Import slipcase version!
Virtually since their inception, Cannibal Corpse have, almost as a rule, seemed destined to be reviewers' favourite whipping boys. Quite as to the reasons why remains uncertain; perhaps it is their stubborn unwillingness to compromise their now fairly tired lyrical fodder, or to depart even slightly from their ultra-technical style of death metal that has since spawned a voluminous legion of imitators. Whatever the case may be, the fact that they can boast the distinction of being the first extreme band to achieve platinum selling status would suggest that they're at least doing something right, and one could further argue that they have scaled this considerable height as a direct result of their doing the very things that the metal media flays them for with their every release. Predictably once again _The Wretched Spawn_ has drawn its fair share of criticism, with one point in particular standing out in my mind this time round as a pure admission of ignorance: that Cannibal Corpse have simply repeated themselves. It is certainly true that _The Wretched Spawn_ is a Cannibal Corpse album in every sense of the word, and so from the off you will know what to expect -- George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher's blisteringly intense vocals, Alex Webster's inhumanly skilful bass-wizardry, the seething combination of Jack Owen and Pat O'Brien's guitars -- all dancing to the tune of Paul Mazurkiewicz's trademark battery.-Chronicles of Chaos
