 Sets the bar December 19, 2004

This is the first and best release from those lovable vegan peace-punks; Carcass. In my opinion it is the most intense grindcore album ever made. By the way, early Carcass such as this is not death metal-it's grindcore which makes it more akin to punk, hardcore, and crust. In fact members of Carcass were in some of the pioneering bands that transformed dispunk and crust into grindcore. The apparent relation between grind and death is really an afterthough- a sort of parallel evolution between punk and metal(with some crossover influence of course especially in the late 80's early 90's. The raw lo-fi production just makes this album all that more punk. with this album Carcass set the bar.

This cd is the one which invented the goregrind subgenre.The album artwork sickened me in a way that no other death band has ever done.A truly ferocious metal masterpiece is the only thing that could describe these guys.If you could get past the bad production then you will realize that this is a great album.The songs are fast and in your face brutal.The vocals are just insane and you will find hundreds of bands which try to recreate them.I deeply miss them not being in the scene any longer.Best wishes go out to all the band members and especially to ken owen who is recovering from being ill.GO OUT AND GET THIS YOU SICK FREAKS!!!

Its really too bad that carcass had to clean up and sound metal. The production on this album is perfect. Total harsh brutality.

Scientific disasters and gross things to do with body fluids and parts! Delicious! Right up there with that ultra grindcore death that is Cannibal Corpse and Broken Hope. Apparently there is a fan base for this sludge and fans of this genre eat it up like tic-tacs. I find it real hard to believe this is the same band that put out "Heartwork" and "Swansong". Of course, by that time fans started screaming "sell-out". Blows the mind.
 Great songs + horrible production = a tough call August 1, 2000

While the songs on Carcass' first release are an often brilliant mixture of caffeine-addled grind and death-metal, it's usually difficult to tell because of the horrible, microphone-in-a-trashcan production. I would recommend the far superior and better-produced "Symphonies of Sickness" to new Carcass initiates. I have the original CD release of "Symphonies" that contains "Reek" (Along with the autopsy-collage album cover) and the difference in production between the two is like night and day. A.C. have used a similar-sounding production style on a few of their releases, akin to being stuck under three feet of sludge while the band plays above you. In A.C.'s case it just seems to be a parody. It's a tragedy for Carcass fans that this material was produced so poorly. I'd welcome a remaster with open arms, in this case it just might be a lost cause.
