1996, Touch and Go Records
On their final full-length album, Brainiac move further into the unchartered territory that they explored on Bonsai Superstar, and perhaps because of that, the album seems initially less exciting. However, while they take a somewhat smaller creative step between these two albums than between Bonsai Superstar and Smack Bunny Baby, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture nonetheless offers up a fascinating dose of space-age sound bites, falsetto vocals and chant-along choruses. The opening four tracks are astounding, especially 'Pussyfootin'' and the loopy 'This Little Piggy.' The middle of the album drags a bit, but it comes to a blistering conclusion with 'Nothing Ever Changes' (recorded by Steve Albini) and 'I Am a Cracked Machine.' - All Music Guide
