This album marks the beginning of Cannibal Corpse's modern era, with cleaner production and darker atmospheres. The album flows and is easy to listen to, but by the end, very little really caught my attention, and nothing stuck in my head.
A decent album, but nothing more.

This is the album I discovered the band with way back in 1998: a small gem of symphonic/progressive metal, even if it suffers slightly from a lack of cohesion in the second half.
It does, however, contain some of my favorite songs by the band, like Church of the Machine and Through the Looking Glass.

With Ultraviolence, the artist abandons sampling to embrace a darker, more psychedelic sound with distorted guitars and smoky drums.
A cohesive and mature work that, however, slows down a bit in the second half of the album.

In my opinion, this is their best album: here the band finds the best formula for mixing thrash, prog and groove metal, creating instrumentally complex but accessible songs with a higher average quality.
