Metal Reviews

such a sick album man. when that jamblock/cowbell busts out on keep on rotting in the free world i just want to scream as loud as i can.

It has a bad rep for very little reason - obviously not a patch on the previous albums, but more than worth listening to in its own right. Check Blackstar out as well, the band they formed after without Bill Steer.

yeah i've always been meaning to check out blackstar, i'll have to find an album.

I sometimes think I like it more than Heartwork but then I always go and listen to Heartwork again and I'm like, nah.

It's kinda fun but I hardly ever listen to it and it's a bit tedious to get through.

yeah the second half of the album isn't close to the first half but it's still a fun listen.

I want to like it, its not that I hate it or anything, but I love their early stuff especially Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious.

While I enjoy their earlier work more, Swansong is still a great, catchy album that has its place. Not a classic IMO, but still a fun album to listen to.

I guess I need to dust off my old Carcass CD's because I remember hating their earlier stuff years ago and wanting nothing to do with it. Too many of you guys are talking up the old stuff recently though, so I might as as well give them another spin.

eh I would describe necroticism as their mid-era stuff along with heartwork and describe reek of putrefacation and symphonies of sickness as their early stuff. necroticism was definitely a transformation from the grind of reek and symphonies.

True that. My fault I mentioned "earlier" mainly in refrence to before Swansong. Its all enjoyable for me, I listen to 'em somewhat fairly regularly haha. I enjoy their music videos for Heartwork, they're cool.
