And Then You'll Beg

Yea, this is technical. Yea, the drums are well played Yea, it has alot of stupid riff and time changes...and? All of that just seems like technical playing for the sake of technical playing. No real song structure or purpose appear on this album, just mathrock monkey spanking and Mike Desalvos bad breath eminating out of my speakers. This is exactly what is wrong with Death Metal in this modern era. Yet another band has confused what Death Metal is about. Cryptopsy believe Death Metal is a forum to display technical ability, to which theirs is not in question, but forget that song writing, aesthetic and a nihilistic ideological base are the building blocks for essential Death Metal.

Honestly, I think the only reason they picked someone as worthless as Desalvo was to make the rest of the band seem better. I probably would have scored this album 10-20 points higher if Mike Desalvo's mother had been kicked in the stomach. And where the fuck are the riffs at? There are probably as many riffs on this as on that retarded Dark Angel uber-technical wank fest, Time Does Not Heal, but I doubt there are 9 good ones.

Fans of evil Death metal stick to NONE SO VILE. Fans of pointless time changes and annoying riffs coupled with stupid lyrics and vocals check this out. Novelty bands, fuck how I hate them. I once heard this album characterized as "sonic algebra"....I think I'll skip math class....
