Raw, influential, innovative, brutally straight-forward, and a blueprint for "Death'n'Roll". These guys helped to form/shape genres, and are sorely missed in the metal game.

Very much an experimental album for Carcass. Imagine Metallica's self titled album but it's made by a death metal group. It's got a slower, groovier sound than their earlier work but still with the same growls and lyrical themes similar to those of Heartwork. Overall, I think it's worth a listen but certainly won't please everyone.

Such a weird, "go-as-you-please" death'n'rock album. It's great fun, and punchy too.

carcass, largely due to a lack of amott's influence and from hearing their gothenburg rivals, finally realize what mdm is all about. unfortunately it still sucks

A fun album, though entirely forgettable. Carcass? last pre-reunion album aptly named Swansong shows them exploring yet another extension of Death Metal; Rot ?n? Roll. They do it well, and make an all decent album, however the memorable leads and crushing riffs are not to be found here.

Very different for Carcass, but still pretty cool. Childs Play and Room 101 are my favorite cuts.

Swansong is a very odd album by Carcass as it is simply more accessible rock and hard rock tunes played in the style of death metal, a strange but gratifying combination.

Carcass goes hard rock n' roll with extreme vocals. Great album despite the sprinkle of fillers. They'll be back 18 years later with a beast of an album.

Carcass have never made a terrible album, even here, the low-point of their career by far. The first half of this album in its entirety is enough reason to put this down for good. They work more towards being catchy and melodic than they do actually writing cohesive music. Gone are the band's lyrical subjects of pathological gore, and undead destruction, and has instead been replaced by mediocre bleh. While the bass is audible here (and that is definitely a huge plus) the guitars are just too soggy, and the drums are a shadow of their former glory. The band has without a doubt slowed down, and its been for the worse. However the second half of this album does pull it out of the scrap heap, but it's not enough for me to want to come back to this side of the band.
