Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

See dead one, nobody lashed into you for what you said

That other day I listened to four Aborted albums in one night, which is extremely hard to digest. Especially after not listening to any in six years. Seeing you all keep saying Global Flatline is better than this one, I gave them both - and Goremageddon to have a point of reference - a listen again; so as to finally decide which new Aborted I prefer. I should specify that I never said Necro was better than Flatline.

I see where you guys come from. GF is groovier than NM, the bass lines are almost funky and a lot more present. That shit is heavy at times. The energy in NM seems to wind down starting at the middle as said dead one. But I don't find it too devoid of melody. I noticed one or two solos that seemed to be forced and felt like filling more than anything, like the one in Excremental Veracity.
I also have the impression the production is a bit foggy on NM, compared to GF. But That might be just an impression. One thing that did not change is the overuse of samples. I mean seriously. We get it.

All in all, yeah I prefer GF over NM.

Old Aborted was indeed boring. I also think GF is the best thing they've done.

Never did anything for me. Every time I tried listening to it, I felt the urge to play a Carcass album instead.

Engineering the Dead is really the only one I like, though Archaic Abattoir isn't too shabby.

How come you mention AA and not Goremageddon... Sigh.

Was never really into Goremageddon, sorry =P

First album i've listened to through and through by this band and wow i enjoyed it a lot. Wasn't expecting the more melodic moments such as the intro to "Cenobites". Will definetly give Global Flatline a shot later.

I'll never understand why this thing has lower scores than so many of their other recent albums. This thing kills.

The first album that I've disagreed with the rating. This album is brutal and doesn't feel as forced as some of their previous works.
