Bruh, November 29 cannot come fast enough.

To say this album is eagerly anticipated would be a colossal understatement.

Very great album

The Harvest Floor is still a personal favorite but Death Atlas is extraordinary. Being a member of Cattle Decapitation must be really difficult. Such delivery👌👌👌

Logical evolution from the previous two albums, unfortunatly the band is now a parody of themselves. In my opinion the riffs are predictible, some "melodic" vocals are unbearable, and in general the album lacks of brutality.
The geocide, one day closer to the end of the world, absolute destitute are good songs

Not as strong as their previous 2 albums, but still a decent record. The 3 tracks they released before the album are by far the strongest on this (with 'Finish Them' coming in at 3rd for me).

This album doesn't feature anywhere near as many twists and turns, and some of the riffs are generic. For me though, the strength of the highlights outweigh the overall slight feeling of monotony.

The three advance released tracks were great but w.r.t the rest of the album, it's too soon for me to say.

Scored a 2.5 on AMG though and that's normally a pretty good benchmark.

Oh my god I literally started laughing out loud when the high-metal-elf vocals came in

Why would they ever think those were a good idea? I had to double check to make sure I was still listening to Cattle Decapitation.

That's not a new thing though. If you've listened to Cattle Decap before, why would you be surprised at his shrieked cleans?

So I've learned, it's been awhile since I've sat down and listened. They really kill the vibe for me.

Which is weird as hell considering they're easily the best and most distinct thing about the band.

I don't know about the best thing but it's certainly become a staple ingredient in their recipe. Understandable how divisive an aspect it is though. I haven't heard this one yet and still holding off until I see them live next week just for post-comparison's sake but if it's similar to what they've been doing recently them I'm down.

In my opinion their best. Still incredibly brutal band, but they're also catchy and epic now as well. Progressive elements are present too, love it.

Man, you really kill the vibe of every thread I see you post in. The shrieks are a fantastic edition to the deathgrind experience. I personally think they are some of the most horrific sounding vocals, at certain points, and if more extreme metal bands could incorporate them into their music it would elevate the genre as a whole. If you want the same monotonous cookie monster vocals ad nasum listen to the other 99% of death metal band out there. Cattle fans like variety and versatility.

tl;dr: the album is awesome and Travis Ryan kicks ass as usual.

It takes a big man to apologize, especially online. Now that you salved my wounded heart I can pick up my head continue with my life. Much respect.

The Unerasable Past is very sad.

I wasn't able to connect with "Anthropocene" as much as I did "Monolith" due to lack of vigorousness, but boy I found in abundance in this impressive record.

Highlights: "Bring Back The Plague" and "Death Atlas".

It's a bit too.... umm..... "heavy"

It is the first grind album that I enjoy listening to. I like the fact that has some meloblack elements and different types of vocals.

Right

Not as outright explosive as Anthropocence Era but man what a grower. It's already surpassed Monolith for me.

Despite their previous release, this one have at first listen the "wow effects", but sincerely, that's all, after 2 listening, there's nothing that put me on listening again,it just need 2 listening to collect all mood and feeling.

Their previous album were more time addicted, i can still listening previous album, whilt this one make me get good vibes at first and then stop

Also that "clean" vocals, at first impression i said "wow, amazing and original", but really after listening on all album, on every songs, at the end, that vocals was terrifying

Liked Anthropocene Extinction more than this. This seems to be lacking in heaviness a bit.

Don't get all the hype about this album. Slouching and dragging at times. Could be better.

Anthropocene Extinction just seemed to be another Cattle Decapitation album to me, but this is something else. It's not just technical, it's truly progressive, all while maintaining the brutality they are known for and the mournfulness they've shown on the last few albums. This is not just a collection of songs, but a tragic story.

I'm so surprised! This album is great - in case of incredible vocals, brutal riffs and overall sounding. Really like it and cannot stop listen (awaiting children sounding vocal parts).

For next album, give Travis 'Shards of Glass and Pieces of metal' to gargle with.

First time listening to this band and I'm impressed! Ultra intense riffs, profound and relevant lyrics, and (like CWA mentioned in this thread) a captivating variety in vocal styles!
