This is my favourite CC album of all time and in my Top 10 Death Metal albums as well. It kicks ass on so many levels and the production on this is some of the best I've heard out of any death metal album. The big factor being that I can hear Alex Webster's bass so much in this album and that's so important because he is by far the best bass player in death metal. Hammer Smashed Face, to me, is the most perfect death metal track I've ever heard. I will never get sick of it. I can see why it's a lot of peoples favourite. The riffs are tight, the drumming is crazy and even the 10 second bass solo at the start is awesome. Not even CC themselves have been able to top this track and no one can really explain why it's so good, not even the band. There isn't a song I don't like on here and another awesome track with good riffs is Necropedophile. I play it just as much as Hammer Smashed Face.
The cover is the sickest, the music is the brutalest, and this was when the group was just getting to thier peak. Albums were starting to sell a lot, even with the kids parents trying to get them to not buy it. Some people may argue that this group tried too hard to be over the top but I think it's better than not trying at all.
