Query: As good as it gets

This album sets the standard for death metal; that's how good it is. In a genre where far too many bands opt for all-out speed at the expense of power, Obituary keeps the pace down and gains unmatched crunch. The production is absolutely fantastic, vocalist John Tardy is in top form and guitar mercenary James Murphy adds som nice melodic touches to the wall of sound. The bite of "Chopped in half" and "Find the arise" have yet to be topped by any later release by any band.The only metal album better than this one is Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss", and if you want just one death metal CD in your collection, this should be it. Enjoy!
