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 ...

THE GODS CONTINUE TO BE GODS

Advantages: Hear some of the best riffs death metal has been given.
Disadvantages: Erm. None that I've found yet

I've been a fan of Cannibal Corpse since they first started, and to be honest didn't think that new vocalist Corpsegrinder could have filled the shoes of Chris Barnes, who went off to start the pretty average Six Feet Under, BUT!!!! the first few seconds of this CD proves that Corpsegrinder is by far the stronger vocalist. "Devoured by Vermin" hammers this CD off to one of the most brutal starts ever heard. The rest of the album remains pounding ...

Cannibal Corpse - Brutal But Brilliant!

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 ...

DICTIONARIES OUT, CARCASS ARE BACK.

Advantages: The blinding track "Carnal Forge", the legibility of the songs and lyrics for newer listeners.
Disadvantages: Hard to find any. Stunning release.

Carcass kind of turned a corner with this album. (More or less) gone is the sick, medical dictionary language in the lyrics, as they mature, still with sick connotations, and phrases probably taken from the Collins Pocket book of Medicine, but this time worded more philosophical. The music has a different edge to it. The booming chugs and full on dark death metal evident on the masterpiece "Necroticism Descanting the insalubrious" has been replaced ...
...half. "Carnal forge", the second track on here, is a ride that you will never forget. Four minutes of pure insane 10-car pile ups and a mass brawling of guitars. Classics like "Heartwork" and "Buried Dreams" also appear, and some of the later songs have a dark melodica to them, that probably only Carcass could have emitted. The musicianship is a high standard, the songs are heavy and catchy at the same time, and are written perfectly. Also the production ...
