Description of Deliverance:
Deliverance evokes the sounds of a kinder, gentler era of heavy rock, a time before there was moshing. In those days, if you wanted to end up prone on a crowded coliseum floor and get stomped on, you just drank and smoked until you passed out where you stood. With this record Corrosion of Conformity, one of the most influential and caustic punk bands of the mid-'80s, make a dramatic shift toward groovy, Southern-fried metal á la Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and ZZ Top, and they do it quite convincingly. Fans of their previous releases may not think that's a good thing, but this album might snare a whole new crowd of devotees. --Adem Tepedelen
Deliverance Reviews:
ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK CD'S EVER 
2009-06-19 - I can't even count how many people I have turned this CD on to. Everyone I know owns this. "Albatros" and "Broken Man" alone defined the new wave of Stoner Rock that was influenced by Sabbath/Skynyrd.
This is more than a CD, it's a feeling. COC, CROWBAR, DOWN, and DOZER are some of my everyday listening. Buy this CD, you will become addicted like me and all my friends. One of the most timeless recordings ever made!
Top 25
2009-06-15 - This is easily one of the top 25 albums of all times. It might even make it into my top 10. The grooves on this album are incredible! Picture Black Sabbath and Lynryd Skynryd stuck in a blender and COC comes out. Reed Mulllins is a great drummer and Pepper sounds alot like Ronnie Van Zant reincarnated! This is a great album that will satisfy the Southern Rock/Metal Monster in all of us. If you ever wondered what Skynryd would sound like today buy this album!!
Deliverance by Corrosion of Conformity
2008-12-21 - My son suggested this CD and I was not disappointed. Since this band is not mainstreamed in my area I ordered it from Amazon.
Solid - Thick - Chunky - Groove
2008-07-09 - Scored this Lp a good decade back, but had to throw a review up, as the least i could do was type a quick review on it, to praise the dudes who slapped it together. Spewin' Reed M. aint behind the kit no more for these dudes, but none the less Pepper Keenan & Woodrow W. pull out all the stops on guitar, with great support from Mike D. on bass. Songs like Albatross, & Shake Like You are instant winners with catch hooks that tune you in to the end of each track. To my surprise were the quiet little interlude tracks, (this trait does appear in the sonic works of the supergroup Down also), so i would have to tip my hat to Pepper for these efforts. A must listen before your time comes to an end on this planet.
Southern Fried Metal At Its Best
2008-03-01 - "Deliverance" sees COC leaving their old thrash crossover style completely behind. Pepper Keenan ( of Down) entered the band and really took control of this album, laying down his superb vocals and song writing ability. The sound changed to more southern styled metal, akin to a lighter Pantera with more melodic vocals and the odd thundering Sabbath inspired riff. While this didn't go down with the hardcore fans of the band's old thrash style, it drew in a wider metal and grunge fan base.
There is a host of great rocking tracks, all enveloping that southern swagger and a great bent for melody. My favourites include the grooving opener "Heaven Is Not Overflowing", the slow-burner "Albatross", "Clean My Wounds" which is one of the band's most catchy and well known songs. There's the brooding doom of "Broken Man", the fun groove of the title track and my personal favourite "Seven Days" which showcases the most powerful and booming chorus the band has ever put out. I'm also a big fan of the slower songs, especially the closer "Pearls Before Swine" which is really quite menacing and ends the album on a poignant and intense note.
"Deliverance" is a consistently great southern rock/metal album with a host of melody and some great heavy riffs. Probably my favourite release from COC, and a great place to start for newcomers.
