5.0 out of 5 stars FAST AND HEAVY, the way I love it, June 10, 2004

This is arguably my favorite Napalm Death so far, although I only got four of their albums, so I'm really looking forward to get some more. This album really kicks some serious ass, and will please any fan of death metal, grindcore, and even thrash metal fans like myself. Every song on here just kicks your ass so hard, it just sends you in a wiplash. Barney Greenway gives out one of his best vocal performances on here, just listen to him on the opening track Taste The Poison, talk about insane. Jesse Pintado and Mitch Harris's twin guitar riffs just rips right through your body like a chainsaw. Bassist Shane Embury adds a different sound to his bass which is a very good thing. Danny Herrera's heart pounding double bass drum blasts just hit you like a ton of bricks, man he is just sick. Great album, a must have for all Napalm Death fans. ND 4ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Napalm Death are back!, June 21, 2002

And this time they are beyond pxssed! "Enemies Of The Music Business" sees the return to their glory days of "Utopia Banished" and "Fear, Emptiness, Despair" and it's great to hear a band as old as these guys are and still carry the originality and innovative treads that Napalm Death first set-off all the way back in 1987 with their classic "Scum" album. Nothing to expect here but inhuman blast beats, grinding Death Metal riffs, hardcore-influenced lyrics, and growling hellious vocals...just the way us Napalm Death fans like, and Napalm Death prefer as well. The opening blast beats of "Taste The Poison" to the lasting bludgeoning hardcore riffs of "Fracture In The Equation" let's everyone know that Barney, Jesse, Shane, Mitch, and Danny have put up with a lot of shxt for the past few years. And boy do they let that anger, fury, and agression out. Barney's vocals sounds like he's going to take an Uzi and maul-down an entire parking lot full of innocent by-staders. Jesse and Mitch's guitar are a chansaw ripping through your spinal cord. Shane Embury's incredible hooks and well-balanced bass offers a very new up-dated sound. Danny Herrera's drumming...what can I say? His drumming gets better and better every album Napalm Death puts out. Some parts are heavier then others, and in some parts you think to yourself "Is Danny Herrera capable of drumming that damn fast without getting lock-up???"...Speaking of which, Lock-Up is a brand new killer band that includes Jesse and Shane as well as Thomas Lindberg(The Crown, At The Gates) and vulcano drum-god Nick Barker(Dimmu Borgir)...I highly reccommed every and anybody to go out and purchase "Hate Breeds Suffering". Overall best songs:
- Taste The Poison
- Constitutional Hell
- Vermin
- Can't Play Won't Play
- Cure For The Common Complaint
- Nessecary Evil
- (and my personal favorite) C.S.(Conservative Shxthead)Part II

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of music as we know it..., September 6, 2002

By 

Phillip (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enemy of the Music Business (Audio CD)

Oh, my. This album has been hard to find in North Carolina, so being a Napalm Death fan I finally had to order it. I didn't expect to hear what I heard. Brutal beyond belief, I had wondered if they would ever make music this heavy again. The last few albums they made have been good, but I didn't expect them to make an album of this magnitude. The vocals are simply inhuman. There is not one bad song on the entire album and it will kick your teeth in from start to finish. For all those people who think Slipknot and Korn are heavy bands, you have not heard this. This album will make your ears bleed. Turn the volume all the way open and you will truely know that this is the end of music as we know it. Simply brutal.
