I've been partying for this album since last week I think, I've been drinking so much that I literally killed most of my neurons and I can't even spell rihgt...

This album totally deserves all my neurons, I haven't feel this way since "Prowler In The Yard" came out, I don't know if this is better than the aforementioned album, that would be saying a lot, but "Phantomb Limb" seriously rocks harder than "Terrifyer"...you know I almost quit with this band after that album? but some tracks were good, an the girl's boobs were just way too cool to stop hearing it many times in a row...

I feel dizzy now! Can you imagine? I've been partying with this album, the noise killed all the neurons that the booze didn't, so I've been trying to stand up since the third track, damn it this album is so catchy, I think I was mumbling some of the tracks while I was on the can last night, it was like "your leeeegs...are sexy out of conteeeext...out of conteeext" then I heard the song again and I noticed I didn't yelled the "so" bit, I felt so stupid, just like that time I tried to open a can of peas with an old can opener, those things are just fucking archaic, like LP's actually, why in hell someone would release a vinyl if we don't have those phonographs anymore, damn hippies! Vinyl was cool when you were hearing Janis Joplin or Jimmy Hendrix not futuristic music, we are now into nachos, next gen consoles and soft porn, not flowers, free dirty sex and free dirty feet..., so back to the peas, I then just managed to fill the can with holes and I never tasted one single pea inside and that sucked, I had to eat my steak without the garnish and that's just worng dudes...who named the peas in the first place...didn't they notice people could do jokes about pee with peas? it's so stupid, would you name your son Kuck? I don't think so...

So anyway, how come this album is so perfect? People said it doesn't have a concept, dudes no concept?! The album is about a loving couple, the girl dies in flames, the guy then goes directly to the grave and cuts off one of her limbs (the hand actually) and tries to live with it, he even makes love to it, he finally goes totally whacko and ends up killing himself (there are more details and stuff in the booklet)...just read the damn lyrics, it's right there, only "The Machete Twins" and "The Girl In The Slayer Jacket" are "out of conteeeeeext" the rest of the songs have even a chronological concept, try reading them as a whole and you'll see what I mean...a really disturbing but very beautiful story.

"Loathsome" is starting...whoop! there goes another brain-cell, what happens if all our neurons die? The girl in this cover is way hotter than the last girl, that one looked like a freak but she had a nice rack, I remember I once was on the subway and...actually the Mexican subway is really filthy dudes, the floor is sticky and it smells funny...so anyway, there was this bizarre lady with a really disgusting lip eating ice-cream, I thought...oh wow! Despite her freakyness she still wants to eat some ice-cream, she wasn't hot at all though....I just can't get enough of this CD, it's the best record I've heard this year, I'm not kidding...What else I can do now...Ok let's write that "Xenosapien" review...

Best Tracks: "Heathen Temple", "Loathsome", Deathtripper", "Through Crime Spree"

I disagree with some of the things that were said, but it doesn't matter because it's Pig Destroyer so you know it's great.

This album is one of the best I've picked up in a while, definitely in the top three best albums of the year so far. Pig Destroyer just doesn't stop amazing me.

Pig Destroyer are really, really famous in the metal scene! Listen to them! Go listen to songs on Myspace or something!

Grindcore is certainly not something I listen to much, but really, this album simply rocks. After listening to this disc, this review completely makes sense

Well, I've always liked it you know....I just thought that someone would be able to top it. There aren't too many albums coming out that has a chance of beating this album, except the Stoma/Screaming Afterbirth split cd that is taking for fucking ever to be released.

I fucking LOVE this album! PxDx has never released a bad album (my opinion) They just keep getting better and better. This is why they are my fav band of all time. Even though this album just came out not to long ago really...I cannot wait for the next album whenever that may be. If you have not bought this cd. Go out and get it!!! This album is a 10/10!

I'm giving Pig Destroyer another chance, and I thought I might download this album. So I'm reading and I'm realizing, something went wrong when you wrote this. This is by far one of my favorite reviews on metalstorm. XD
