The Greater Wrong of the Right
The Greater Wrong of the Right is the ninth studio album by Canadian electro-industrial band Skinny Puppy, released in May 2004. It was their first full-length record since The Process in 1996, and the first made without keyboardist Dwayne Goettel, who died in 1995, or producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie. Cevin Key produced it, and Mark Walk, who had worked with Ohgr, joined as an official member for the first time.
The band had taken time out for solo projects after the difficult sessions for The Process, then regrouped after a 2000 festival appearance and recorded through 2003. They aimed for more melodic song structures than before, which marks a real shift from their earlier work. Danny Carey and Wayne Static make guest contributions, and Steven R. Gilmore, a longtime collaborator, created the artwork. "Pro-test" was the single, and critics mostly praised the style and production.
