5.0 out of 5 stars The "Speak English or Die" of 2001!, March 26, 2001

By	W. Perry Aggers (Avon Lake, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was fortunate enough to pick up one of the first thousand printed of this CD, and it has been a much-played mainstay in my collection ever since. "Dahmer" is the kind of cult album that achieves popularity by word of mouth, much like "Speak English or Die" did in the mid to late eighties. It's not so much "Dahmer's" subject matter or freshness of riffs being the key to it's greatness, but rather the catchiness and tongue-in-cheek humor of the songs that makes it a must-buy.

Plus these guys pretty much know what they're talking about in the way of Dahmer. Corporate Death (guitarist) sat in on Dahmer's trial and chronicles events based on the testimonies of Dahmer and others in the lyrics of the songs; his childhood, how he lured men in by drugging their drinks, the "Temple of Bones" he wanted to create from his victims, etc. Makes for an interesting record, as well as the stellar production of the record, which Macabre spent a great deal on. Buy it and get a slice of the sordid life of one Jeffrey Dahmer.

5.0 out of 5 stars macabre is better than everyone, March 20, 2002

By	"dug86" (chichester, nh United States) - See all my reviews

do not hesitate reader: BUY THIS ALBUM!

If you are into metal at all you need this recording. If you have never heard MACABRE before you may scoff at the vocals but the eloquence of the music far outshines what is at first listen some of the goofiest sounding vocals.

The first time I heard macabre I was blown away that they were only a three piece and as three they are so tight it sounds like one consciousness. This is stripped down raw music clean and crisp like fresh sheets.

I think I've owned this cd for a year now and it hasn't wandered too far from the cd player ever. always bludgeoning unsuspecting clients with undeniable groove and sick lyrics about a disturbing fellow doing some very wrong things.

Macabre makes their metal catchy without overworking the hook.

This is destined to be an all time great among metal albums...

4.0 out of 5 stars Just DO the Dahmer, October 7, 2005

By	joey fatone "joey fatone" (iraq) - See all my reviews

I would like to give the album a 5 but there seem to be a couple filler tracks on it. Other than that its a great album, I would recommened it to any fan of thrash/death/speed metal with a sense of humor. The one thing you should know before buying is the vocals take a little getting used so don't take them seriously when you first here them, and don't take the album lyrics seriously either to me they're basically the lighter side to Jeffreys life.
