The ugly, clumsy and brutish hardcore cousin to "Reign in Blood".......2006-12-21

Ok, why compare it at all to "Reign in Blood?" I'll tell you why...Carnivore's second album "Retaliation" was released on the heels of Slayer's undisputed classic in 1987. while the material here sounds nothing like Slayer's razor sharp, hyper speed riffage, it equals its brutality in the way it just GETS TO YOU! Carnivore have always meddled in the genre once known as "crossover" which basically marries hardcore with thrash metal. And even though Carnivore was affiliated with the NYHC ( New York Hardcore ) scene they tended to be more metal sounding but not just any metal, POUNDING, LOUD, HEAD SPLITTINGLY LOVELY BROOKLYN NOO YAWK METAL! I can honestly say that when I first heard this album, shortly after it came out, it was the only album up until that point and probably still that gave me the same feeling that "Reign" did. Again, this is more stripped down and hardcore sounding but nobody and I mean NOBODY can equal the pain and anguish in Pete Steeles's voice, not even Tom Araya kiddies. I recall seeing this on cassette in NY's J&R Records and just looking at the cover art, YES this I must own! I didn't know squat about Carnivore at that time, having never heard of them or their music. But truly, it was one of the best blind choices I ever made in buying music! Taking it home and being obliterated with "Jack Daniels and Pizza" is a thrill I will always remember! Seeing the re-united Carnivore this year was awesome( R.I.P. Keith Alexander aka Bonnano ) but nothing will ever come close to 1986-88 era Carnivore. They epitomized anger and release to me, they still rock, but seriously will Slayer, Sepultura, or Bad Brains ever retain their heyday glory? I higly doubt that. And again, they were not officially "NYHC" but this album just Doc Marten stomps over just about every NYHC album, with the exception of "The Age of Quarrel" by Cro-Mags and maybe "Victim in Pain" by Agnsotic Front. There is not a bad cut on this album, and I can recommend this to die hard fans of Slayer, Agnostic Front, Biohazard (early), Sepultura, Napalm Death and Cro Mags. chances are, if you listen to any of those bands this is already in your collection. but if not, trust me, it gets no harder, no angrier no BETTER than this. I can truly use the saying "they don't make em like this anymore!!" I haven't been interested in "metal" in over 12 years at least. Why? It all SUCKS!! Metal today, don't get me started! I'd like to see 6'6 Pete Steele slap up any poser who thinks they "shred." And of course, Carnivore went on to become the excellant Type O Negative who still record and gig, but those were the days!!! Carnivore's 1985 self titled debut is amazing as well, but for the real Brooklyn meat and potatoes don't think Biohazard, think a Wilkensen razor, I think!! So all in all, though I abhor labels, this must go in the top 10 metal albums of all time...and that includes the classics from Black
Sabbath, Metallica and Slayer!!!

there was life before Type O..........2006-04-21

this was Pete Steele's band in the 80's before Type O Negative were around. as a matter of fact, their first album Slow Deep And Hard unofficially, was actually supposed to be Carnivore's third album. anyway, Carnivore only put out 2 albums. their self-titled debut was ok, but this 2nd album was far superior. in fact, I think Retaliation is probably one of the most under-rated albums that came out on Roadrunner records in the late-80's. pure early crossover NYC thrash/punk. its right up there with albums by The Accused, Crumbsuckers, DRI, and Gang Green.

A Different kind of Metal.......2006-03-14

This is a very unique album. It will not appeal to all. It has a very different "metal" sound, slightly on the thrash side, with a touch of goth. It is a shame that Peter Steele did not continue with this project. His type o negative work is good, just not as cool as this stuff.

hidden treasure, 1987 crossover!.......2006-03-10

whoa, blast from the past! i remember being a kid hanging out with these skaters back in 1988 and they would blast S.M.D. on their boombox while skating around and causing trouble. I remember this vividly. Elderly couple walks up to us. "Turn that radio off! Move it out of our way!" Skater presses stop on the boom box, moves the boom box an inch. turns volume to full, presses play, blasts music, and gives the elderly couple the finger and laughs.

well then, this music is rebelious, in yer face, funny, and disturbing. it kinda is a Suicidal Tendencies for the east coast but a lot (i mean a lot) more crass and obnoxious!

This is a pretty important album for thrash. It has a heavy NYC Hardcore influence (Nuclear Assualt Handle w/Care, Agnostic Front, Biohazard) and its just great. Type O was horrible but this, pure classic crass metal. Get it, laugh at it, crack some skulls with it!

Maybe not as good as the first..but still.........2006-01-27

Yeah I think I like the first CARNIVORE a little better, MORE DOOM!!

But this is still no slouch..infact you could say this is THE hardcore and or CROSS OVER album ,make's D.R.I. sound like madona!!

The lyric's are funny because..well hey they all came true, which is why you may be a tad worried..because the WORLD may end as well soon!!

JESUS HITLER..man they are all here!!!

SING ALONG to them naughty wordzz my brotherzz!!! enjoy it while ya can!!

there was no band like them before or after their existence!.......1999-06-27

in the days before type "o"carnivore was an up front truth or rude in your face band.any song you pull out of their two albums are sung with force aggression and emotion.very few songwriters have the talent to write and perform what they've written with the way they want their art expressed the way pete steele can.he has written many songsfor other bands including agnostic front.he is definitely a pioneer of hardcore and well respected in that arena.the songs on their two albums are the most real original stylistic pieces that cant be compared to any band anyone has ever heard.a definite must have for any hardcore/metal fan.i am proud to say growing up in the n.y. area to have been blessed to see and hear them live on various occasions and will never forget the intensity of their shows.especially negative night at lamour w/sheer terror and biohazard singing their 1st albums.

Pretty well-written for thrash/hardcore........1999-05-10

Pete actually gets occasionally pensive on a few of the songs in this double EP. Steele whips out his Wildean wit on more than half the tunes given here; making "Retaliation" a better read than listen. And listen I did. Peter puts his often (unintentionally or not) comical lyrics through his grating thrash machine. Best read's "SMD" and "Sex and Violence." Hey, it's even funnier than any of "Tank's" recordings!

Angry, New York City, Metal/Hardcore music........1999-04-13

This split cd might not have all of the songs originally recorded on the individual albums. But it is definitly worth buying. Not to mention, finding the individual albums is next to impossible these days. If you like some of Peter Steele's earlier work with Type O Negative, then you'll love Carnivore.

Old School Thrash metal!!.......2004-08-20

This is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. Carnivore was headlined by Peter Steele (Now of Type O Negative) If you like the fast punk-metal songs from Slow, Deep, & Hard and Bloody Kisses, I highly recommend this.
