Let's go thru the songs.

1. Regurgitate - Genital Grinder

Solid opening ot the album by swedish goregrind legends Regurgitate. Slightly less downtuned than the original version but maintains the same pace.

2. Rotten Sound - Reek of Putrifaction

Reek of Putrifaction isn't really one of my favourite songs, that said this is a pretty good cover with a nice solo added in the middle.

3. Haemorrhage - Pyosisified Rotten to the Gore

Good, slightly better than the original.

4. Nasum - Tools of the Trade

This is a very good song by Carcass, and well covered by Nasum

5. Cattle Decapitation - Burnt to a crisp

Yet another strong cover. This is much faster than the original song and the vocals far deeper and stronger.

6. Exhumed - Exhume to Consume

Much clearer than the original Carcass version, pretty good

7. Disgorge - Hepatic Tissue Fermentation

Amazing. This is better than the original because the second part is much more in tune than the original (suprisingly) Disgorge are quite a talented band when they put their backs into it.

8. Machetazo - Suppuration

Good, but suppuration isn't really one of carcass's stronger releases.

9. General Surgery - Empathologic Necrotism

Another decent cover.

10. Necrony - Pungent Excruciation

This is another one of my favourites by carcass and has been attempted twice on this album. unfortunately both bands miss out the best part, the solo. Although at least this band attempted it.

11. Impaled - Carneous Cacoffiny

don't particularly like this song, but I like Impaled.

12. Pig Destroyer - Genital Grinder/Regurgitation of Giblets

Personally I think this should have been the opening song. Still this is much better than the original Reek of putrifaction opening, particularly the drums.

13. Vulgar Pigeons - Corporal Jigsaw Quandary

Another good song, this is probably the happiest sounding song on the album yet it's still terrifying, and that's what makes it great.

14. Bodies Lay Broken - Microwaved uterogesation

OMG! what a weird band, classic primative grindcore sound with bashing solo, a sick pleasure to listen to

15. Engorged - Swarming Mass Of Infected Virulency

A good range of vocals from this band, and a descent cover.

16. Dead Infection - Pungent Excruciation

Oh dear, this is the second attempt at this song but still no sign of that classic solo, at least necrony tried, but this band desided to take shortcuts and miss it out. Seeing as Dead Infection are not as talented as some of these other bands they probably should have chosen an easier song.

17. Avulsed - Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment

Avulsed are very talented musicians, it's clear to see the way they've improved this song so much.

18. Reguritate - Psychopathologist

Regurgitate return to close up the album, they started strong and they've ended strong, awsome remix of the original, and definately the stars of the show.

so just miss out track 16 and enjoy it.
