5.0 out of 5 stars HEAVY AND TRULY RIPPING METAL!, February 21, 2000

Some may think I'm silly for giving this song five stars, but I have my reasons: I've never heard anyone do such a remarkable impression of what it would sound like if Cookie Monster were in the music-making business, and I have to applaud Chris Barnes for being able to growl so low! I always thought Max from Sepultura was a growler - was I wrong! And I have to applaud the band for the powerful, fast, crunching rhythms. If you are a true metal fan as well as musician, you will like this song. I also have to give it another star because it doesn't screw the world up, as a fellow reviewer said, as does other music that promotes murder, drugs and gangs. Anyone who can't appreciate this band's musicianship and ability to create such diverse rhythms, such as a non-musician or anti-metal type, has no business reviewing this song, or treading the grounds of metal music. Honestly you have to be a musician as well as metal fan to understand why I've rated this song so well. Keep up the good work Cannibal Corpse! Long live metal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Words don't do justice, August 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hammer Smashed Face (Audio CD)

Every once in far too long, the cosmos is blessed by the introduction of a group of musicians so Earthshatteringly brilliant, that all the angels in Heaven lay down their harps, to marvel that even god could create something so beautiful. This CD captures the essence of everything that is right. Purer than a mountain spring, and more beautiful than the morning dew on the petals of a crimson rose.
This band has the ability to convey the most complicated and nameless of emotions. From the smallest child to the pope himself, everyone can relate to these eloquent lyrics. The complex melodies and harmonies are matched only by Cradle of Filth. This is Cannibal Corpse at their finest hour. If I could only have one CD, it would be this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Once you get passed the vocals, it's awesome, October 2, 2005

The first time I heard Cannibal Corpse, I immediately dismissed the band 'cause of the horrible vocals. I kept listening, mostly for comedic value, and it slowly grew on me. The guitar as we can all mostly agree on is fantastic, and the vocals are just something you gotta get used to. All three songs on this EP are awesome pieces of art. Just listen with an open mind.
