- Great Album
I enjoyed this album. I would have liked it to have been longer than it was but Darkest Days makes up for that with sixteen tracks I suppose. I enjoyed the harder songs most. I Don't Believe, Shame, Falls Apart, So Wrong, and Why are probably my favorites. Sleep is a very depressing song about sexual abuse that really makes you think. The album is great as a whole though and I am glad I purchased it. Though the album may not be for everyone. If you like Stabbing Westward's style then you will enjoy this.

no band is better than stabbing westward when you're just having a horrible day. This cd isn't as good as Darkest Days, but it's more raw and more upset, at least in some ways, in my opinion.

- One part rock, one part grunge + one part industrial='WBB&P'
Dark lyrics along with great arrangments and a solid rhythm section, you get Stabbing Westwards' second album, the immensly popular 'Wither,Blister,Burn & Peel'. Every song is very well crafted with heavy parts, quiet parts and just rocking parts. Every song back to back is very solid with absolutly NO fillers. Many sing along pieces and catchy riffs through out. A definite addition to anyones collection.

- to D. Girod "graboidz" review
for that guy to somehow play off that industrial has some sort of formula thats more tired than any other form of music is frustratingly ignorant. the guy obviously just doesnt like industrial and is about as qualified to review an industrial album as my grandfather is to review an outkast album. industrial didnt die off because the formula grew tired, its in my opinion that industrial has much more room to evolve than heavy metal or punk or goth. it died off because there are only a handful of bands that knew what it took to make a good industrial album and 50,000 lame bands that had no idea how to handle the technical side of industrial the way that trent reznor, cevin key, and raymond watts do. but i still give this band and album 3 stars because the band is just decent. and not from lack of effort i feel there is at least some honesty there but the lyrics are a bit whiny and very cliched. thats definately my biggest complaint about it. theres definately some good high points and good writing there. but its definately short of being a life changing album. but its trapped in one mood and doesnt really go anywhere.

- Not bad, but not as good as Ungod and Darkest Days
This is pretty solid effort from beginning to end (except for Slipping Away), but except for Shame (which is probably THE best song on the album), Falls Apart and So Wrong the album lacks a lot of the lyrical quality and intensity that Ungod and DD contain. While "What DO I have To do" may have been an MTV buzz clip, I've always thought that the song was somewhat overrated. IS it a good song, yes, but anyone saying that that song is Stabbing Westward's crowning achievement is selling the band short.

Starting an album off with "I'm such an @$$hole" may or may not be a good idea, but if you do, then you better back it up. WBB&P falls short. The lyrics to this album are almost all internally focused. Why talk so much about lyrics? Because that is what really sets SW apart fron other bands..

Yeah the music is good, but it is the lyrics that really make this band.

You won't be dissapointed in buying this album, unless you bought it instead of Ungod or Darkest Days.
