Awesome LIVE band! Forget manufactured lip syncers on the radio, this is raw, brutal, real, non-conforming death metal music. This band is great and they prove their weight LIVE and uncut on LIVE cannibalism.
This one goes out to eggplant
LEAVE CANNIBAL CORPSE ALONE, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU DON'T LIKE THEM. GO REVIEW YOUR HEROIN ADDICTED SILLY BOYS SUBLIME.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LIVE ALBUM FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN CANNIBAL CORPSE AND DEATH METAL IN GENERAL. DO NOT LISTEN TO NAY SAYERS WHO KNOW NOT WHAT THEY SAY.
Very Good Live Recording
Excellent performance and sound. Live Cannibalism, Cannibal Corpse's first (and at time of writing only) live recording is on the whole very good. The track selection is good. In fact I was surprised that some of my favorites like 'Meat Hook Sodomy' and 'F*cked With A Knife' made the list. Of course I would have liked to have had 'The Bleeding' as well, but alas. The songs are played almost identically to the studio originals. One thing I would have liked is more interaction with the audience on the part of Corpsegrinder. And perhaps something extra for those of us who have these albums already (i. e. a new studio track or something akin to that). As it is I rate this 7/10, recommended for any fan of the band or any newcomer.
.
If you do, however, like Cannibal Corpse, then this is an essential album for your collection. This, of course contains all of Cannibal Corpse's greatest efforts, but, of course, you have to enjoy death metal on the whole to enjoy this album? Think Cannibal Corpse sound like crap? Stay away from this. The complexity of their music is really captured, even moreso than the original album releases, and although I much prefer Barnes' vocals, Corpsegrinder does a damn solid job.
The lyrics are, of course, brutal to the point of excessiveness, or even plain stupid, but that's all in the name of getting out into the mosh pit and having a f*cking fun time. Rock on!.
Live Cannibalism - The Audio CD
I bought it somewhere in late 2000 along with Death's Individual Thought Patterns and the 4th soundtrack to Xena: Warrior Princess. This is one of my favorite Cannibal Corpse albums in my collection. So when I got to this CD and played it, like all Cannibal Corpse releases, it delivered.
Now before my review. I need to say some things that are very imporant. This release is available in a variety of 2 different formats. There's a version on CD and one on DVD. I will review the DVD version next. Let me also not forget that there are also 2 different versions of the CD and DVD version but all this falls under this whole problem with different versions of CD's and DVD's being released in the US and in foreign countries overseas as well as the whole issue of imports and the common complaint about the overeas countries always getting the good stuff. To put this in proper perspective, there is the CD and DVD version of this release for the US and the version for countries overseas. The tracklisting and order might be slighty different. All of the might be due to an important factor and that factor is that the band's first 3 albums are banned in some foreign countries like New Zealand and Germany and that band can't perform any song from any of those first 3 albums. Is this why the foreign versions of the Live Cannibalism release can't have songs from those first 3 albums and there are tracks that are not on the US versions. So this is why the tracklisting is different for the versions for the foreign countries than the ones for the US. Now the reason I'm addressing this is because I want to clear the air for all the foreign Cannibal Corpse fans who are confused as well as to offer Cannibal Corpse collectors (both US and foreign) a change on how to get their hands on both the foriegn and US versions of this Live Cannibalism release for possible, xtra, bonus stuff on the both versions so that no one misses out on anything. Now for the US and foreign fans, both the US and foreign versions of both the CD and DVD versions of this release are available only at places like E-bay. So go look through the section for Cannibal Corpse and get a copy of each version if available. Also, look here at Amazon. com just in case there are import copies which are foreign version of both the CD and DVD. Lastly, the version I will be reviwing now is the US version for audio CD.
Now for my review. This is not another Cannibal Corpse studio album. This is a live album and it contains live material from the tour for the album Bloodthirst. So the live material here spans from Bloodthirst all the way back the very first album called Eaten Back To Life. So basically, every album is covered. The performances are awesome, the production and sound is heavy, brutal and listenable at the same and track sellections will please any true Cannibal Corpse die-hard. Some of my favorite songs here are Staring Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Stripped, Raped And Strangled, I Cum Blood, F--ked With A Knife, Unleashing The Bloodthirsty, Gallery Of Suicide, Perverse Suffering, The Spline Splitter, A Skull Full Of Maggots and Hammer Smashed Face. So buy this album and experience some live, extreme, musical cannibalism curtesy of the monsters known as Cannibal Corpse. Enjoy the experience. .
