The Official Cannibal Corpse Thread

Early hours, open road,
Family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun,
Their encounter with gore has just begun
A homicidal fool not knowing left from right,
Now has the family in his sight
 
they receive a lot more flack than they should. the better, classic material are the ones with Barnes, regardless of what he would later become.
 
Um, you just said fuck Barnes, yet you say their best album is one that has Barnes as the vocalist.

And that album is awesome. Meat Hook Sodomy is a badass song.

So...just because I think it's there best means I like Barnes...I don't listen for the vocals, I listen for the music. you know the instruments.
 
Overrated.
There are approximately 4823 Death Metal bands that are more enjoyable than Cannibal Corpse. Not bad, but pretty much the definition of "nothing to write home about."
No band deserves their own thread, that's why we have specific genre threads... discuss them there... though I don't think anyone will care.
That said, Barnes is better than Corpsegrinder.

I agree with everything written here
 
they are hardly my favorite dm band, in fact i cant remember the last time i listened to them. but who exactly rates them so highly? all i ever see are people bashing the band. granted, every band has its diehards, but as far as UM goes, CC is never mentioned in the "Best DM Albums" type threads. so again, how exactly is this band overrated?
 
Listened to the new one on my way home, it was pretty meh. First 5 songs I basically just skipped cause they bored me. 6 and 7 were decent, thats as far as I got.
 
I like Cannibal Corpse, Chris Barnes is their best vocalist and so is the material when he was on vocals, but Cannibal Corpse still makes good music today, I will get Evisceration Plague soon.

They're rated highly in general. They're probably the most known Death Metal band.
They're overrated in the same way Lamb of God is overrated... Yeah, no one on here likes them, but the general populous favors them over acts more deserving of attention.
 
I see hip-looking kids with Cannibal Corpse shirts all the time and I automatically assume that they're faggots. :)
