Best Carcass Album

[mark wj]

symphonies...
when I first heard it it was almost too chaotic to grasp, now the sheer violence of the production satisfies with every listen.
A word also for Reek..., when I first listened to that on vinyl, through headphones, reading the lyrics and absorbing the cover art I did start feeling sick, some band eh?

 

[wullief]

Went for heartwork i think it is pretty darn good

 

[remer]

Symphonies.....

 

[Stormwatch]

Necroticism, then Heartwork. Heartwork is probably better but I have a soft spot for Necroticism as it helped get me into more...extreme metal.

 

[The Nomad]

It's a tossup between Necrot & Heartwork for me... but I went with Necrot. Surprising, considering that Heartwork (along with Morbid Angel's Covenant) got me into death metal in the first place...

[Niklas]

i'm supprised so little people have voted for swansong, i didnt but... still supprised

 

[Gajita]

whichever carcass album im listning to, that one is my favourite...so at the moment, Reek has the spotlight...i love it! i love everything down to the diabolical production

 

[carcass]

well, obviously "reek" can't count because of the crappy production, and any Slipknot CD is heavier than "Swansong"...

 

[The Serpent King]

Necroticism Descanting the Insalubrious

 

[carcass]

that could have been funny, except for the fact that you can't spell "masturbate" correctly...

Necroticism. I have been listening to that album almost constantly recently....

 

[StevenK]

im suprised that heartwork got more votes than swansong. swansong is much better

 

[StevenK]

i heard a rumour about a new carcass album last week. i take it's just rumour.

 

[DeepBlueAndViolet]

It took me a good 15 minutes, but i eventually came up with necroticism, i think the vocals are mental and possibly the best delivery by Jeff. it is true that swansong wasnt the greatest ending for such a classic band, but i still regard it as a great album, there are some killer riffs on it, plus it more....i dunno...natural? like bill came up with a riff, the rest added something and then someone hit record. it sounds very fluid. it wouldve been a great idea to record R.O.P again, pyosisifiefs sounded deadly on "Wake up....". I just found choice cuts here in Ireland, so i'm busy spreading the foul stench of Carcass all over here....

 

[Evil_Frons]

SYMPHONIES all the way... I hate Micheal Amott's way of playin' guitar, he's too melodic and got that swedish touch I don't like in a Carcass song.

 

[Scurvy]

Symphonies of Sickness because it's just so brutally raw. It was also the first Carcass record I bought and I'd never heard such disgusting music (in a good way) before that. Necroticism is close behind. Heartwork and Swansong are both good albums but they lacked what seemed like musical gore (not just lyrical). As for Reek..., well, the production takes away too much of the effect the songs should have had.

 

[Wildhoney]

I'm quite surprised too that "Heartwork" got more votes than "Necroticism".
Definitely "Necroticism - Descanting the Insalobrious" - that was the beginning of my end since the day it was released.

 

[GrimJim]

I see I'm in the minority by thinking the beautifully grotesque naivete of "Reek Of Putrefaction" is simply amazing... I'm glad the band progressed, because no one wants to listen to the same record over and over, and if I do, I put on "Reek..", lol...

"It's fun being a pathologist, slicing up corpses, especially when they've just been exhumed!!"

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

My vote is for Necroticism... Symphonies of Sickness blew me away when I first heard it, but it wasn't until Necroticism that I really connected fully with them. That album is one of my favorite metal albums of all time, period. A tremendous musical influence on me.

 

[NvmbrsDoom5]

Oh, and to Wildhoney, a HUGE thumbs up to you for that Pyogenesis avatar!! "Twinaleblood" is one of my favorite albums ever.
