Yes, some of the Skinny Puppy stuff is fairly abrasive, but Doubting 
Thomas is missing Ogre, SP's singer and a main cause of SP's 
abrasiveness.  Download and Doubting Thomas are also more electronic 
than alot of SP albums, although the 2 download cds i have; Furnace, and 
The Eyes of Stanley Pain have Genesis P'Orridge (of Psychic-TV) doing 
annoying vocal bits over several of the tracks. Luckily III is missing 
this.

Of Skinny Puppy stuff, I would recommend checking out some of the older 
stuff, like Bites, or Remission. There is also a double cd that has one 
cd of older stuff that is amazing.  

np: Plug - Drum n' Bass For Papa (the second disc of collected eps is 
way better than the full length IMHO)
