Talk:Cannibal Corpse

message: Someone wrote that the band is ending in 2011. This is not true, as Cannibal Corpse have stated that they are releasing an album in 2012. Furthermore, the "references" were from 2004... It's vandalism. I tried to remove it, but it was reverted...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.52.166 (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Band ending

message: Plenty of people have said that Cannibal Corpse has "out-done" Slayer in terms of album covers, song topics, etc. It's all a matter of opinion. But, if there was no Slayer, then where would CC (and countless other bands) have gotten their inspirations from?

I don't think anyone would call Cannibal Corpse's music "complex."
Ok. What does this establish? Give some examples of their music being simplistic.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.255.223.111 (talk • contribs) .
Please sign comments by typing ~~~~, so it is clear who's saying what.  (See WP:TPG.)  Regarding the complexity question, CC's music is extremely complex by general music standards (compared to, say, the Rolling Stones or Britney Spears), but perhaps not particularly complex by death metal standards (compared to, say, Bolt Thrower or Carcass (band)).  (I'd be inclined to say their music is fairly complex even by death metal standards, though.)  dbtfztalk 16:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference for Evisceration Plague 

message: A few things that need to be improved in this article:
*Is there any actual quote in which Bob Dole admits he never heard CC, as claimed in the "Publicity" section?  I couldn't find one, not even after spending over an hour on Google combing through back issues of U.S. News and the New York Times.  The only sources that repeated this claim were published interviews with CC band members, the band's own website, various fan sites, and a grand total of one magazine article:  a Stylus Magazine review of Kill in April 2006, in which this claim was stated without proof.  Currently, this article's "source" for this claim is a poorly written, sloppily designed fan page on Geocities.  Until someone can present a reliable source for this, I'm going to delete this potential libel from the article.
*The "Lyrical themes" section, which is almost entirely quotes from band members, takes up about 25% of the article.  This is ridiculous.  The quotes aren't even formatted properly; because of their size they should be block quotes.  For now, I'm going to leave the quotes intact, but someone needs to add more information to the biography to justify the bloated quotes.
Otherwise, this is a semi-decent article.  I'll leave the real heavy-duty editing to people who like Cannibal Corpse more than I do.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huntthetroll (talk • contribs) 04:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Cannibal Corpse]]

message: The almost entire backbone of this article is simply reports of their controversy with the "biography" section not even reaching half the length of it and is ultimately unorthodox for an article of a musical ensemble dating back to 1988 and maintaining a high priority on WikiProject Metal to be in such a state. It may take a while, but I suggesting expanding to eventually morph the "biography" section into a history section while having the same album-to-album history format as many of the other famous musical groups are formatted on Wikipedia. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem that an article for Cannibal Corpse is even nearly that adequate if all there is to be said in an encyclopedia about them is the controversy they've gained. -- GunMetal Angel 16:09, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
