Like someone said before.....you're sig has slipknot in it, therefore your opinion is not valid. But honestly, Carcass are not in the least bit overrated. Their only truly ****ty album is Swansong, while Heartwork is questionable, but you can't call a pioneering band overrated. They released one of the first grindcore albums with Reek which is arguably the most aggressive of all the first grindcore albums. They made a second album that was in the same style as the first, but even better. Then, they successfully switch over to pure death metal and make one killer ****ing album and at the same time spawn millions of clone bands: Exhumed, The County Medical Examiners, Disgorge(Mex), Impaled, etc. If that wasn't enough, they go ahead and play melodeath on Heartwork(which is a good thing or a bad thing depending on whether you like melodeath or not) and do a pretty good job at it, even though they kinda did sell out. After releasing Heartwork, even more ****ty bands emerge playing even more Carcass riffs. Swansong did suck ass any way you look at it but it doesn't really matter. A band that has accomplished that much and had that much effect in three genres(death metal, grindcore,melodeath) that are some of the most generic genres in metal CANNOT be called overrated.

As much as I love most bands who completely ripped off Reek and can acknowledge that they did so, I find that the album is very muddy and some of it gets lost in the mix. The end result is an album with amazing song writing that is somewhat hard to fully enjoy, which is slightly sadenning.

The production is'nt the best on the album I agree.

Yeah I really like it but its main problem is the bad production. There's no denying its effect and its aggressiveness though. I do have a perfect solution for you though: Symphonies of Sickness

While good production does make an album more enjoyable, Bad production just adds something else to an album. Something raw, chafed, not candy-coated and wrapped up, not easy to swallow.

Got two carcass albums; Reek of Putrefaction, and Symphonies of Sickness. Haven't REALLY listened to them, just popped one of them in one day. Liked what I heard. Once I get through my Kataklysm munchies, I'll check them out some more.

Oh yeah, and Slipknot? HAHAHA!!! Oh, so stupid and too funny to even argue against.

Only one good kind of maggot; ones you find filling up a skull............. Cannibal Corpse reference? No?.... Epic Fail?
