 Trying To Even Things Out December 27, 2002

I'd recommend the remaster of Eaten Back To Life over this cd, but I'd still give this cd about 4 stars. It gets a bit repetitive here and there, but it's a very good cd overall. The remastering helped considerably. The bass is still buried under everything else (which is unfortunate, because Alex is the best thing this band ever had), but the guitar sound is much improved. I'm giving it 5 stars to help even it out a bit, thanks to a couple of ignorant twits that didn't justify their poor reviews. I'd recommend the remaster of Eaten Back To Life over this cd.

At first, I didn't like this album much, but then I actually listened to it a bit more. Gutted(The Song) inspired me to buy it. The drumming absolutely tears up anything CC have produced after this album(Haven't heard EBTL), brutal. I'd say this album lives up to Tomb Of The Mutilated, or at least pretty close. The vocals aren't as sick but the musicianship is fantastic. Basically, if you like CC, you'll like this album, especially the psychotic double bass pedal blasting :) The remaster features a video which I have yet to make function on both of the newer remasteres, and a live song(Covered With Sores) with vocals by Corpsegrinder.
Butchered At Birth 2: Remastered Version September 9, 2005

This is another important edition to my Cannibal Corpse collection. I bought it some time in the fall of 2002 along with the remastered versions of Eaten Back To Life and Tomb Of The Mutilated. Like all Cannibal Corpse releases, I had to have it.
Now before my review, I need to say some things that are very important. Those things have already been mentioned on the middle pharagraph for my review for the original version of this album. For those who want to read it, just go to my review for the original version and you will find it. The version that I'm reviewing now is the remastered version.
Now for my review. I have already reviewed the original version. So for those who have read the review, you already know what I think about this album. This version however is a remastered version and is not that different from the original. Some things have stayed the same but some have been changed or enhanced but like I said on my review for the remastered version of Eaten Back To Life, nothing Chris Barnes has been taken out but here are some of the changes.
1. The Artwork And Layout - The cover is pretty much the same but enhanced. It features the George Fisher era albums logo. The layout, inner sleave and dialog have also have been enhanced. There is also a short commentary by Paul Mazurkiewicz about the album. So those are pretty much some of the changes as far as the album cover and sleave are concerned but the gruesome stories of Boris Gilles De Rais and Albert Fish are still there and like I said before, no trace of Chris Barnes' influence has been removed.
2. The Music - The music is pretty much the same as the original and the sound and production of the album has not changed much. The front of the CD however is enhanced. There is also a bonus track and it is a live version of Covered With Sores which can be played in regular CD audio or CD-ROM for your computer. This live version of the song sounds like something that never made it on Live Cannibalism.
So all in all, this is a very important edition to a true Cannibal Corpse collection. So buy it and get re-butchered.

cannibal corpse has been getting a lot of bad press lately in the underground, i suppose a lot of people are getting bored with them, but i still enjoy their earlier albums. after barns left (to join the fairly weak six feet under) the band lost part of their sickening aura in favor of a more complex approach, but is that why we listen to gory metal? people say the band is single minded and a bit dull, and of course they are, but if they weren't i would never listen to this.
the instrumentation on this album is in the old school style mostly, the druming differs from more recent styles in a way, not being a drummer i'm not sure how to describe it, there is certainly less bass drum work on this record than some of their later output. most of the time both guitars and bass move together in simple crunchy riffs, with some time changes. the vocals are groaned in a very monotone fashion and the whole of the album is very repetative.
now to the lyrics, i know a great number of mothers were upset about this and cannibal corpse's other albums, and you can see why in those wonderfully colorful, wholesome lyrics. lines like "deterioration of grated genitals, dangling from the hooks - obscene feelings deep inside me" show that while the whole ordeal is pretty weird, it is purposly over the top. sometimes i can't decide whether or not it supposed to be entirely funny or just a dry exageration, but either way it can be entertaining. i really have to admit, it is funny to hear people complain about this band; they never claimed to be dream theater.
well i don't listen to this very often, though i am while writing this. my favorite song is without a doubt 'covered with sores.' get this if you enjoy the gorey stuff, but it isn't as good as carcas. for new death metal fans i would recomend the bleeding as their best album as well, as this one does get tedious, but i'd also recomend morbid angel and autopsy first.
