Advantages: One of the most hardcore Cannibal Corpse albums to date
Disadvantages: Might put off new listeners due to vocal style.

...This is Cannibal Corpse's second album, and possibly most contreversial. For example the album was banned in Germany until 2006 due to the gorey cover art that includes zombies, disemboweled mother and hundreds of hanging fetuses The guitar and general sound of the album is less heavy than that of later albums, due to drop tuning of the guitars later in their career. Howver the vocals are more uncomprehensible on thsi album, giving the album a more brutal feel. This album has been suggested to be one of the greatest Cannibal Corpse have done to date. My personal favourite track is 'Rancid Amputation' . This song features really heavy riffs and an impressive guitar solo. This song was covered in a parody by an australian comic team.

This song is great I love the music, vocals and lyrics even though it isnt really for the faint hearted. Unfourtulty there isnt many songs on the EP and this is the last one to right about. So this is the last song containing horrow, gore, and everything else that is cannibal corpse. The EP itself is just so amazing, although it contains very crude, disturbing, horrific, obscene lyrics in it there is pure total genious within the songs. It brings out another side of music compared to the songs that top the charts, I can see why bands such as cannibal corpse don't get onto the charts because of the obscene lyrics and the fact that it is a whole...
