Customer Reviews Tremendously Underrated Cannibal... However, for sheer creativity, it is certainly one of their best (even surpasses "Kill" for me). Is this their best album? No. "Bloodthirst" is in the running for 2nd best CC album ever (after "The Bleeding," of course) with "The Wretched Spawn" and "Kill. " It's hard to say which I like the best, because they're all so good. "Bloodthirst" is solid all the way through, which can't be said of albums such as "Gore Obsessed" or "Gallery of Suicide" (the band's weakest two albums). If you love death metal, or any type of hard metal, you will love "Bloodthirst," end of story. Buy it now!. The way death metal should be Cannibal Corpse for me though is a favorite that I can't just pass up. I'll admit I listen to a lot of heavy music, but I'm not too big into death metal. I've heard a lot of death metal bands, a lot of them sounding alike and very much the same, and some kinda weak. Corpse is the exception. Fast, pummeling, energetic, each album: a soundtrack to a riot. Real death metal. The guitars lacerate, the vocals courtesy of George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher chew you up and spit you out, and the drums and bass pound you into dust as the title of the first song on this album suggests, no pun intended. Every musician shines on each release including guitarists Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen (his spot now being occupied by Rob Barrett), and bassist Alex Webster. Bloodthirst Is Everything Death Metal Should Be (For Beginners) All of this is absolute B. Of course, if you have ever listened to any death metal then you have heard of Cannibal Corpse and how disgusting they are and blah blah blah. S. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher grunts his way through this whole CD and you can't understand him 95% of the time. Bloodthirst is by far not Cannibal Corpse's best release, but it sure is heavy, fast and catchy. It is said that "Hammer Smashed Face" is CC's most mainstream song. That makes absolutely no sense since Chris Barnes moans and grunts even more indecipherable vocals than Fisher. I think a good song for a CC newbie might be "The Spine Splitter" or "Blowtorch Slaughter. " Bloodthirst begins with "Pounded Into Dust" and then the record takes off from there, never letting up in intensity. Every song is very good. CC has improved very much over the years. The guitar playing is superb, the bass is in time and quite audible, the drumming has got to be some of the best in the business. It is so ridiculously fast and pounding. Vocals are very good, but I have to admit if you're not used to the gutteral grunting of grinding death metal it begins to grate on you ears. I highly reccomend Bloodthirst as a starting point for all CC newbs. It is like a break-in CD, onve you like tghis CC becomes a lot more likeable. And for all of the dumbasses who review Cannibal Corpse with 1 star I wish you would just go back to revirwing Coldplay, U2 and Green Day. One guy labeled himself as a Rock/Metal fanatic and then went on to give several CC, metallica, Slayer, Slipknot and Morbid Angel releases one star. After clicking his reviews button you find that he is really into techno and easy listening [. . . ]. Good God. Cannibal Corpse Rocks, buy this album!. .
