I agree with Redstingray1977, there is a slight difference between the FDR vinyl and FDR cd and the cd I also think has a more pronounced guitar sound so fans of this epic slab of Death Metal should get both formats because each one has unique characteristics that the other does not.

The interludes may sound a bit too loud at the first listen but the album sounds really great. True to the original ! Good job !

Sounds pretty good, better than CD. I'm not blown away by sound by any means, though. "Inpropagation" skipped at about 3:30. Adjusted tone arm counterweight, which fixed skip, but there's still a loud pop. Biggest improvement in sound quality on this vs CD is actually the interludes between songs. My dream would be for this album to get a high-end half speed master release a la MoFi or Abbey Road. This isn't that (they don't claim that it is). I was hoping to be wowed like I was with Rhino Vinyl Sabbath reissues, but I wasn't.

The first copy I had had a skip during the solo on inpropogation. After several rounds of cleaning and carefully brushing a toothpick through the affected area I managed to stop it skipping. I got a 2nd copy sent out and it had several skips during the first song but after washing in my Knosti I have no problems with it. There is obviously something a little off with these pressings. They seem highly sensitive.

Excellent sound, clear and balanced. - If you don't know the music and still consider Slayer unrivaled in extreme metal, check this out.

Yes the Century Media reissues of Earaches catalogue uses the same Full Dynamic Range pressings with permission from Earache.

Sounds really good. What else do i need to say? Is that 10 words yet?

The Limited Edition with Postcard-Set is now listed separately here: https://www.discogs.com/de/Carcass-Necroticism-Descanting-The-Insalubrious/release/9466627

The definitive pressing of Necroticism as far as I'm concerned. DR11, remastered in full dynamic range, with some cool bonus tracks. The FDR vinyl has some irritating inner groove distortion, at least my copy did. The sound is extremely similar between the two, but the guitars sound a bit more forward on the CD. I'm sure many people overlook this CD in favour of the vinyl, but that's a slight mistake IMHO.

Does anyone know if this 2015 reissue uses the same full dynamic range master as the 2013 releases?

Surprisingly, yes it does! It even says on the label ''MOSH042FDR'' FDR-full dynamic range.

this, my friends, is how you fucking make death metal

In my copy there is some kind of mishap in track A3 where needle gets stuck. There is no visible marks on vinyl, and my record player is good (pro-ject), so wondering if there is some kind of mishap in vinyl print.

saheko In my copy there is some kind of mishap in track A3 where needle gets stuck.

A similar thing happen to me with Swansong. There was a piece of paper stuck in the Vinyl so it would loudly pop and skip on one song.

Not on mine, I have a very good copy, dead flat and quiet.

LP came with four postcards inside. One of each band member in an alternate shot from their respective deaths on the cover..

Does anyone know anything about a clear vinyl version i saw for sale on ebay. I also say a green/black version once. Are these bootlegs?

The most brilliant Carcass release IMHO. All aspects of this album are bang on - Insane riffs and hooks throughout, wicked pounding drums, and vocals that will make your stomach churn. Absolutely no weak songs in the bunch. I've always said that if I had to take one album on a desserted island with me, it would be this one. It's one of those albums that gets better with each listen!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is history of extreme metal. Grindcore on its full potential here. How to describe this? First of all the lyrics are something od pure poetry. Think about the darkest Poe or the weird ending of some Lovecraft short novels. There are a lot of nearly out-of-use words that put these lyrics under some serious language consideration. Apart from this, the stories are wicked, seriously... they do not deal with the religious themes, as many metal bands, but with the material issue of human life. Just forget useless rants about the Antichrist. The pervious releases of these fine UK guys where something out of my comprehension (pure noise). But this Necroticism thing is one of the highest points reached by extreme metal artists, both for instrumental execution and voice duets (an hysteric high-pitched plus a gurgling low one).

Some people don't realise that Carcass was started as a vegan hardcore band. This release sees more of their vegan politics, where they are putting the humans in the positions that animals are put in: for example the song "Pedigree Butchery" where humans are cut up for pet food, or "Incarnate Solvent Abuse" where instead of horses being made into glue, it is human corpses being made into glue (for solvent abuse).
