YMMV / Skinless

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Era: From Sacrifice To Survival is widely disparaged by the fanbase due to flat production and underwhelming song-writing, as well as the decision to cut Sampling from the album. The band themselves have no love for this album, either.
  • Awesome Music: For starters, the entirety of Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead counts as this.
  • Funny Moments: The band noting with some detectible amusement that most of the people who were illegally downloading Only the Ruthless Remain were actually getting From Sacrifice to Survival (which is widely considered to be their worst album) with the names of the new tracks listed.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Giovanna Plowman eating her own tampon makes the lyrics for "Tampon Lollipops" that much more cringeworthy to read.
  • Nausea Fuel:
    • The sample for "Tampon Lollipops", in which a man describes a sexual encounter he had with a legless woman. The lyrics are even worse, since they're Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
    • For that matter, read the lyrics to any of their Toilet Humor songs in mixed company, and see how many people lose their lunch.
    • The music video for "Skinless", which is linked to in the Mascot entry on the main page.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • The sample for "Execution of Reason", where a man talks about the "glorious music" heard by hanging men, then hangs himself
    • The cover art for Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead, viewable here.
    • The music video for "Skinless", for roughly the same reasons it makes Nausea Fuel above.
  • Signature Song: "Tampon Lollipops" and "The Optimist".
