5.0 out of 5 stars Killer, October 7, 2004

This review is from: And Then You'll Beg (Audio CD)

Like a demented funhouse ride constantly in danger of careening off the tracks, And Then You'll Beg is an orchestration of insanity. It's pure tight experimental death metal weirdness, a landmark in the genre. Cryptopsy really rises above their own reputation on this one, formidable reputation though it is. It's tight but raw and noisy, retaining spontaneity through the most technincal changes; while the parts may seem strung together randomly, deeper analysis reveals a mockingly eclectic flow. The vocals remind me of earlier Kataklysm - many have mourned the loss of Lord Worm, but DiSalvo's psychotic, ultra-scary ranting fits this album perfectly. Flo's weird swinging beats and insane blasts tie together the lurching rhythms and fluttering, atonal leads, and when he drops into a groove the whole thing swirls down into its vortex. This is one of those rare masterpieces of death metal that doesn't come around often, an album you can listen to until you've got the whole thing memorized but somehow you never get tired of hearing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sludge hammer to your head retardedly amazing!, August 24, 2004

This review is from: And Then You'll Beg (Audio CD)

This album is a death metal ground breaker. Anyone who says less either has no idea what they are talking about in music, or is retarded. Being a drummer/percussionist myself, i have studied music for over 7 years, and i can only stand in awe of these musicians. Flo is phanominal, and is the best drummer in the business. Eric is probably the best bassist i've ever heard to, with licks so complicated they confuse the most skilled bass teachers around. John is also one of the best guitarists ever, with some of the most crushing riffs and the most amazing solos in metal history. The singer, Mike D is brilliant with a voice of brutality and skillful range. If you are a fan and havent heard Lord Worm is returing to the band on the next album. Although mike D is amazing I am very glad for this, as i am a big fan of lord worm.
Anyway, your just plain stupid if you don't buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEATHMETAL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, July 31, 2001

This review is from: And Then You'll Beg (Audio CD)

Lets be honest this is as good as it gets.Forget the [bad] bands like THE "MODERN"Metallica,Slipknot,Mortician and so on...This is definitely the best death metal album I have heard. I first got Blasphemy Made Flesh and it was pretty decent, but this is extraordinary.This guys know what they are doing. They are going beyond the concept of simple riffs by creating true polyphonic compositions.This sounds like Bach's music in a deathmetal version.Just listen to the guitars interacting with the bass in a quasi-contrapuntal manner. The vocals???Forget the vocals!!!!the music in this cd stands on its own.I think this guys should do some album with no vocals, its not that I don't like them;they are very good but i just cant get enough of the music.Bass and Guitar lines :amazing and hyper technical,Guitar Solos: superb.With some tracks in other metal cds you kind of get bored after a while because they make very few tempo changes and its just fast,fast and fast, but Cryptopsy handles the tempo changes in a great way. Some of the songs are 5 or 6 min long and they feel like 1 min because they keep your attention at all times instead of making you dizzy with the same tempo and riff going over and over. I'm a music major so I know the difference between [bad] commercial music and REAL music.Many famous bands don't even get close to these guys.This band should be a kind of role model for starting ones.Cryptopsy shows that a band can be extremely brutal,technical and musical at the same time. You think Morbid Angel or Suffocation are the most technical bands???Well listen to this cd and you'll think it twice.WARNING:THIS CD IS FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE HIGH QUALITY METAL IF YOU WANT SOMETHING ORDINARY LOOK FOR SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU WANT THE BEST YOU FOUND IT.
