I haven't seen this mentioned much on here. I've given it a few listens this week and I think it's class. The new Obituary seemed to get a lot more interest than this but I think Chaos Horrific is every bit as good. Hopefully a European tour with an Irish date is on the cards.
Gave it a listen the other day, it's solid, probably slightly above their last two, but I don't see myself ever going back to it.
I havent really given a CC album a proper spin since Kill,this is pretty good though.
Enjoyed the few listens I've had of it.
Yeah, slight preference for it over the last one, there's probably a bit of complacency about a new C.C. insofar as they're so damn good (and consistent) at what they do that they can be taken for granted. This continued art theme is doing absolutely nothing for me though , talk about marketing to the mall.
The artwork is cat. Last one was shocking as well, and not in the way they may have intended.
I didn't realise it was still Vincent Locke doing their covers, the difference between the early and the recent ones is huge. The early ones were genuinely unsettling, had a unique style whereas the 'new' ones are so much more cartoony and throwaway.
It's the same guy? Wow.
I didn't know that meself, if it is the same dude maybe he should try going back to the old school ways and being less digital, cus its all the same now and just doesn't feel cool or shocking in any way, even though I guess it was zombie shit on the early albums too it has character & charm. Kinda the same with the new music in ways but its fucking solid enough like I can't deny its worth a few listens and maybe a buy for the collection if I'm fucked.
I dunno if its just me but I feel sometimes I Would be shocked if the drummer tried something new though? He is solid like and always does the job enough; but the dude is kind of like the death metal Lars a bit,no?
I have to say though there's one CORPSE song a few albums back, from TORTURE, I think is savage, called Scourge of Iron, so fucking catchy man, I keep goin back to it! 8)
Love's artwork, once so dark, unique and sinister is now completely crap.
I find the production on this new one really oppressive or something, there's no space for it to breathe at parts nearly, which shouldn't be the case for this type of DM I don't think.
I've wasn't a big CC fan in my formative listening days, but the last few years I've actually spent some time with the albums. Not really listened the post 2000s stuff as much, just dipping in here and there, which I must, but it's so solid across the board. Was on a big Gallery kick this summer.
It's commendable how they've managed to keep a standard and a fanbase rabid for as long as they have even if it's not always my cup of tea. 16 studio albums and people are raving about this one.
Yeah the change in Locke's digital approach is unreal, as evidenced by this direct comparison

;D ;D ;D
Was just having a flick through all the album art. Reckon it was after Kill that Locke's artwork started going downhill
Always thought the Kill cover itself was pretty good despite being very minimal, certainly stands out amongst the rest at least
Butchered at birth is one of the greatest album covers and it's a brilliant album .
I can't imagine who would buy a new CC album , surely even the most die hard fan has grown tired of them .
Don't like corpsegrinder at all
The above has put me of it anyway!
Artwork is terrible!
Did anyone buy the vinyl version of the new album? I was reading a few days ago that none of the European pressings come with lyrics.
Certainly the CD didn't
Stuck it on earlier, didn't get too far into it before being interrupted but the first track's decent anyway, quite punky I thought.

I picked up the last album on the cheap and there is no lyric page in the vinyl which is a tad annoying.

No lyrics with the cd version either?

I saw it being mentioned alright that this same thing happened with the last LP as well. I don't understand this shite who wants an LP without lyrics especially when other versions come with them. At the very least Metal Blade or whoever could be up front about it. If I hadn't of noticed this about the new album and ordered it, then it shows up with no lyrics I would have been pissed.
I have held off getting the last album since I found out they did a version with an uncensored cover. No way am I buying that censored cover when the other version exists and the uncensored version comes with a big booklet full of lyrics. Out of 10 or 15 different versions of VU that have been pressed only 2 have uncensored art. I really don't understand this retarded behaviour. Even that label in Hong Kong that has done the deluxe versions of the earlier albums on vinyl did VU with the censored cover.
This does not compute!
It's CC... they HAVE to have a lyrics sheet.
Nope, a different illustration for every track but no lyrics. In fairness Corpsegrinder does a great job with his enunciation so you can get most of it.
I agree with all the artwork comments from earlier on in the chat but picked this up at the weekend, when you fold the digipack out it is a bit better, the back cover recalls Eaten Back to life, obviously not as over the top or graphic but the colours etc recall that record and there's a bit more detail.
The album itself surprised me, there's a few tunes on it!

that is annoying. Kind of farcical really, like if Dethklok censored themselves ha ha ha. I have a censored version of gallery on cd. Would prefer the proper artwork. I mean the band are renowned for the graphic art, why not just keep it. Who are they trying to save by censorship? The band name says it all. You know what you're getting with it.
Yeah but what about the hypothetical disabled trans midgets who might accidentally buy a Cannibal Corpse CD and get triggered. Think man, think!
