Free Music Review: And to think Americans make fun of the French! HAH!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow dudes, if all of the people in this country heard this album I think they'd stop dead in their tracks about they make fun of the French and also Canadians for that matter! I don't even know why people make fun of Canada as if it's a lesser country, in fact I think Canada is very underrated. Think about it, there's way better health care systems, it seems like they actually are a little more "about the people", they're more relaxed about weed (so I've heard) and there's a lot less violence.
Anyway besides all that Canada has given us something else much more sinister... and I'm talking about Cryptopsy. Since I've always been more of a simpler guy in my music I've tended to think this whole tech metal thing was pretty damn overrated but these past couple of months have made me see the light. I'm starting to really dig this s**t, I still say it's maybe a tad overrated but it's still amazing.
So musically how does this measure up? Well like everyone says this is pretty friggin brutal, FAST, and of course technical. The guitar tone is atonal and sharp but very clean sounding, it's very cool. Levasseur writes some off-the-wall riffs and his solos are very Chuck Schuldiner inspired therefore they're great. I know I'll sound redundant on this topic but the drums...THE DRUMS! Even when I thought this album was really overrated I always loved the drumming, I might even say this Flo guy is the best drummer ever, but then again I kind of like Mike Smith of Suffocation a bit more. What I find the most impressive about Flo is not necessarily his technicality but that he has creative fills throughout the album and doesn't really overuse the blast beat thus making it far more effective. Songwise I have to say that Phobophile is hands-down my fave, it just has the best and catchiest riffs plus it has that nasty part towards the beginning where the hyper blast beats, thick bass, and sweet chugging riff all come together into a synergistic explosion! Yeah you know what I'm talkin' about, it's very reminscent of other explosive parts in Entombed's Abnormally Deceased and Morbid Angel's Maze of Torment (two of my favorite DM songs ever).
I do, however, have several criticisms of the album. One is the twangy bass... twangy bass in DEATH METAL? Ok I'll give Langolis originality points but they'd be much more appropriate on a Primus album as opposed to a death metal one. Other than that the bass is great when it's audible. Most imporantly my main complaint is actually of Lord Worm. I think he's a very overrated vocalist period. This may sound like an oxymoron but I'd describe him as simultaneously intense and boring. His grunts lack variety (he reminds me of a caveman) and his screams are sort of cool but people like Chuck Schuldiner and LG Petrov destroy him in that department. I also think his grunting is TOO unintelligable. At least Frank Mullen (of Suffocation) and others you know they're trying to say SOMETHING. Honestly, I don't even know why he bothered to write lyrics and it's too bad you can't understand him at all because they're not that bad. I will give the man credit on his uncanny ability to hold a note, he does that better than anyone else in DM. Thankfully all the other instruments drown him out.
So is this the best DM album ever? Nah. I'd still say that's Seven Churches or Left Hand Path. Will it rip your face off? YES IT WILL! And that's what's the most important thing to me, not technicality or anything like that. Overall this is DEFINITELY a work of art seamlessly taking together extremity and creativity. So far my tech DM collection is small but I plan on increasing it in the near future.
Highlights - Crown of Horns, Benedictine Convulsions, and of course PHOBOPHILE!
