5.0 out of 5 stars Genre Transcending, April 7, 2007

By	Captain Intestinal Trouble "angry man" (New York CIty) - See all my reviews

I no longer listen to metal as much as I used to, but this is one of the few death metal albums that, for me, stands the test of time. It really is the apex of Carcass's career and really, of the genre as well. After Carcass and Obituary reached their peaks in the early 90's (while Cynic and Atheist were pushing the boundaries on the prog end of the spectrum,) there really was nowhere to go but downward into a glut of clone bands.
At the exact midpoint between their nauseatingly fast grindcore material and their more melodic, NWOBHM throwback albums, this one has the best of both world - medical dictionary derived lyrics, vicious vocals, speed and melodic leads - witness the choruses on the opener "Impropagation." Truly a keystone of the sub-genre and a landmark heavy metal album in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my top 5 favorite albums, June 27, 2006

By	Matthew Bidart (Chino, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just dug this one out of my cd case last week. I got this album back when I was in high school. I played the s**t out of this disk. This is an absolute perfect d.m. release. Heartwork was good, and a bit more melodic, but this was their banger! Who would have thought that now 14 years later, I still hold this album up in my top ranks. This release is flawless and timeless in my opinion. This is Carcass at their peak! Pick up the newer version of this release. I hear that the 3 tracks from Tools of the Trade are on it. Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of Grind, May 13, 2007

By	Lars Laursen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The best deathmetal record ever made and probably the best there ever will be. All the songs on Necroticism have character. They are all great complex compositions and have a melodic infrastructure. The songs fit eachothers to make this recording a piece of metal history. I cannot praise this record enough. It never gets uninteresting as new sounds are discovered everytime I listen to it.
