Grindcore is quite possibly the greatest/worst genre of all time. Comprised of 40-second clips of god-knows-what-hardcore-metal, it is essentially what you listen to when you have no attention span, and you don't care abot the music making sense.

From the beginning of this album, with "Cloned For Carrion" kicking it off with a short sound clip of:
"Are you a god?"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"No"
"Then DIE!"
you know that you're in for some really bad stuff.
After a few more rediculously titled blasts of incomprehensible metal, we get to the highlight of the album, "The Decapitation Of Cattle," a five-second long song with bizarre lyrics ("DIE A BOVINE!") which is bettered only by the bands sequel to the song appearing on a more recent album, entitled "The Recapitation of Cattle" (it's lyric is "REVENGE!").
It ends with the bizarre "Colon-Blo" and then it's over. This is an 18-track album, with a length just over that same number.
Enjoy if you want a laugh, otherwise, it's horrid.

Terrible review, even though I don't like grindcore this review is bad, not nearly enough detail. More than half of the review is this:

"Are you a god?"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"No"
"Then DIE!"


Add more detail next time and it would be better.

Fitting review. I don't get how people can actually listen to grindcore. I mean, I'm into a lot of extreme music (like Japanese noise) too, so that's not the problem. The problem is that grindcore doesn't have any substance. The "songs" don't have any kind of distinct character, aren't memorable in even the slightest way and are, for the most part, over before you can even figure out what's going on.
Maybe I'm ignorant or something, but I think it's the worst music ever made.

I actually want to hear this album, since I'm a fan of this band's recent work which is death metal with some grind passages. Apparently this album took the goregrind underground by storm, so idk. Apparently the reviewer isn't a fan of grind, you might as well have written a review for the entire genre if all you're going to talk about is how much the genre sucks. You may as well have written a soundoff.

Neg from me.

This is an 18-track album, with a length just over that same number.

best part is the album is 16 minutes, not "just over 18".

16 minutes? Can anyone say EP? Maybe these guys have more musical ideas than Mike Patton but am I alone in asking bands to devote at least 25 minutes to a CD's worth of musical ideas? And maybe no more than 70 minutes? When you pare down Tool's albums to the good songs you usually have a good 50 minute album. I defy anybody to find a below 25-minute LP or an over-70 minute LP that was not too short/too long, respectively.

This isn't an under 25 LP, it's a 16 minute EP. And they dont have more ideas than anyone; it's toooooottaly repetitive.

This album kinda blows compared to their newiest stuff, and this review blows compared to a 2nd graders essay.

This was a much more stripped down Cattle Decapitation. Review is useless.

I dont think people that have little understanding/appreciation for a style of music should review bands from that genre. They will obviously be biased or atleast not know the valid points for that band or genre. Someone else shoudl have written this review, and yeah i actually love this album =]
