Customer Reviews:

One of the best grindcore albums ever.......2006-07-17

There is a lot of criticism by the "new school" Napalm Death fans out there. Sure, Napalm Death was a great 90's death metal band, but everything from "Harmony Corruption" through their nowadays records are simply death metal. But "Scum" and "FETO" are grindcore. Grindcore does not equal death metal...and everyone should know why. Fans of the newer Napalm Death should not take their first two albums as death metal. As for Napalm Death themselves, they revolutionalized grindcore, tagged it and released two of the best grind albums in 1987 and '89. "FETO" is not "Scum", but it is better than (most) of the thousand clones that came out after grindcore became a important genre of music. In my opinion, the 1989 lineup was the best lineup ever in the band's history. Led by Bill Steer on guitars (also of Carcass fame), Lee Dorrian (also of Cathedral fame), Shane Embury on bass and Mick Harris, who went on to many industrial and doom metal projects, these legendary musicians were able to grind out this 34:18, 27-song album.

Production for this album is *better* than "Scum", and everything (except the bass) is audible, but it isn't perfect. But, for a grindcore album, it is good. Lyrics...the lyrics are pure genius. Inspired by old-school punk and the "f*** it all" attitude, you get some very angry lyrics. Songs like "It's A M.A.N.S.'s World" and "Evolved As One" offer some of the best political lyrics out there. Lee Dorrian combines the low, inaudible grunts and the high pitched shriek for vocals, which may scare away little kids, but if you try to sing behind all that carnage, it would sound stupid. Mick Harris fills drum duties perfectly, grinding out some fast and crazy stuff. The bass is inaudible, which is no surprise. And Bill Steer...this man gets my respect just for starting Carcass, but he helped revolutionize two musical genre's (grind with Napalm and Carcass and melo-death with Carcass). He is a great songwriter, and shows it in every band he is in. The guitars are on steroids and play at an insanely fast pace. You should all bow down to Mr. Steer and treat him as a god!

This 28-track album kicks off with "Evolved As One", which sounds like more of an industrial song, with a cool drum fill and almost talking vocals until Dorrian busts out screaming "weak minds" until the end. Then, the carnage begins. Most of the songs are a minute long. There are some longer songs, which slow down a little bit. These slower songs are awesome...period. Toward the end of the album, there are some 0:05 and 0:06 second songs that are there for filler, but like the immortal "You Suffer" on "Scum', they have music, lyrics and vocals, and are oddly considered real "songs". The best songs here include "Evolved as One", "It's a M.A.N.S World!" (with great, sarcastic yet serious lyrics), "Unchallenged Hate", "Display to Me...", "From Enslavement to Obliteration" and "Mentally Murdered". Sometimes, you could hear a compressed guitar solo in some of the songs. Very cool. As the title of this review states, this is one of the best grindcore albums ever. I have had this album for a long, long time, and it hasn't left my CD player in that length of time. Essential for any extreme metal fan out there. Compared to Napalm Death's followers, nothing comes close (except...maybe Carcass or Nasum). Go out and get this album if you consider yourself an extreme metal fan.

You can't handle this much metal.......2006-03-15

This album is pretty intense. I listened to it once in the car with a friend who wasn't into heavy music, and his head exploded. All the songs after the first are extremely fast, short, and furious as hell. This is what grindcore is all about, and this is a classic in this genre. I'd strongly recommend this if you're into metal/hardcore. But if you're new to this kind of music I'd steer clear of this one for a while. You probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it yet and your head might explode. Have fun with this one kiddies.

Don't waste yer cash.......2006-01-01

I've been a fan of napalm for almost 16 yrs ago and to be honest this cd really was a piece of donkeycrap, seriously, if you want to get an idea of what this revolting mess sounds like, try playing some of their later(and muuuuuuuuuch better),stuff on fast forward to a tape of two wolverines humphin' while disembowelling a stray cat for added cheer! very nonsensilcal and retarded are a lot of the three second songs, a waste of time when I first bought a loooooong time ago and still is, if you want better stuff from naplam, buy harmony corruption or utopia banished

BEST OF GRINDCORE.......2005-10-25

although some of the songs are pointless and five seconds long all of the others are great. I reccomend this for anyone who is interested in grincore or is into metal.

ONE OF A KIND.......2005-09-14

Oh man. I'll never forget when I was looking for this new extreme band they were talking about in the radio. I went to the record shop and asked the guy if he'd know something about it because I forgot the name. He gave me the right record ! I listened to one or two songs and was floored. I never heard something like this before.
At home, my buddy and I listened to this thing in full effect and we laughed our asses off ! We were almost rolling on the floor. We laughed because it was so crazy, brutal and extreme. But then it got serious; we were simply totally astonished.
The production blew me away. To this day, I've never heard such ferocious drumming. The bass is ultra-brutal and deep. The lovely Bill Steer (who moved on to the also great Carcass later on and is now singing and playing in Firebird, great band by the way) builds a wall of sound with his guitar. And of course the wonderful Lee Dorrian, now leader of Cathedral, who seemed to be tortured during recording. He growls, cries, shouts like all the pain and injustice in this world goes thru him. The lyrics are intelligent and political.
Or like a German rock critic once wrote: This represents the last lethal puking into the big cosmic toilet we all have to pass by one day (hope you understand my weak English translation).
This record is a special classic.
Every home needs one.
