Cannibal Corpse – Fucked With A Knife Lyrics 17 years ago
"oh please, ever heard of the rose period or blue period. "

Actually, yes. I was specifically thinking of Picasso's blue period when I posted. It's a shame your argument automatically loses its logic once you take into consideration that Picasso's artwork generally varied a great amount. In fact, your argument is a paradox in itself. If Picasso went through more than one period, that would mean he would have to experiment, wouldn't it?

I didn't claim Kurt's lyrics are "deep and insightfu", in fact, I think some of it is sung only because it "sounds cool". The difference between Nirvana and Cannibal Corpse is the how much room they offer for interpretation, which is an artform in itself. Please, enlighten me on how lyrics like "I will kill you" offer this to the listener.

"nirvana is built around sadness and despair"
You don't know that.

"Slayer as well as Corrosion of Conformity and include politically driven lyrics"

I don't CARE about Slayer. I don't hold anything against metal, in fact I enjoy certain types of it. I just don't understand how screaming about raping a woman with a knife is "thoughtful".

"and death should make someone that much happier to be alive. "

Congratulations, you just broke the retard-o-meter. You want to be happy to be alive? Spend 72 hours in Iraq.

"dont comeback talking about referencing CC and not other metal because you cant do that."

I don't see why I can't do that. I personally believe Cannibal Corpse is an embarrassment to metal.

"you still dont explain how there is balance in what is excepted as art such as pacaso"

Picasso actually had different emotions in his work. He even said so. He took in the ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF HUMAN EMOTION. He didn't paint with one colour, with one palette, or with one brushstroke. He experimented. How does Cannibal Corpse do that? By changing the way a character dies in a song?


"there lyrics are built around complaining about the sad shape of things but advocating no real action, thats whiney. "

How do you know? You're not God. You can't tell me that you know, for sure what Kurt sings about. Cannibal Corpse is NOT. Very precise, very clear, very brutal. Not much room for interpretation. If that's the kind of music you like, fine. But refrain from looking at Cannibal Corpse as if they were the underground death metal gods. They are fairly well known, and get a decent amount of coverage from 'Much Loud'. There's a lot more to life than just death.

“ at least metal calls to tear down religion and at times the goverment that has screwed everything up so badly. “

Cannibal Corpse doesn’t even touch on Politics, what are you talking about?

"i dont remeber calling cannibal corpse art. "

Oh, so you think it's good music, but it isn't art?
Hmm...

"and how is pacaso's paintings balanced?"

The whole point of art, I think is to make people experience a perception. There's supposed to be brain activity involved. Does Cannibal Corpse have that? Can they make you stop and think, or learn about things or people?

"and cradle of filth is no more balanced than cannibal corpse. they sing about praising satan and necrophillia so how can you scold CC for doing the same?"

First of all, Cradle of filth don't sing about praising satan and necrophillia, and I can show you many lyrics that are considerably different. There's a lot of variety in Cradle's old music. As for calling Nirvana"whiney", I suggest you listen to the album 'Nervermind' and note the "pop tunes" that Kurt himself enjoyed. The fans, for the mostpart, are extremely pretentious and whiney, yes.

"in fact the majority of your favorited bands malleable focus pretty much on one side. there isnt anymore balance in what you listen to than there is in this. "

Funny, you didn't mention Opeth or A Perfect Circle. Why don't you try to decipher those and tell me how 'close-minded' I am? It's amusing, most Cannibal Corpse fans hate Cradle of Filth and scoff at the fact that Cradle is considered 'Black Metal', and here you are telling me that Cradle of filth is much like cannibal corpse!

"and if you check out some of my bands you will find bands like killswitch engage who sing about the equality of all people ..."

I don't care about your other favorite music. I challenge the fact that you enjoy Cannibal Corpse.

Cannibal Corpse – Fucked With A Knife Lyrics 17 years ago
"you call this music one sided like the bands you listen cover anything more than the lighter side of humanity, your music is just as narrow it just focuses on a different side and you still didnt declare any bands you like so i cant prove its garbage but if you listen to bands like good charlette and simple plan your music is "

So you admit to the fact that Cannibal Corpse is one-sided, that's all I wanted to hear. And your assumptions that what I listen to represents the "lighter" side of humanity is based on no fact. I don't listen to "light" or "dark" music, I listen to what I think is good. Just because I dislike Cannibal Corpse doesn't automatically pass me off as a tie-wearing Avril Lavigne wannabe. If you want to see the type of music I listen to, you can go to my 'site interaction' section, and click on 'Browse all' under 'Artists'. I often hear Cannibal Corpse fans call those who do not like Cannibal Corpse "good charlotte" fans. It's very easy to stay inside your pseudo-hardcore shell, thinking that your music is the best, and call everything else 'mainstream'. And though most mainstream music is complete garbage, there is still a rare trait of decency left. I agree, most rap music is garbage; it is now only a sell-out version of the true roots of hip-hop; that is, social issues, society, conformity, etc.


The problem I have with Cannibal Corpse is the same problem I have with emo music, the same thing I see wrong in Good Charlotte, the same repetitive whining Avril Lavigne frequently blurts out. I don't see anything wrong with being "dark" but there needs to be balance. Without balance, it's no longer an art form.

Yeah, thanks for reading my profile to figure out I'm still in highschool.


"wut i mean is it is people like u who forget about these emotions until it is to late to come to terms with them, better to get it out in a song or pit than in an office building but i watch for u in the news"
I'm not denying people have emotions like those depicted in Cannibal Corpse's lyrics. That's natural. My argument is based on the wider spectrum. As humans we're capable of destruction, like Cannibal Corpse depicts. But we’re are also capable of MUCH more. Why only look at one side? That's extremely narrow.

"happiness and joy dont cause murder and rape"
What the hell are you talking about?

"oh malleable wuts a band u like so i can post stupid negative things about them im sure youd love that"
So what bothers you more: the fact that I posted arguments that actually make logical sense, or the fact that you spent a considerable amount of effort replying to a high school student’s arguments? If you can post reasonable points about why the music I listen to is garbage, I'll listen to you.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP "malleable"! HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY WORDS AND COMPARE THEM TO HITLER YOU PIECE OF SHIT."

If you had any shred of cell activity in your brain, you could clearly see that I was NOT comparing your words to Hitler, but comparing a "two wrongs don't make a right" situation to another. I will break this down for you since you don't seem to have the mental awareness to understand my point.

You said, "you guys just dont get it. The lyrics are supposed to be an over the top gorefest thats the point. The band is called fucking Cannibal Corpse stupid."

In reply to this, I stated that just because a band uses a gimmick such as gore, sex, or violence, it does not make it acceptable. I'm afraid to say that you cannot see the forest through the trees. Look at the bigger picture: even if they don't do the things they "sing" about, they still sing about it. Why? There is MUCH more to life than just death.

"I GUESS YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE HOLOCAUST DENIERS IF YOU THINK CANNIBAL CORPSE IS DOING THE SAME BECAUSE CANNIBAL CORPSE NEVER RAPED OR KILLED ANYONE."

Hah. Your argument reminded me of Stephen Colbert at the Colbert report. Just because I use an insane fascist in an example, I must be one too. Stephen Colbert said that it's a positive thing that Mr. Bush, the president of the US only has a 33% approval rating, because Hitler had a 90% approval rating, and therefore Mr. Bush is nothing like Hitler. What a ridiculous rationale you proposed.

"AS FAR AS SINGING ABOUT GORE TO SELL RECORDS NO ONE IN THE BAND THOUGHT THEY WOULD EVER BE BIG ENOUGH TO LIVE OFF OF THE BAND WITHOUT ANOTHER JOB LET ALONE HAVE GORE HELP THEIR SALES."

Prove it. Give me scientific evidence of this.
And let's not forget... they _are_ fairly well known. Why, I wonder?

AND IT IS THE PRIMAL EMOTIONS PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT AND IT IS THOSE EMOTIONS THAT CAUSE RAPE AND MURDER IN REAL LIFE

This has got to be the most ignorant thing I have heard in a while; and I attend HIGHSCHOOL. You're telling me that our society forgets about primal emotions? Are you completely retarded? Everywhere I look I see sex, sex, sex, more sex, more violence, gore, sex, then the advertisement using sex.

"AND IT IS THOSE EMOTIONS THAT CAUSE RAPE AND MURDER IN REAL LIFE "
Really? And how do you know this? Have you conducted any experiments? Do you have any data? If so, I’d like to see it.

Wow, NothingMan. You seem to have a colourful vocabulary for someone who listens to music you yourself admit it is a gimmick. Do you honestly think I didn't know that?

While I hear "whoosh" sounds, the oscilloscope attached to your mind reveals very little activity. I'm quite aware that Cannibal Corpse chooses to use boring, repetitive imagery to sell records. It's exactly the same as Ashlee Simpson writhing around on a couch on a video, or another "look at my bling, yo" song written by 'fitty', or a mohawk and tattoos used by Good Charlotte.

That's doesn't make it O.K.

Society now seems to be fueled by self-righteous, pleasurable activities instead of things that require intelligence. Humans all have basic instincts, that's why sex, materialism and gore work so well. It's very easy to entertain people using these, and that is exactly what you admitted to. Therefore, we must conclude that Cannibal Corpse does NOT reflect the whole spectrum of human emotion, but only very primal ones.

Megiddo, I understand what you're saying. Humans are sensitive enough to be bent under constant psychological re-enforcement; but it's simply unrealistic to ask people to stop criticising this pseudo-artistic garbage.

I believe that we've fallen off track here. We should be able to criticise music in an intelligent and empirical way. Unfortunately, a small percentage of our population has the mental capacity to use this technique, let alone youth.

And as for the "talent card" pulled by Ddadutta, I would like to propose one of Freud's theories on Defence Mechanisms, specifically Rationalization. Rationalization is the act of serving a reason for an action one whishes to conceal. For example, if you know that the band you listen to consists of monotonous, insipid vocals, you would term the vocals "powerful". Instead of mentioning the repetitive guitar riffs and arid content, you choose to mention "inhuman drumming", etc.

I'd like to leave with a quote sung by a good artist which I think is fitting at this moment: "Your mind is empty and spacious --like the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racist..."

Yes, and Hitler was just trying to be dramatic and flamboyant when he started that whole "Holocaust" thing, really.

The full version of Purity's story can be found at http://crimescene.com/purity/the_story.html.

I'm not sure, but I think Purity uses 'God' as a metaphor for her sister. Her sister, Valerie, is murdered and therefore, "Gone, gone without a trace. Gone."
The story she tells is chuck-full of metaphors, and if you read into her story and murder on crimescene, you'll begin to understand them more.

A Perfect Circle – The Nurse Who Loved Me (Failure cover) Lyrics 19 years ago
There's something odd I don't get about this song.

"Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping."

I'm sure you've all heard the idiom "apple of my eye", meaning "the person I am interested in".
Aren't the lyrics implying that the 'nurse' has fallen out of love with someone? This has been bothering me for a while.
