Negative Positive
Title: overrated
Review: I've seen a lot of people hail this one as a classic death metal record. Maybe I just don't get it. It far from [stinks] but it just isn't that heavy.Here's my reasoning: The vocalist is weak for a death metal singer and there's some kind of echo effect on the voice. The guitar riffs are fast sure, but they just don't have really heavy hooks. The song writing is mediocre, nothing really catchy. The drums are fast but monotonous. In fact, the whole record just kind of fades into a montone blur - not very heavy at all.Bottomline - average disk. Nothing spectacular. Good death metal records I can recommend from the same time period are: Death - Leprosy, Entombed - Clandestine, Sepultura - Beneath the Remains, Pestilence - Consuming Impulse.
