Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague (2009)

Evisceration Plague, the most recent effort from influential Brutal Death Metal stalwarts Cannibal Corpse, is exactly what one would expect from the band:  brutal riffs, speedy blast beats, and, of course, great growls from George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher.  There is also great guitar work from Pat O'Brian and Rob Barret and bass work from Alex Webster, although his basslines are often lost in the mix.  Besides the low bass mix, Eric Rutan produced the album quite well and sounds better than their previous album, Kill.  In fact, the album is just as strong -- if not stronger -- than Kill, and it grabs your throat and holds you to the very end.  Cannibal Corpse has succeeded in releasing another stellar album that fans of the band will love as another true Cannibal Corpse record.

Listen to: "Scalding Hail," "Carnivorous Swarm," "Evisceration Plague,"Skewered from Ear to Eye"

Meh: "A Cauldron of Hate"

Odd timing

We decided to start this project up a couple of days ago, right at a point were a bunch of albums i anticipated have already been released. which puts me in a akward spot in terms of getting the ball rolling.

Since there is absolutely no need for another Animal Collective review, i figure it couldn't hurt to write a couple short reviews of albums i enjoy - but were bliped over by most of the world - from last year. they are in no particular order.

(well its only one review, i might post more later)

"Moody Motercycle" by Human Highway

"Moody Motercycle" is one of two solo project releases by the frontman for Islands last year. the other "Reafer" by reafer was a concept album that had its high and low points. Moody motercycle is, in my mind, the far superior of the two solo releases. Althought, as with most of the work by Nicholas Thorburn it can come of as  a tad "pretentious" as one my friend damned it.

On Secound thought it might not be a great idea to say the bad things about the album first. The positive of the album can be sumed up into a nutshell, albeit a large nut shell. Many, in fact probably half the tracks, are catchy and interesting. The song draw you in almost imediatly: The songs also don't feeling like forumlaic pop-song and the riffs dont sound recycled or generic. "Moody Motercycle",  is another in a long vein of "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone" the first album of Mr. Thornburn's. Dont get me worng, it show a real change from his origonal work- bu its unmistakably his. Mr. Thorburn has a real obsession with the sea in his lyrics - i think every CD he composed that i own has multiple auquatic tracks. Basicaly, what this review is trying to say is give "Moody Motercycle" a listen if you liked anything by Islands or The Unicorns.
