the most demented 10 seconds on this record is the sound of the playground as necropedophile is ending

death metal bands have been trying to recapture the pure fuck you brutality of these early records for decades and havent really quite done it

This might be the most game changing DM album ever objectively. More of a Corpsegrinder guy but I think I'll have more appreciation for this on a revisit. Brutal DM finally clicked for me last year and this kind of inspired em all

oh yeah cannibal and suffocation are equally as important in brutal death existing. the entire genre is basically both bands put into a meat grinder

I haven’t jammed their whole discography but if I’m picking one it’s Eaten.

"ratings below 3.5 are indicators of poor taste"

they'll cancel out if there are 4+'s to Opeth, later-era Death, or Edge of Sanity, comparatively this doesn't have as much variety

jam the bleeding again it’s so fkin good

I still have a copy of Vile laying around somewhere as well.

Who is listening to Corpse for variety is my question. Part of their appeal is that they stick to their core sound and can still make it sound good/creative til this day

they remind me of AC/DC, not in sound but in basically every album sounding just like the last, even down to the Barnes era being to them what Bon Scott was to early AC/DC. this does mean that corpsegrinder gets a brian johnson comp which does feel unfair tho, because Bon > Brian but George > Chris

Idk. people always used to clown on nickelback because "all their songs sounded the same", but clearly that doesn't bother them that much if they turn on an AC/DC record that's even less stylistically varied... just hypocrisy

Album Rating: 3.5

The difference is AC/DC sucks and Cannibal Corpse doesn't . Also as much as I think AC/DC blow I think they have enough to distinguish songs from one another

Album Rating: 4.5

some ignorance up in here damn.....just because the formula hasn't changed much throughout the years does not mean that the songs and albums sound the same......listen to a skeletal domain after listening to this.....totally different band......corpse fans are listening to the technicality and musicianship thats happening on ever record......cant say the same for acdc or nickelback

stylistically there's not much evolution between say, the razors edge, and something like black ice, i'd only be able to tell a difference by the production if i shuffled both of those albums, and with corpse, i could shuffle this/butchered at birth/the bleeding it'd be nearly impossible to, without looking, guess what album it came from.

and yeah skeletal domain sounds different - better production and vocals immediately stick out - but the diff between that and say, chaos horrific would probably be impossible to spot without looking if you put two random songs together on shuffle, one from skeletal and the other from chaos.

Totally with you Titan. It's pretty easy to tell Corpse albums apart. I'd even argue it's harder to make consistently great material under their sound at the rate they do.

Album Rating: 4.5

i think the albums got better as time went on.....if i could only keep a series of 4 albums, it's the most recent 4....those albums rip your face off in my opinion

i think it is just that meat-and-potatoes sound that doesn't interest me as much because i personally do need that variance, or maybe I just need an emotional connection that I don't get here?

I said it before, they’ve been pumping out great to classic albums for 35 years. survived the late 90’s and never made a groove metal album, never sold out, never fucked with their sound, and also never made a bad album.

name me one other band in history that has done that. I can’t think of any.

can't!

i say it n i say it agen cc mid balls cookie cutter dm well deserving of the best selling dm band of all time for stripping the genre down to its nethers so all can see

Album Rating: 3.5

Corpse also survived losing an essential singer and an essential guitarist/songwriter and are still putting out great material
