Bloodthirst Reviews:
The way death metal should be 
2006-09-04 - I'll admit I listen to a lot of heavy music, but I'm not too big into death metal. Cannibal Corpse for me though is a favorite that I can't just pass up. I've heard a lot of death metal bands, a lot of them sounding alike and very much the same, and some kinda weak. Corpse is the exception. Fast, pummeling, energetic, each album: a soundtrack to a riot. Real death metal. The guitars lacerate, the vocals courtesy of George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher chew you up and spit you out, and the drums and bass pound you into dust as the title of the first song on this album suggests, no pun intended. Every musician shines on each release including guitarists Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen (his spot now being occupied by Rob Barrett), and bassist Alex Webster.
Bloodthirst Is Everything Death Metal Should Be (For Beginners) 
2006-06-01 - Of course, if you have ever listened to any death metal then you have heard of Cannibal Corpse and how disgusting they are and blah blah blah. All of this is absolute B.S. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher grunts his way through this whole CD and you can't understand him 95% of the time. Bloodthirst is by far not Cannibal Corpse's best release, but it sure is heavy, fast and catchy. It is said that "Hammer Smashed Face" is CC's most mainstream song. That makes absolutely no sense since Chris Barnes moans and grunts even more indecipherable vocals than Fisher. I think a good song for a CC newbie might be "The Spine Splitter" or "Blowtorch Slaughter." Bloodthirst begins with "Pounded Into Dust" and then the record takes off from there, never letting up in intensity. Every song is very good. CC has improved very much over the years. The guitar playing is superb, the bass is in time and quite audible, the drumming has got to be some of the best in the business. It is so ridiculously fast and pounding. Vocals are very good, but I have to admit if you're not used to the gutteral grunting of grinding death metal it begins to grate on you ears. I highly reccomend Bloodthirst as a starting point for all CC newbs. It is like a break-in CD, onve you like tghis CC becomes a lot more likeable. And for all of the dumbasses who review Cannibal Corpse with 1 star I wish you would just go back to revirwing Coldplay, U2 and Green Day. One guy labeled himself as a Rock/Metal fanatic and then went on to give several CC, metallica, Slayer, Slipknot and Morbid Angel releases one star. After clicking his reviews button you find that he is really into techno and easy listening [...]. Good God. Cannibal Corpse Rocks, buy this album!
Like Other Reviewers Have Said... 
2006-02-03 - ... this is a solid Cannibal Corpse album, but offers nothing new or particularly invigorating. Everything sounds great: production, musicianship, vocals. All the tracks are entertaining. "Pounded into Dust", "Dead Human Collection", "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty" and "Blowtorch Slaughter" being the best tracks. Unfortunately there are no tracks of the magnitude of say "Hammer Smashed Face", "Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead" or "Devoured by Vermin". As such this is an entertaining but non essential record by the band. Newcomers should start off with "Tomb of the Mutilated", "The Bleeding" and "Vile". "Live Cannibalism" is also a good place to start.
Meh...
2005-12-03 - This particular Cannibal Corpse album sounded uninspired and formulaic to me, plus there was not enough variation in the song structures. If i remember right it was just WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!(end song),(next song)WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! and so on, and so on, until they had enough songs for an album. This one got SOLD! I much prefer Gallery of Suicide (their best imo) and Gore Obsessed.
Jesus Christ... people are so stupid.
2005-10-20 - OK, let's see here. Metal isn't metal unless you can sing along to it (this I'm not going to bother debunking, it's so damn idiotic...)? These guys have no talent? Same record as their last one? Lyrics are about gore?
Who the s**t buys a metal CD for the lyrics? Do you HONESTLY care about the lyrics? What the hell is wrong with you, in that case? Extreme metal involves the extremes of life. I think of Cannibal Corpse lyrics as funny, personally, because they're about as serious as dang A.C. Of COURSE this is the same record as their last one! Your POINT? AC/DC's been releasing the same album for thirty years, nobody seems to care so much about that.
No talent? BAHAHAHAHAHA. OK, why don't you actually look up the music to this CD? Find a tab for Unleashing the Bloodthirsty. Does that look like simple-simple-1-2-3-clap-your-hands-Raffi-idiocy to you? Please.
Sorry 'bout that, to the actual review.
Bloodthirst is a great album, simply. It's a Cannibal Corpse album. You know what you're going to get: downtuned power-chord riffing that uses many parts of the fretboard, mid-paced death metal drumming, growled/screamed lyrics about gore and killing and raping and whatnot, subtly technical interludes and under-verse riffs, and heavy moshing/headbanging factor. That's what you get. No surprises, no problems.
If you like any post-Barnes CC record, you'll dig this immensely. If you don't like death metal... then what the hell are you doing here? Go listen to something else and leave the CC fans alone.
Ta,
Nephren-Ka.
