THIS IS THE SICKEST, SEEDIEST, MOST BRUTAL DEATH METAL RECORD EVER. At least, I think. Don't try and (or do) tell me anything about the likes of any other major bands or records, I've sampled 'em all. It took me a while to get used to this record; it's so brutal it was hard to listen to and the abundant canniblast put me off at first.
Cannibal Corpse reached the pinnacle of brutal death metal with this record, and all that was left for the genre to do was go in a more technical direction, every release being faster, more technical, more complex, more "brutal", meanwhile it didn't work. More technical = less brutal/primitive. More technical = more sophisticated, and sophistication is the opposite quality of the brute.

Free Music Review: Killer
Hit: 5 Stars
At first, I didn't like this album much, but then I actually listened to it a bit more. Gutted(The Song) inspired me to buy it. The drumming absolutely tears up anything CC have produced after this album(Haven't heard EBTL), brutal. I'd say this album lives up to Tomb Of The Mutilated, or at least pretty close. The vocals aren't as sick but the musicianship is fantastic. Basically, if you like CC, you'll like this album, especially the psychotic double bass pedal blasting :) The remaster features a video which I have yet to make function on both of the newer remasteres, and a live song(Covered With Sores) with vocals by Corpsegrinder.Free Music Review: Trying To Even Things Out

I'd recommend the remaster of Eaten Back To Life over this cd, but I'd still give this cd about 4 stars. It gets a bit repetitive here and there, but it's a very good cd overall. The remastering helped considerably. The bass is still buried under everything else (which is unfortunate, because Alex is the best thing this band ever had), but the guitar sound is much improved. I'm giving it 5 stars to help even it out a bit, thanks to a couple of ignorant twits that didn't justify their poor reviews. I'd recommend the remaster of Eaten Back To Life over this cd.Free Music Review: Awesome death metal!
Hit: 5 Stars
Cannibal Corpse are the leaders in hardcore death metal. No emo/nu-metal wussy crap here just brutal non-conforming riffs, lyrics and vocals. Great set list and gruesome cover art as is expected from this band. If you don't like this band then you probally should listen to a band called Cannibal Corpse.Free Music Review: when i'm in the mood (3.5 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
cannibal corpse has been getting a lot of bad press lately in the underground, i suppose a lot of people are getting bored with them, but i still enjoy their earlier albums. after barns left (to join the fairly weak six feet under) the band lost part of their sickening aura in favor of a more complex approach, but is that why we listen to gory metal? people say the band is single minded and a bit dull, and of course they are, but if they weren't i would never listen to this.
the instrumentation on this album is in the old school style mostly, the druming differs from more recent styles in a way, not being a drummer i'm not sure how to describe it, there is certainly less bass drum work on this record than some of their later output. most of the time both guitars and bass move together in simple crunchy riffs, with some time changes. the vocals are groaned in a very monotone fashion and the whole of the album is very repetative.
now to the lyrics, i know a great number of mothers were upset about this and cannibal corpse's other albums, and you can see why in those wonderfully colorful, wholesome lyrics. lines like "deterioration of grated genitals, dangling from the hooks - obscene feelings deep inside me" show that while the whole ordeal is pretty weird, it is purposly over the top. sometimes i can't decide whether or not it supposed to be entirely funny or just a dry exageration, but either way it can be entertaining. i really have to admit, it is funny to hear people complain about this band; they never claimed to be dream theater.
well i don't listen to this very often, though i am while writing this. my favorite song is without a doubt 'covered with sores.' get this if you enjoy the gorey stuff, but it isn't as good as carcas. for new death metal fans i would recomend the bleeding as their best album as well, as this one does get tedious, but i'd also recomend morbid angel and autopsy first.
