4.0 out of 5 stars pollished? yes, but still corrosive!, March 3, 2005

This review is from: Blind (Audio CD)

c.o.c. is one of the few hardcore bands that didn't crossover in the 80s but after 89s barley listenable "technocricy" they had to do somthing ."blind" is one of my favorite c.o.c. albums .it was the tinkering w/ what would become their sound today.karl agell gets a bad rap for his lean toward a mainstream vocal style ,but its no more mainstream than what phil from pantera & kyle from exhorder were doing at the time.i personally love it.it fits the music.the entire cd jams from beggining to end but i must say the highlights are tacks 9 "vote w/ a bullet" (pepper keenan on lead vox) & 10 "great purification" an anthem w/ some trance elements. i highly recommend "blind"

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary Rock!!!, May 9, 2001

This review is from: Blind (Audio CD)

To call this album a rock album would almost be an insult. Some people call it punk/hardcore, but to me it will always be metal. And now that I've pigeonholed this CD to death, I'll move on to the music. Corrosion Of Conformity serves up some unforgiving, politically motivated anger with Blind. The guitar tone has a punishing crunch that has been hard to parallel in my mind. With the bass pushing that crunch, this is one heavy listen... I love it! Nothing will guarantee you a speeding ticket quicker than 'Dance Of The Dead' or 'Mine Are The Eyes Of God'. 'Vote With A Bullet' spells out COC's political views very clearly, and also manages to wrap it up in one awesome tune! Even the slowest song on the CD, 'Echoes In The Well', manages to churn out some dark and brooding overtones. Every single song on here is heavy and uncompromising. The lyrics are very poignant and intelligent. Amidst so many bands who, lately like to pose as revolutionary, Corrosion Of Conformity take a shot at 'The Man' that is, without dispute, the most real and profound yet. A lot of bands have come and gone, taking some inspiration from Corrosion Of Conformity, yet these guys continue to go on (granted under a different style). This CD represents the high point of their songwriting and musical career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy, trudging COC - good stuff!, April 24, 1999

This is a transition album for COC. It's nothing like their previous work and merely a sign for things to come. Dark chugging riffs with their old vocalist Karl Agell. If you can get past Karl's voice, then you've got an awesome metal album. Awesome opening instrumental stuff.
