| Morbid Angel/carcass Ranked
Been in a huge Morbid Angel and Carcass kick lately. I've only really ever heard the first three enough to really rank them so I won't even bother with the rest (although I still do planning on checking them out). Carcass I've always been a fanboy for. | | 1 |  | Morbid Angel
Blessed Are The Sick
For me this album is most ambitious of Morbid Angel's first three releases; Altars Of Madness was great and certainly an important album for the genre but for me this album is where MA really started to separate themselves from the pack. Rating: 5 | | 2 |  | Morbid Angel
Covenant
A bit more streamlined than Blessed, Covenant somewhat is a backwards move for MA returning to a style that more so focused on speed but they still absolutely fucking nail it. I lose my mind for Vengeance is Mine and God of Emptiness. Angel of Disease is pretty sick as well and much better than the original. Rating: 4.5 | | 3 |  | Morbid Angel
Altars of Madness
More of a death/thrash album as opposed to straightforward death metal, Altars is still a revolutionary record and somewhat hinted at the unique Morbid Angel would take with future releases. Rating: 4 | | 4 |  | Carcass
Necroticism:Descanting The Insalubrious
Very much for the same reasons I love Blessed Are the Sick, Necroticism is easily Carcass's most adventurous outing. It has that classic (PERFECT) OSDM production, Bill Steer is a fucking riff machine and overall it is just a interesting album with top-notch compositions. Rating: 5 | | 5 |  | Carcass
Symphonies of Sickness
For me this is very much the perfect death/grind record. Always being more a fan of the former, Symphonies features all the best elements of death metal (ugly yet memorable riffs, chaotic solos and disgusting vocals amongst others) and at times opts for the pace of grind giving the album a nice sense of urgency at times. I would probably rate this album equally with Necroticism. Rating: 5 | | 6 |  | Carcass
Swansong
Being my first Carcass release, Swansong is a very special album for me; being one of my first metal albums with screamed vocals, Swansong's great sense of melody was the perfect thing to help ease me into more extreme pastures. I can understand why fans of Carcass in the beginning would be disappointed with this, but thinking back, how many really fucking awesome Rot n' Roll albums are there? I think people need to appreciate the fact that Carcass never did the same thing twice, and even though it may not been as "heavy" as some people wished, this album is still great and once again pushed the boundaries. Rating: 4.5 | | 7 |  | Carcass
Reek of Putrefaction
I dont give a damn if half the time I can't hear shit, this is easily one of the most intense records of all time. When you can hear the riffs they are so primitive and energetic it just makes you break out and beat the living shit out of someone. Carbonized Eye Sockets if the FUCKING TRACK on this for me. Rating: 4 | | 8 |  | Carcass
Heartwork
WHAT??? HEARTWORK LAST??? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? Stfu. Honestly this is so bland compared to the usual Carcass fare, sure it was one of the first melodeath records but that doesn't make it good, especially when albums like Terminal Spirit Disease and Lunar Strain were out around the same time and way better. Still as with most Carcass releases I still do like it, I just think it's overrated. Rating: 3.0 | |
TheSpirit
09.30.11 | Currently writing a review for Blessed are the Sick, hopefully i'll have it done relatively soon. Been loving THE FUCK out of these two bands recently, pretty much all I've been listening to. | KILL
09.30.11 | altars is best necroticism is best yea but wtf fartwork rules are you dumb/gay come on bro | TheNotrap
09.30.11 | Blessed are the Sick and Necroticism:Descanting The Insalubrious are also my fav.
You have a blessed taste dude | ShadowRemains
09.30.11 | "altars is best"
this
but ya all three rule | TheSpirit
09.30.11 | I think I just really enjoy the fractured sound of Blessed | HenchmanOfSanta
10.01.11 | Heartwork is much better than Swansong or Reek. | ShinXetsu
10.01.11 | Heartwork kills dude, bullshit. | pissbore
10.01.11 | wheres abominations
| TheSpirit
10.01.11 | Nah heartwork is overrated and nobody ever really takes the time to appreciate how much of a quality album swansong actually is. Its such a successful combination of rock and metal, people are too butthurt because its not another heartwork, but really its a much more interesting album. Also I like abominations but I haven't listned to it nearly as much as the three MA albums I have listed so I don't really think itd be fair to compare it. | AngelofDeath
10.01.11 | I agree with the top albums for both bands. That's pretty much all I have to say. | ShinXetsu
10.01.11 | I love me some Heartwork but I can kinda see where you're coming from, Swansongs really is a pretty good album. | HenchmanOfSanta
10.01.11 | Swansong is enjoyable but I wouldn't call it a much more interesting album. It's just 90s Megadeth with harsh vocals. | Inveigh
10.01.11 | yeah Blessed and Necroticism are the best from these bands | TheSpirit
10.01.11 | What's the point of ranking anything? You pose a dumb question riffoclock. And how are carcass overrated? Also swansong is a lot different than 90s megadeth, that's such a surface level evauluation | Flugmorph
11.28.23 | odd list, please fix | Ryus
11.28.23 | 2,3,4 are tied for my fave nice list spirit < 3 | Flugmorph
11.28.23 | 1 is a pleb pick |
