Initial pressings of NEUROTICISM: DESCANTING THE INSALUBRIOUS are packaged in a limited edition slipcase with an album artwork poster.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Carcass is one of the few bands that could make Megadeath sound like the Beach Boys by comparison. Growling, brutal, nihilistic, and still possessed of a subtle sense of sophistication somehow, Carcass continues to refine their fusion of grindcore and black metal. Unlike some of their contemporaries, they demonstrate true musicianship to go along with all the seething rancor--note guitarist Bill Steer's ornate (though still shredding) solos. Not for the whole family, NECROTICISM will nonetheless stimulate those who crave sounds both volatile and menacing.
As they'd done on their last album, Symphonies of Sickness (1989), Carcass continue to develop and expand their music on Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious. They'd begun as a grindcore band -- in fact, one of the first and certainly one of the most influential -- as showcased on their debut album, Reek of Putrefaction (1988). Then came Symphonies, where they stretched out the grindcore of Reek: longer song lengths, more innersong developments, further levels of musical complexity, better production, and so on. This trajectory continues on Necroticism as Carcass break free of grindcore's stylistic limits, crafting expansive songs that ever develop and hark back musically to early-'90s thrash (à la Megadeth circa Rust in Peace [1990] particularly). Necroticism, however, is a death metal album through and through, make no mistake. It may lean toward thrash as much as it does grindcore, but it's still awfully damn ferocious. Jeff Walker spews out his septic vocals in a manner sure to send children and grandparents fleeing, and his lyrics are just as medically jargonistic as ever, though a bit toned down in terms of shock value. Moreover, the band adds a second guitarist, Michael Amott, who frees up Bill Steer to solo more often and play more elaborately, which makes Necroticism very much a guitar album, more so than anything Carcass had recorded to date, and which elevates Steer to center stage, where he showcases precisely how much he'd grown as a musician since his days in Napalm Death. Necroticism ultimately is the crossroad between Carcass' seminal grindcore (i.e., Reek, Symphonies) and their latter-day, more straightforward death metal (Heartwork [1994], Swansong [1996]). As such, it's one of their most interesting albums, if not one of their best, reflecting their past while foreshadowing their future. Songs like "Incarnated Solvent Abuse," one of the album's highlights, illustrate this very well. Though often overlooked in favor of what came before and what came after, Necroticism is nonetheless one of the standout death metal albums of the early '90s. Produced by Colin Richardson, it sounds phenomenal, and the musicianship here is a huge stride forward for the band, especially that of Steer. [When Earache reissued Necroticism, the label appended the Tools of the Trade EP as bonus tracks. The three-song EP was recorded around the same time and thus fits in rather well with the songs of Necroticism, not only in terms of sound but also style. The EP's title track is especially noteworthy and a nice addition.] ~ Jason Birchmeier

5 stars In a word....
Classic. this record got me started on Death Metal, and while my facsination with said genre has subsided there is no doubt that this record is amazing. if you are looking for great arrangement, solos, riffs and drumming, look no futher, Ken Owen is my favoite drummer, while he is no Nick Barker his beats are perfect for what the music is. buy this album. you get the remastered version & you get three track from the Tools of the Trade EP....

Guys, if you don't have this cd, buy it as fast as you can, because it is is one of the greatest metal albums of all times. Other Carcass cds are really amazing too, especially Heartwork, but this one is simply a miracle!

5 stars by far their best album
and by such a huge margin, that their other works are poor by such a great standard. this is the first album of theirs i heard, and i was mortified (and not in a good way) by the rubbish that was their first, and left rather cool by their third. swansong (the 4th and final) wasnt too bad, but nothing compares to necroticism...

Type O Negative: Peter Steele, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver, Johnny Kelly.

New York City goth rockers Type O Negative have always been a scary proposition. Though the band, led by bassist singer Pete Steele, often uses irony and humor to poke fun at the goth genre, to the casual ear (i.e., parents) Type O sounds like the kind of group who retires to a torture cave and sacrifices lambs after its set is over. That perception is not helped any by Steele's vampire vocals and bent for the morbid, even if he can be tongue-in-cheek at times. The Least Worst Of, aside from being a great title, is a career retrospective that includes favorites handpicked by the band, as well as a few new tracks to boot. The group's one brush with the charts, "Black No. 1," is included, but so are obscure tracks such as "Hey Pete," a death metal remake of Hendrix's "Hey Joe" that sees the narrator employing an axe to exact revenge on his cheating girl. And the group's penchant for offbeat covers (they once did Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze") is also carried on with an industrial version of Neil Young's "Cinammon Girl," a track that appeared on October Rust, the group's 1996 bid for a chart success that never quite materialized. New tracks such as "It's Never Enough" find the group experimenting with upbeat tempos and more ...
