*** I LIKE BARNEY ***.......2006-07-24

This is by far my favorite ND album. Grindcore with a smigden of heavy metal. Great Riffs. I seen them on this tour at the Hollywood Pallaidium. Biggest pit I ever seen in my life.

A Puzzling Nature.......2003-11-07

Utopia Banished moves away from the genre-rewriting,precedent setting death metal of Harmony Corruption, but this doesn't a bit return to the band's grindcore roots that the successive Fear,Emptiness,Despair would be.While simultaneously maintaining an distinctive atmosphere of understanding or intelligence attended for a intellectual preson,the group here makes a combination of death metal and grindcore influences being crossed.Even if they are able to be understood comprehensibly,the band's lyrics in the past times were exemplifying justly on politics and culture in their terms,
but something must of happened to this band which looks unlikely for them to do by penning in some of these (pseudo)- lyrics that haveto do with scholarship or otherwise learning.
Sure you can get some interesting character behind the hidden truths of these lyrics with the help of a dictionary or English degree on literary works but anyone else is going to feel low in rank to intellectualism.Think of the issues involving these excessively so planned lyrics they appear unnatural,artificial or forced as a descriptive term but not literally applicable;
the group's lyrics result in accessibility that can't be reached by the construction of complex song structures that consist of many momentary modulation and resulting in being alittle repetitiveness.When it comes to certain things that can't be reached and become something valuable, but the songs seem to be difficult to like in Napalm Death's case.First of all,there aren't many hooks,transitional piece structures between verses and choruses,guitar riffs that are attractive,or rhythms that vary.Secondly,when the album moves on to other tracks, the band keeps changing styles as the heavy drummings from the explosive ''I abstain'' to start off with, then followed by taking od materials being put in newer forms without significant
improving lacking vitality of the same sounds to these too many songs to be counted that are not properly connecting.
On your rotating metal disc of a record for anyone who doesn't like these guys music should enjoy this album's puzzilg qualities, they try to prove the critics something on this album after the sellout type of judgement resulting to their move to traditional death metal hackneye harmony Corruption.It turns out to be bad fortune,the credibility through inaccessibility rebounded adversely on their originators to attend re-establishment serving refreshment to the comeback of Fear,Emptiness,Despair to seem more new.Utopia Banished is not a very good and it's Napalm Death's worst album.

Sorry.......2002-11-11

In my previous review, I said that the drummer was Mitch Harris. Well it turns out he doesn't exist. I was thinking of Mick Harris who isn't on this album. The real drummer with blinding speed is Danny Hearrea (Sp?). Sorry.

Napalm Death Banished!.......2002-10-18

To easily put it...one of Napalm Death's finest albums. It's as simple as that. Napalm Death being the leaders and most extreme band(these guys put any of those lame new bOOtul Death/Black Metal band to shame). It's still as extreme today as it was when it was released back in 1990.

Stand-out tracks: I Abstain, Demntia Access, The World Keeps Turning, and Aryanisms.

Alos on another note, the intro is pretty creepy sounding as well.

pure genius.......2002-10-15

Omigoddess, I'm glad to see this album again! No, it's not ND's fastest/ bloodiest/ grindcoriest album, and yes, it's attempting a benchmark. But I think it actually succeeds-- it's definitely more layered, say, (the magnificent) Harmony Corruption. And some tracks get downright creepy, "Contemptuous", for example, a wonderful echoing stomp. And you even get the patented throat-bleeding Barney Scream on a few songs to feed your bloodlust. Top picks: "Contemptuous", "I Abstain", "Got Time to Kill", "Dementia Access".
