I bought it on thick vinyl when I was a medallion collector.

Very nice, but the debut remains unbeatable.

Beautiful, I've always liked it (almost) as much as the previous two, 5 definite stars.

I think it’s their last great work; from there on, it’s a decline (at least in my view...)

The next one is a nice album, but I agree this is the last at their peak, still for me.

I also like Cunning Stunts, especially the suite Dabsong Conshirtoe.

That suite is beautiful.

Waterloo Lily is simply better than the most acclaimed In the land of Grey and Pink. The tracks just hit harder and are more beautiful, without taking anything away from the other album in question, which is still great! For me, the subsequent For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night is also good, especially C'thlu Thlu, the end of side A, which is truly a badass piece.

Luckily, they made a comeback in '91, because this one and the next are quite (definitely very) weak.

I respond to both colleagues, with a certain dose of anger. This album, the debut of Carcass, along with the following "Symphonies of Sickness," represents, together with "Scum" by Napalm Death, the beginning, the birth of a new sound in the extreme realm. Grindcore played and produced deliberately poorly, terribly, but that has pointed a way forward for a myriad of bands that have drawn inspiration from these rotten, oppressive sounds with lyrics that are almost beyond comments for their brutality. For me, this is absolutely GREAT MUSIC, a punch in the gut that shakes mind and body...GENITAL GRINDER...Then, as my friend ziltoid says, with "Necroticism..." things change: be it for a production worthy of the name, be it for the arrival of that sacred monster Michael Amott on guitar, be it for the shift towards more distinctly Death Metal sounds, Carcass reaches their undeniable masterpiece. Anyway, the first two albums of the band are, for me, two absolute gems...WOW...

my favorite from Cat!

Personally, I wouldn't have included the "maybe" :)

One of my favorite movies, and my favorite by Chaplin. Monstrous.

Here, I know nothing about these except their name. I talked about it with Hj some time ago, it's on the recovery list...

Back then I paid a fortune for it, now it's easily available because BGO has reissued it... great album.

There was also the compilation that included all of this along with three really cool bonus tracks. That collection was a gem ("Song to Comus," what else could it be titled?).

BGO, like Repertoire and Esoteric, are still the only labels that go hunting for the hidden gems of the past. I have many records from these labels, and they are also low-priced. I'll probably get the Comus as well, so them too...

What can I say? One of my all-time favorite albums. Folk that's the wildest, most acid, and visionary. Esoteric...

"Grin" was a frightening album.

I have the entire discography but I don't remember Grin very well; in fact, I mentioned it because I just gave it a spin today. At this point, you’ve piqued my curiosity: thanks for the mention. I'm going to listen to it again...

"Grin" is a masterpiece. Very challenging and experimental. You need to dive into it. Definitely check it out.
