Rating: This is one of my top 3 favorite albums by Cattle Decapitation (and it's probably also in the top 10 overall) and in my opinion, it is a masterpiece. There are few things that don't quite add up: the production is very dark and the guitar has a very peculiar sound, the drums are still very high in the mix (although less than in the previous "To Serve Man") and the vocals are sometimes a bit repetitive. The rest is perfect, the riffs are there (and they are really special) the bass is audible (although not always as much as I would like) and the voice... Well, Travis's voice is impossible. No one has ever managed to replicate it and no one has ever had such a great ability to vary (which he demonstrated only in subsequent albums) and no one has ever managed to transition from such a deep growl to such a piercing scream in such a short time. The lyrics are violent and confirm our intentions: the human race has already made too many mistakes and it's time to pay. They probably demonstrated their desire to experiment starting from the next "Karma.Bloody.Karma" even though this album remains a masterpiece of modern metal. The final Lips & Assholes picks up slaughterhouse noises for a good 9 minutes and makes you promptly side with the Cattle, managing to add a touch of noise and experimental to an already rather noisy album. Finally, the cover shows a cow defecating human pieces and fully represents the depression and viciousness present in this album. It was, of course, promptly censored.
Tracklist and Lyrics
06 Bukkake Tsunami (04:33)
Overwhelmed
Overrun
Oversaturated
Overpopulated
Imagine the earth as a corpse
That commited adultery
Sustenance for its lifeforms
But turned its back on humanity
A giant flood of homo sapiens
Of every race and creed
Upon the surface - billions of ovum
By the gallons - germinate the seed
Germinate. Cultivate. Ejaculate.
Populate. Much too late. Suffocate.
Testosteronal tidal wave disperses the estrogen
As billions of sperm cells come alive on your skin
Slithering
Squirming
Exfoliating
Uprooting bacteria still alive in the pores
Embedded memories
Humans masturbating
...to no end!
Cover the world
Continue to duplicate
Multiplay and integrate
And eventually dominate
Whilst everything disintegrates
Gradually decimated
We only pretend to play dead
We come alive
We see what we want
We take it and leave
Bio-pirates on a sea of disease
Beat them, spay them, kill them
They have no right to go on
-punishment in ejaculate, humiliation immaculate
bleed them, heat them, eat them
excrete them, delete them
whatever you please, destroy it and leave
To no end <i>[x3]
Procreation infinitus
Hope and future diminishes
To no end <i>[x3]
Bastards and brainstems and reproduction
A butter knife away from becoming a twat
A giant flood of homo sapiens
Of every race and creed
Upon the surface... billions of ovum
A practiced art of breeding feces
Germinate
Cultivate
Impregnate
Populate
Saturate
Procreate
Dominate
Ejaculate to suffocate
Overwhelming
Overrunning
Oversaturation
Overpopulation
Passive ecological terrorists
Lingering
Lurking
And finally usurping
A slow global suicide just by being alive
We are all rapists and molesters in the end.
10 The Earthling (03:27)
Between the cracks
Of time and space infinite black
A species, a disease
The planet earth has fleas
A tapeworm
A parasite
Microscopic organisms that crawl on your face at night
Resident flora - human host to mites burrowing in the sores of
Oil ducts, glands; epidermal crabs take a stab at the dermis
And underlying flab
And the staunch of bouch writhing in the raunch
Of panties stretched taut hot on the crotch
Upon a look inside
One can observe its functions
Quite beautiful, actually
Unfortunately, it's human - the earthling
Prey that mankind comes to a stop
Bottom feeder worked it's way to the top
The primaordial waste which we're from
Look at it and what we have done
Bag of organs - sputtering mucous generator -
saliva on skin - sniff your own aroma
...disturbing...
...disgusting...
...revolting...
structure of cells
best to have not metastasized
into this barbaric creature
that you know as yourself
...and these things,
these goddamn ugly earthlings
they tried to put a face on creation
they invented a morality crutch
to hide us from our own nature
one of virulence and futility
through abstinence and humility
how dare they hide the truth
Our job is to destroy
Let no man go unemployed
Do what you do best - kill everything.
Why stop at innocent beings?
Kill everything.
Self destruct - an instinct for extinction
Kill everything.
Armageddon wasn't only a dream
Kill everything.
The most disgusting thing this world's ever seen
The earthling.
You're all ingrates
Waste of time and space
Begin with the self
And destroy all.
