Title: Sellout? I think not..........
Review: It's always amused me that so many people label this as Carcass's "sell-out" album. So what is wrong with having a solid production effort, and providing a more melodic approach to what at the end of the day is still an extremely hard-hitting and mind-numbing sound? Make no mistake, this is still Carcass in all their glory, but that is what sets them apart from so many of their contemporaries in the genre; an ability to adapt, develop and ultimately to not take themselves too seriously."Heartwork" sees the band drop the medical dictionary fixated lyrics, but the music is still as heavy as it ever was. Bill Steer's guitar work in particular on this album is peerless. From the musicianship on display on this album, right down to the HR Giger cover art work, this is a band at the height of their powers, and the finished product is certainly one to be savoured if you like your music hard and uncompromising. An absolute must!
