5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. Way ahead of their time., December 11, 1999

By	chugga (Iowa) - See all my reviews

This is not only the very first metal concept album, it is quite possibly the greatest metal album of all time. The album runs together in a way that is just incredible. Staggeringly simple and yet it draws you in. I have to say, I've read a lot of really dumb lyrics, especially in the metal genre, but Barney's lyrics are wonderful, addressing the issues of creating such music without any real audience, all conveyed by the most powerful human voice ever and backed by one of the noisiest, ridiculously detuned great bands of all time. Especially amazing when you consider the fact that this band never made anything good before or after this album. If you're interested in getting to know Napalm Death, this is the only place to look. Everything else, as I've clearly stated, sucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what metal is all about, September 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is well and truly late as this album has been around a long time. Metal is not the same as it once was Harmony Corruption will stand in time as a great example of death metal. If you want a gutsy industrial sound that only the likes of poms such as Napalm and Carcass can manage this is one of the best. With chunky churning riffs, tub thumping from hades and Barney's soothing growls this is a ride worth taking from start to finish. The songs blend in to one album long story rather than just being track 1, track 2 etc in a way which works well and seems to suit this album. Favourites however include Unfit Earth with snarls that sound pleasant and timely, Suffer the Children and The Chains That Bind Us which reaches a crecendo with the line "the chains that bind us grooow strooonger". All in all Napalm's best easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserves a place beside your Reign in Blood CD, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This is the most intense slab of metal to hit the streets since Slayer's "Reign in Blood". A mandatory for any metal fan. If this is the only album you buy this decade, you won't be sorry! This is the only album I know of that can go from killer groove to sonic meltdown and back before the listener can reattach the missing limbs due to uncontrolable moshing frenzy! A must for anybody into thrash/death/black/power/etc. metal. I totally recommend this for all.
