One of their best ever, definitely! God of Emptiness is a masterpiece IMO!

Yes, I already have this and most of Morbid angel albums with me!
good review for a good album.

THE best ever, I enjoy every track off this album...Trey Azgthoth slays in this release.

This is one of my favorite death metal albums ever. Rapture and Blood On My Hands are my favorite songs, but I also really enjoy Angel of Disease.

Trey is the man.

Its strange, I find all Morbid Angel albums boring except Altars of Madness, which I happen to really really enjoy. For me MA is Altars of Madness. Must say though that this is their best effort after AoM

Their best!

Id agree, this is probably the best Morbid Angel album Ive heard so far.. I agree with the review, every track in this album speaks for itself. Its an amazing album, and one that definately deserves to be in every death metal fans collection...

Wow, I bought this a couple days ago and just listened to it, was kinda disappointed. Most people to whom I usually have similar taste rated it 9 or 10, but only The Lion's Den stood out to me. Also thought the production was a bit off... I'd give it an 8 - 8.5 - it doesn't hit me like Legion, Heartwork or End Complete/World Demise do
edit 5 years later - rating for this is around the same yet my impression of the album is a tiny bit higher... I generally don't rate stuff so highly anymore. World Demise should be removed from my old last sentence, and "/ stick with" should immediately follow "hit" ...and Lion's Den has fallen to tracks 7 & 8 (and perhaps 9 & 10... it's still hard to choose any over anything else, apart from songs 2-4 - World is the most boring of 'em all... though every now & then, I like what little melody it does have)

I actually think the production is decent, and better than probably 90% of death metal albums. Try giving Blood on my hands, Sworn to the black, and Angel of disease another spin.

Yeah, Angel of Disease is my second favourite but the writing (musically speaking - lyrics are something else) feels lower quality than what's on the earlier releases. There's nothing as striking as Evil Spells, Abominations etc

WHY has no one mentioned the fact that this masterpiece was produced by Flemming Rasmussen who worked with Metallica?

Because the production is something very important but when you hear that album the production is the last thing you'll notice. Basically you can't notice anything, your brain is cut in pieces...

Good answere! I have nothing further to say.

I'm getting this album for Christmas and I can't wait. I've only heard Rapture, World of Shit (The Promise Land), and God of Emptiness off of this album and I think that all of those songs kicked ass.

Good album. Angel of Disease is the best song.

This album has some of my favorite riffs of all time. Most of them are a bit slow by today's standards but that obviously shouldn't matter.

This is probably the best death metal album of all time.

I love this album but i cant help but feel "Angel of Disease" should be taken off the album, for me it just seems so out of place when played with the rest of the album.

agree 100%. it's horribly, uh, pleasant and totally awkward compared to the rest of the album. it's almost the "pop" old school death metal plan in action.

I thought i was alone on that lol . Had the song been on Altars of Madness it would have made more sense IMO (Aparrently it was recorded years earlier) , I like the song but most of the time i end up skipping it because it is so out of place compared to the rest of the songs.

Woah, its been a looong time since Ive heard this one! I think its a good little album, although its definitely weaker to me than it's predecessor "Blessed Are The Sick".

The original version of Angel of Disease can be heard on 'Abominations of Desolation', recorded back in 1986!

It's certainly catchy but IMO that's not a bad thing - Morbid Angel have shown a strong sense of catchiness and groove throughout their career, along with the more brutal stuff. The song is still totally Morbid Angel sounding.. Part of their appeal is their diversity.

Yeh i agree with that dont get me wrong, But it is mostly the production of that song that does it for me it just sticks out like a sore thumb and it really messes with the flow of the album ..... still though i like the song, But i still think that the album would be better off without it and IMO it should have been on Altars of Madness

It even sounds like Mike Browning era vocals to me. Curious, I don't think I've seen him credited on the album
