Fascist Jockitch.

Now, for the music... I don't know why everyone trashes this album, cuz EVERY industrial band did some metal experimenting here and there, why should SP be an exception? It wasn't a real turning point in their sound, considering that Too Dark Park came out the very next year. They were just experimenting. If you ask me, they went through this phase more gracefully than any other group... especially teaming up with Al Jourgensen... brilliant choice. His work on Tin Omen, Rodent and Fascist Jockitch was absolute genius. Also, there are still a few true-to-form Puppy songs here... including the almighty Worlock.

If you've got the old version, get this new one and you'll be literally shocked... and maybe then you won't be so disappointed with the album. Until next time...

The Puppy With Rabies CD, It's Not Mainstream!!! 26 May 2005
By Mike - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Rabies is perhaps the Skinny Puppy cd that could've came close to the mainstream at the time it came out in 1989. However, this is Skinny Puppy we're talking about. There's just no room in the mainstream for the likes of this innovative, harsh-conscious band. With that said, Rabies isn't all that accessible to the majority of music listeners. Has Puppy ever been that accessible? Really? The main difference b/w this cd and previous cds is mainly that it's more guitar-driven. What that does is just add another nice touch to SP's evolution.

I mention this mainly because Rabies is always mentioned as Ministry-influenced. I don't think Ministry hold a big place for this cd. Most of the mood, texture, and style found in Rabies is definitive Puppy. Nightmarish, demonic voices. Insane, druglike music. Crazy horror-movie samples. Typical Puppy.

Make no mistake, Rabies is one of SP's toughest, most essential cds around. Once the listener tunes out Ministry's presence, Rabies is certain to feel like the hard-hitting, head-trippin' work that Skinny Puppy had probably intended it to be. It's an hour of ferocious greatness that will melt your brain and you'll be glad to repeat the effects. One more thing, check out the original version of Tin Omen on their B-Sides CD. It is actually better than the regular version.

I've been bit. 12 July 2005
By H3@+h - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I'm not a Skinny Puppy fanatic, but of the albums I've heard, "Rabies" is my favorite. Alot has been made of the production from Al Jourgenson, but the influence is subtle, and this is no Ministry. Most of this is excellent, but favorites are "Rodent", "Worlock", "Rivers", and of course "Tin Omen". Anybody new to the band would be best off with this album, "Too Dark Park", or obviously "The Singles Collection". This is simply an essential album from one of the essential industrial bands, and "Rabies" will have you foaming at the mouth.
