These former Celtic Frost roadies never got too much recognition from the metal world for their music, which was years ahead of its time. Perhaps having Tom G. Warrior do vocal tracks for their famous demo had them in the shadows of the famous fellow Swiss band. As far as Coroner's debut "R.I.P." goes, it lacks direction generally. Although straight forward and aggressive, one would get the feeling of blank spots here and there, and especially with all that talent going around. The classical and atmospheric intros are done quite nicely, but seem very out of place. The stuff here is pretty fast and has a monstrous plodding sound, with plenty of great and powerful leads.

An album that certainly shows coroner as a promising band, but ultimately falls short of expectations if you've listened to their other albums-a more thorough example of how good and talented a band can get. This album still has a lot of good tunes mind, like the title track and 'reborn through Hate', and the instrumentals work well on their own, but not as part of the album's flow. It's a snappy start, that's for sure.

Nope, I am comparing this to other Coroner records. It's their weakest IMO. It's not bad but I like their entire discography better than this.

Why? Thats just one of the elements of an album and a perfectly good reason to judge it

No, I hardly believe it's the same thing. The point of the production is to highlight the songwriting and performance of a band but it also improves the atmosphere of an album. How can you appreciate an intricate bass line, a great solo, great drumming or a beautiful voice if everything is completely buried under a big buzz?
Or at the other end of the spectrum: How can the atmosphere of a Black Metal album cause an impression on the person who listens to it if everything sounds so clean? The point of giving an organic sound thatreminds you of nature is gone. The quality of the sound of all instruments and vocals IS a part of music. the same riff can sound in so many ways just by changing the tune, how clean it should be, etc... many of those ways WILL be awful and some of them brilliant.

Graphics are one of the key elements of a video game actually, despite how superficial it may seem in comparison to stuff like gameplay and AI. Would Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare be as popular as it is if it looked like Finest Hour or Big Red One? If you look past the advanced graphics and the modestly improved story, they're basically the same in terms of gameplay.
I remember playing American McGee's Alice (Made by the same guy who made designs for Quake) when it first came out and it was like the coolest game in the world to me at the time. When Alice: Madness returns came out I decided to replay it, and boy was it underwhelming. Still a nice game, but so cheap in comparison to it's sequel. Quake may have that "Clunky graphics = Nostalgia" feeling, but AM's Alice doesn't. Despite it's many flaws, I enjoyed MR much more thanks to it's massive improvement in appearance and atmosphere. Graphics, while seemingly superficial, are essential if you really want to immerse yourself in the game.
