I love Carcass, I always get this really excited feeling when I listen to them, and it's not like I discovered Carcass just yesterday, its a good 15 years ago.  I just really rate Carcass, what are your guys thoughts?

I've never heard Carcass, I really should though. Any recommendation for what album to start with?

Shocked

Man you need to get on that Tongue.  Start with Heartwork I suppose but if you are a fan of early Death/Grind then start with Symphonies of Sickness or Reek of Putrefaction.

Just be aware their first few albums/ep's have pretty rough production but don't let that put you off :)

I normally start with a band from the first album, I love seeing how they progress after each album.

^I also enjoy hearing a band progress from album to album, and I've been enjoying Grind recently so I think I'll start with their first album. Thumbs Up

So far I like it, like you said the debut has a pretty bad production but it doesn't actually bother me too much. The debut so far is kind of a hit and miss, some songs are stronger then others. The opening first few are all awesome. I suspect I'll enjoy the later albums more though. Thumbs Up

They only get better as they go on.   I have no issues with the production either, adds to the atmosphere.

My personal favorite is Necroticism. The most interesting thing about Carcass is that they developed their sound between each of their five original albums, which makes each album a Unique listen. Surgical Steel is the only Carcass album that´s a bit retro in sound, but if you enjoy the three 90s Carcass albums it´s a great combination of the sound on those.

Good assessment.  I still need to listen to their debut though. Embarrassed

Listening to it now, also an amazing album. This and 'Necroticism' are definitely becoming two of my favorite death metal albums. Thumbs Up

Also my favourite, though it was Heartwork for a very long time then one day Necroticism clicked with me 100%.

^Necroticism was the latest album by Carcass when I got into them, so maybe it´s something about the first love thing. Heartwork never really clicked with me, although I do acknowledge that it´s a great quality release. When I decide to listen to it, it always comes off after a couple of tracks though. Just not my poison I guess.

I love Carcass. Necroticism is their best album IMO, but I really dig Heartwork, too and Surgical Steel is an amazing comeback album. The two first albums are interesting, and, though it's hard to hear what the fuck is going on Reek, you could still hear that this was a band with talent and an interesting take on grindcore. A lot of people dislike Swansong because it's more or a traditional heavy metal album, but I actually quite enjoy that album too - more so than Reek, and probably also a bit more than Symphonies. Swansong is nowhere as awesome to me as Necroticism, Heartwork, and Steel, but I think there are some pretty good hard rocking songs on Swansong that I find really enjoyable, such as 'Keep On Rotting In The Free World' and 'Tomorrow Belongs To Nobody'.

As for Steel having a bit of a retro sound, I must say that I hear thrash metal and NWoBHM elements on Steel that I haven't noticed on thier 90s albums. So, to me, Steel kinda both looks backwards and forwards.

Heartwork was my first album and was the only one I listened to for a long time.  Necroticism took over as my favourite after it finally clicked with me.

Surgical Steel is an amazing comeback, of course there are the people that will never accept it as a good album but I leave that as their own problem.

I can't understand why people get their tits in a tangle with bands releasing new albums after a long period and these albums don't meet this apparent perceived level of greatness their previous classic albums achieved.

At The Gates, Gorguts, Morgoth, Carcass to name a few all had a huge gap in between albums and people are expecting them to....well I don't know what they expect.  Can they not take the album for what it is?? Can they not be happy that these bands are putting new material out for us all to enjoy??

I agree completely. With Carcass in particular, this is a band who reinvent themselves with each release, so it makes a lot of sense to me that their comeback album should not be a complete clone of their past releases.
