And you lost any credibility long ago for thinking that Reign in Blood and Hell Awaits are boring, so your retort has not effect on me.Ex-cally-boo said:Haha, you have lost any and all validity ever for thinking that Cannibal Corpse are anywhere NEAR excellent.
Kill is excellent though it gets a little... well it lags towards the end a bit. Open your ears dude... Tomb of the Mutilated, Vile and The Bleeding are fucking monster riff fests.Ex-cally-boo said:Kill is the closest they have come to being good, and that was still mediocre.
Disliking a classic band is not fine. And CC aren't shitty aside from the obvious absurdity of their image and lyrical content. It's great death metal.Ex-cally-boo said:Disliking a classic band is fine. Liking a shitty one isn't.
Well honestly I don't like the first album, but the second was good and the third and fourth are great.zim18 said:i think the old CC is horrible with the new being quite good
I'm not a purist. Of course you can still like metal and dislike old Slayer. I wasn't arguing that. But to say that some of metal's greatest albums are boring shows a lack of discernment on your behalf and hence I have to take your criticism of CC with a grain of salt.Ex-cally-boo said:Disliking a classic band is all fine and well, just because I'm not a faggot purist cunt doesn't mean I'm any less of a metal fan than anyone else.
And they are FAR from being even good.
I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it won't suck balls like the last one.HardSide said:!T.O.O.H! - Rad A Trest - released in 2005. the band is currently split up.

Why isn't CC good?
Bad musicians? Nope.
Bad vocalist? Nope.
Bad lyrics? Well yes... but who cares?
Bad riffs? Far from it. They have some of the most memorable riffs in the genre.
If you don't dig em cool... whatever. But they are hardly a shitty band.

Krigloch the Furry-ass said:Cannibal Corpse are good. shut the hell up!
Yeah Krig put that bitch in his place! 
Ex-cally-boo said:They are not good, because their music is two things:
Generic.
Overly samey.
The musicians are decent, their bassist is good. Corpsegrinder sucks, at least in CC. He fucking ruled in Monstrosity. Lyrics, I couldn't give two shits about. Riffs ... memorable they are not.
A lack of discernment? How about ... different taste in metal/music in general?
Excellent point.Amarantus said:Lies, all lies!
edit: Your last comment kind of disturbed me. Why did you just waste all that time and effort arguing with Thoth when you just ended up saying "well we have different tastes so take that!" Just doesn't make sense.
