Carcuss - Choice Cuts. Best cuts or discount cuts?

Advantages: Good all round selection for people new to the band
Disadvantages: Nothing new for fans of the band

Choice Cuts is a best of album, taking songs from a wide selection of the bands history. You will find some of the early Grind stuff but it mainly consists of the newer more melodic output. Being a Carcass fan I have most of the Album based tracks already, and none of these are actually re-recorded or re-mastered. The Peel Sessions are of a very raw sound quality, and may not be for everyone. The amount of rarities that are out there for this band ...
...this compilation, rather than the few pickings here. This would be a good CD for people new to Carcass and are looking for a nice sample from various parts of there history, as for long time fans, you can skip this as it contains very little you don't already have bar a few interviews and some other hard to find bits and bobs, most of which could be found on video site like youtube or something. ...

Cannibale Corpse - Kill, pretty much everything

Advantages: Pure brutal death metal that never stops the madness
Disadvantages: It doesnt last forever

...opening track “The Time To Kill Is Now” starts as it means to go on, fantastic. “Make Them Suffer” being the next track pretty much takes the crown for me, its the best track, although not by much as most of the tracks are all out perfect. The last track “Infinite Misery” is a instrumental track which I was rather weary of as the band doesn't seem the type to be able to pull it off very well. How wrong I was. Showcasing there rather mouth opening ...

Let precious chaos vent.

Advantages: good music, heavy
Disadvantages: a few weak songs and filler

...not really needed. 2. Principle of Evil Made Flesh. Wow, this song really kicks you in the balls. It is fast, heavy, and evil, just the way metal should be right? Great, apocalyptic lyrics are key to this song. Their is a guitar solo in it too, although it is very hard to hear, as it was mixed poorly. There is a female vocal part in the middle, after the solo, speaking some words of German before the song kicks back into full speed ahead. 3. The ...
...popular. This version though is way different than the one found on Vempire. It is slower, sloppier, and not as heavy. I can't really find any fault in it, except that maybe the keyboard part at the beginning may turn away some die hard Black Metal fans. 4. Iscariot. Another short instrumental piece. Skip. 5. The Black Goddess Rises. Another CoF classic and deservingly so. The intro piano part is very eerie, and reminds of an old late night 50's ...

Best Cradle album.

Advantages: Creates an atmosphere felt with very few albums
Disadvantages: You have to be in the right mood to listen to it

Already being the proud owner of five different cradle of filth albums, when my dad decided he disliked "Damnation and a day" i offered him a few quid for it. What i received was my favourite Cradle album. The album creates a huge atmosphere and in depth world. This is mainly done because it features the 40-piece Budapest Film Orchestra and 32-piece Budapest Film Choir. The concept The album is in four parts. The first two parts tell of the ...
...about satan's manipulation on Earth. So overall the album is based on the old testament. The lyrics The lyrics are some of my favourites. "Angels in raiments, As pure as coal, Taking their payments, In tortured mortal souls" The lyrics arn't for the faint hearted and arn't too popular with Christians but they are intelligent. You cannot base intelligence on opinion. The tracks I. Fantasia Down "A Bruise Upon the Silent Moon" (Intro) ...
