Carnivore is a band I have mixed feelings about. The lyrics are fun and I like their anti-hippie agenda, but the musicianship bores me. Mediocre riffs stretched out for a minute too long, and a rhythm section that doesn't seem to do anything interesting... Steele's vocal stylings certainly don't help either.
Cryptic Slaughter's out put is uneven, but when they're on it's fantastic. Fast, decent riffs, and an excellent sense of rhythm.
