5.0 out of 5 stars The guy below-- a typical outsider to extreme metal, May 11, 2000

By	Krudmonk (San Jose: Home of Hating Dallas) - See all my reviews

This album is brutally awesome. The vox are sick (both sets, Steer and Walker) and the riffs absolutely rule. Thaty are very interesting and not at all monotonous. This album also has pretty good atmosphere at some times-- odd for being grindcore (though this was early grind).

5.0 out of 5 stars Carcass masterpiece of ear-splitting noise, November 13, 1998

By A Customer

There are very few bands that can can create the unified chaos and fury that Carcass can. "Symphonies of Sickness" creates such precise melodies and frantic beats it is impossible to stray from. The lead singer has a voice that rivals Barry White in it's baritone and Luciano Pavarotti in it's distinct flamboyance.This is one hell of a record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sympathy for Sickness, May 30, 2001

By	Patrick Stott (Rolleston, Canterbury, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

If you were a latecomer to Carcass, and think Heartwork was their crowning glory, then steer well clear of this. It will rip your face off, semi-digest and regurgitate the pieces, and then reassemble them in an unrecognisable mess. And a mess this is, on the first listen. However, you will be drawn back to this album again and again out of sheer morbid curiosity, similar to rubbernecking at a serious motor accident. Later listens show beneath the white noise, Carcass created some incredibly catchy riffs. The gargled vocals are sublime- instantly recognisable and incoherent at the same time. And the lyrics? They are not for the weak stomached, as the graphic and detailed descriptions of all things sick and depraved, and downright unspeakable will have you wretching. A symphony of sickness, pure and simple.
