Just another CC album to add to their legacy, this oughta be one of my regular albums for a few months. _________________Scoop eyeballs, not mids. |

I understand that not everybody likes them, that's cool. Different strokes for different folks. But why in the f*ck do people do this historical revisionism to make it seem like Cannibal Corpse are unoriginal? Dudes are easily in the top 10 most influential death metal bands. But no, they're just some boring band with no ideas of their own. I meant that the latest album is derivative of their older material. Cannibal Corpse itself has a distinct style that, as many people have already said, nobody really sounds like. Quote: No, it's not a good way to describe it.

Why should everyone act apologetic and humble about their ideas in the first place. I don't think anyone is trying to insinuate that only their opinion can be true.

TheIbexMoon666 Metalhead Joined: Sat May 01, 2010 12:44 am Posts: 1726 Location: United States | Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:04 pm Well I really like it. Alex Webster was right when he said they were trying to make every song stand out on its own. I think they accomplished that perfectly. The production job is awesome as far as every instrument really bleeding through perfectly. However I think some of the leads and guitar solos should be a bit louder. One thing I always did like about their production jobs in the past was the brick wall layered sound that they kind of strayed away from this time. But you have to love the bottom end chunk that they get perfect everytime. Torture is definitely in my top five albums of the year. As I listen to it more we will see if it will derail Aborted or Napalm Death on my list. I still dont know what the big deal is about Scourge Of Iron. I think it is the weakest slow track they have ever made. There are so many better songs on this album. Once I have gotten to know this album better and really digest it is when I will be able to tell you If I like more then Evisceration Plague or even if its as good as an album like Bloodthirst. My favorite songs are Sarcophagic Frenzy, As Deep As The Knife Will Go, Intestinal Crank, Fallowed Home Then Killed, The Strangulation Chair, Caged... Contorted, Crucifier Avenged. |

I'm really impressed so far (The Strangulation Chair is playing as I type this). On one hand, it's classic 'Corpse, but it feels...distilled to me. These compositions- That bass solo in Strangulation Chair just caught me by surprise. Completely out of left field but I love it. -anyway, these compositions feel unified, yet distinct from one another. It's traditional CC, but I can definitely see these riffs making this one of my favourite efforts from this band. We'll see how it holds up on repeat listens. |

Intestinal Crank may be my second favorite track on the album now, due to the lyrics, vocal patterns and really awesome riffing in the second half of the song. Plus, the middle of Caged...Contorted is really awesome with the start-stop riffing pattern. Some of the vocal patterns are really awesome and most of the lyrics are very entertaining. Cannibal Corpse have really impressed me a lot with this album, definitely my favorite that I've heard of their albums. _________________Last.fm |

Half of it is the standard "here's the band miming" shots and the other half is a portrayal of the lyrics of the song. It's a more explicit than implicit portrayal, which you don't see very often. _________________John_Sunlight wrote: Gif logos are a rare and special thing.

TheIbexMoon666 Metalhead Joined: Sat May 01, 2010 12:44 am Posts: 1726 Location: United States | Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:20 pm Honestly, Its a great album. One of my favorites to come out this year so far. However Im not really sure how great of an album it is lined up with the rest of their discography. I feel like it is a lot easier for most people to like this album. Especially if your not famiiar with their past few out puts. The production is louder and clearer. Corpsegrinder's vocals are much more understandable. There are a lot more straight forward riffs that are set up nicely by grooving drum beats as appose to the constant abuse of the blast beat. Over all Torture is not the darkest or most evil sounding Cannibal Corpse album. Its over tones aren't as dark as past releases. Torture is definitely one of the best Corpse Grinder records but Im not sure if I would call it the best since Bloodthirst. I feel like it carries more of a fun vibe that you get from an amazing thrash album as apose to the dark brutality of a death metal album that puts chills down your spine. This isnt exactly a bad thing but not what Ive come to expect from a Cannibal Corpse release. |

infinitenexus Metalhead Joined: Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:35 am Posts: 1895 | Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 10:00 am Just finished my first listen-through of the album. Overall I like it, and it definitely has that instantly recognizable sound of modern CC. However, I feel it's lacking the memorable guitar riffs of Kill (which is my favorite modern CC album). Corpsegrinder's vocals don't seem to fluctuate much either, he's just doing the same thing at the same pitch for most of the album. Other than that, I like it, and overall I think it's pretty good. After one listen I'd give it a 7/10. It'll probably grow on me, though. _________________Ashes of Mankind <-- death/thrash |

I'm going to be in the minority and say I'm not a fan of Corpsegrinder anymore. He sounds like he's going through the motions on every song, like a death metal robot. I think a lot of their songs would be better as instrumentals without his vocals on top. |

I still haven't gotten into CC like some people have. Tried The Bleeding, that was pretty good. Barnes could actually do decent growls then. Tried Evisceration Plague, was disappointed. They were trying too hard and I wished there were more mid-paced songs. Tried Kill and loved it. Now that was a f*cking death album. Make Them Suffer, Death Walking Terror, The Discipline of Revenge. Haven't even listened to Tomb of the Mutilated yet, but it's in the mail. That's odd about EP, since most people call it Kill pt. 2. I personally think they're completely different. Tomb is probably the best of Barnes, very dark album. I don't know, something seemed to be missing from EP...the production seemed more muffled to me and the songs blurred together quite a bit more than on Kill. Tried Tomb of the Mutilated...wow. Very different from what they sound like now, or even a few years later on The Bleeding. Brutal, gross and a fun listen, maybe because of that. I think I like Fisher better, though. I'll try Vile next to hear how his debut with the band went. Listening to "Demented Agression," it seems pretty good... |

Sounds as if Geddy Lee just railed a line of co*ke. I really do like the bass sound on this album, it's more prominent than it was on Evisceration Plague. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ncy9uUlsjo EDIT: Dude, go from Tomb of the Mutilation to Butchered at Birth! |

They work together so well it's what really makes this album. Plus the studio videos are great Last.fm |

Veracs Metalhead Joined: Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:56 pm Posts: 1903 Location: United States of America | Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:38 pm The Strangulation chair is such a sh*tty song, like a bastardized version of the mid-paced crap off of Evisceration plague. Well, for the most part its a good album, every riff for the most part is distinct even though Paul's drumming still sucks and the album just fades at points. Face it, its just another album from a staple band of death metal, its good but its not as great as Bloodthirst by any stretch of the imagination its a solid 7/10 in my book with killer songs and everything you'd expect. _________________Malignanthrone wrote: Thing is, Suicide Silence actually are more sonically massive than a good 95% of all the death metal bands in the Archives!

The production and some hooks are great, but Fisher goes thru the motions and some songs are way too similar to the past 2-3 albums (consistency in one thing but getting near self plagiarism is another). It's solid, but it brings nothing, nothing new to the table at the point I could interchange the songs with some others from Kill or Evisceration and, production aside, you couldn't say they are from different albums, even different songs. _________________Forestfather Facebook - Folklore black metal.

Cannibal Corpse is a top 40 band now. Let that sink in. This isn't surprising at all. Cannibal Corpse have been making music for over 20 years, and they have a huge following in the underground, and it doesn't take as many physical sales to make it onto the Billboard charts anymore. #1 albums used to be in the 6 and 7 figure region exclusively, whereas now 50,000 sales is top 10. gomorro wrote: Yesterday was the birthday of school pal and I met the chick of my sigh (I've talked about here before, the she-wolf I use to be inlove with)...
