Seems I've touched a soft spot. let's go with this most Cannible Corpse that I've heard is boring, and this isn't anything new. I can appreciate they haven't sold out. Other than that not my taste.

I would much prefer to hear something about a philanthropic vegan corpse with interesting, and none repetitive music.

Thank you! The drumming is a big part of CC, You can tell when you hear that signature blast that its Paul. Did you guys watch any videos or see them live? Do you think its easy to play that shit? You can boot guitarists & vocalists but without Alex or Paul is just wouldnt be Corpse!

You should have known better than to dislike Cannibal Corpse. We only allow for a very narrow breadth of taste on this'ere site, an' we don't take kindly to anybody what don't like the Cannibal Corpse around these parts! Now git!

The exact opposite of Cannibal Corpse isn't Metallica. It's something with clean vocals, thoughtful lyrics that develop over time rather than remain in the narrow box one member drew the lines to fifteen years ago, song rather than riff-based writing integrated among all the members, a tendency towards melodic rather than rhythmic patterns, a relaxed pace, a lot of smooth lead guitar well-integrated into the song structure, varied drumming, etc. Not necessarily better than CC, but who knows? Sounds a bit like Pink Floyd. I'm not really sure I'd want to hear CC moving in a Pink Floyd direction, but I do love Pink Floyd.

Paul is not a very good drummer and probably part of a reason continues to come off as repetitive despite a serious movement since the inclusion of Pat O'Brien towards pointless technicality. So, in a way, he is part of what makes the CC sound. But not necessarily in any kind of good way. That said I'm not sure I'd want to see them without him, but that has more to do with a sentimental attachment to one of the first bands and sounds that got me into death metal than a belief they still make music to get excited over.

by definition, what is "pointless technicality"?

Yeah, but just because something is difficult to play, doesn't necessarily make it good. If Pat played the same fast riff throughout every song, would it be hard to play? yes. Would it be fun to listen to? No. Technical ability AND Creativity are key components to music good. Listening to Paul play blast beats in every song is like listening to a guitarist play chromatic scales all day.

Technicality introduced for no reason aside from a showcase of being capable of such technicality. Technicality with no inherent value aside from being technical. Frantic Disembowlment, as suggested, isn't a bad place to start.

Of course, this is going to be subjective, and with such a large number of people on this site for whom music is little more than coordinated virtuosity I doubt my idea of pointless technicality is going to be the predominant one.

From what i've heard of the new Cannibal Corpse it seems like Paul varied his drumming a little bit... I mean he's atually hitting his toms.... And not for just drum fills....

The drumming sounds really simple, in reality it is pretty hard. He has an ectremely precise robotic style. I know a guy who can blast forever and do anything Roddy can [hyperbole obviously] but to play Corpse or Slayer if you have the robotic precision it is pretty extreme.

So in simple, my AWESOME drummer plays blasting for ages and speed speed speed easy and robotic Corpse type stuff he makes mistakes because of the 'Psychotic Precision' required.

Tell me about it man i can finally play that song after ages of practising but the news corpse so far is pretty damn cool i will definately get the new album with the live dvd.

Is the cover art going to be that bit that just says "Kill" ? cuz that would be gay we want more gore covers

I also think pat is pretty essential to cannibal he is one of my most favourite guitar players and he writes alot of my favourite songs by them since he has been in the band.

So whats with the album cover for "Kill" ? surely it isnt that crappy picture i been seeing around which just says "cannibal corpse and KILL" on a black background cuz that'd be shit.

I tottally agree about the pointlessly technical thing. You can write an insanly technical song and be like "ha look what I can do" but it will sound boring and will not be fun to listen to. I have never been a huge fan of Pat's writting. A great player yes but he tries to show off way too much when writting songs.

And stop fucking asking about the fucking album cover. I already said it's not the actual cover. It's the censord verson. This is how it will apear in stores but the booklet will have the actual cover.

fuck the cover, it could have daises and bunnies but if the music owns who gives a shit. its just gonna sit on your shelf and collect dust
