 Key and Co.'s Creative Pinnacle(thus far, hopefully) May 21, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Out of all his amazing catalogue of work, Skinny Puppy, Hilt, Tear Garden, Key hit his mark most accurately with Eyes of Stanley Pain. Crushingly innovative, endlessly interesting(I'm still discovering new intricacies, despite having had it in my regular rotation for over two years,) this disc is quite beyond verbal description, but I'll try and use them to sell it to you, anyway: This is a major cornerstone for not only industrial, but for all forms of electronic music. Ambient, industrial, and beat driven techno are all given a breath-taking new spin by Key, Marshall and Spybey(whose lyrics are absolutely incredible, a soundscape element more than actual vocals, his words adding the mental scenery,) create with their synths and samplers an alien world that is both tearfully beautiful and darkly disturbing. All conventions are shattered, all rules are broken. I'm not normally one to run my mouth about how much I love an album, but this is one of about 10 that I feel deserves all the superfluous praise I can pile on. In a word: Buy.
An excellent CD! June 13, 2004

A truly amazing album such as this deserves more recognition then it has gotten, I have and do reccomend this CD to anyone who enjoys a taste for the wierd, odd, even slightly insane, but not for the faint of heart or those without an open mind to different music, as this is about as different as it can get.
The album starts off like a rocket with Suni C, amazing the listener with odd and wonderous sounds which are plentifully disperssed throughout the entire CD, alot of the sounds are rough on the ears, very loud and unexpected, always suprising the novice and even after several listens.
This is one of those albums that you can find something different in everytime you listen, every time I listen to this CD I always say "I never noticed that before."
Its probably because there are so many sounds happening at one time that it may overhwelm the listener and once the listener is acclimated then the sounds begin to sink in.
In conclusion, The Eyes of Stanley Pain is a revolutionary album years ahead of it's time, it is a CD that deserves to be heard, just remember, if you're thinking about buying this CD that it is definatley worth it.
Probably the best electronic album ever September 5, 1999

I bought this album two years ago and it changed my life. The complexity and intenseity have keep me looking for something to compare it to, I have yet to find it. The lyrics and music wrap together and pull you into another dimension. Pure Genius.

'Pain' is the most complex, mind-blowing, ingenious electronic (or any genre for that matter) music I have heard to date. I love musicians that push their genre and the structure and boundaries of music in general to the limits, and Download drops my jaw every time I listen to this album. They not only push it to the limits, they blow right past them to redefine, twist, and sculpt the idea of music altogether. Will definately be one of my all time favs. Highly recommended.
cEvin loves the Gristtle Box. May 29, 2004

This is what the new Skinny Puppy should have been. If you do not have this in your collection, then shoot yourself, this is possibly the BEST of industrial to date! When Genesis was helping with The Process, he brought along a hand built Gristtle Box from his Throbbing Gristtle days, and cEvin fell in love with it and began Download with Genesis and his beloved Gristtle Box, this is one of those early projects and as potent as Doubting Thomas, but in it's own unique way!
