I don’t think it’s fair to compare Heartwork to Metallica’s black album. There’s a reason Carcass played a shitload of Heartwork songs on their recent reunion tour; they are all good. The bulk of the setlist was from the two Amott-era albums, and no hardcore Carcass fans complained. Even Bill Steer says Heartwork is his favorite Carcass album. It’s not as good as Necroticism, but it’s close.

I would agree that Master is far superior to the Black album.

However nothing Metallica has done is better than Heartwork in my opinion.

I know some people don’t agree, and think that Carcass jumped the shark after “Necroticism” or maybe the Tools of the Trade ep, but I personally liked the clarity and precision of the songs on Heartwork.

Heartwork?

How can you claim that Heartwork was better than Symphonies or Necrotism and call yourself a metal fan?

It’s equivalent to stating that the black album is better than Master of Puppets.

To me Heartwork is where Carcass really became a killer band. How come there aren’t a million bands out there trying to clone that sound?

I can’t be alone in this, sure I like the early Carcass stuff too, but to me it isn’t anywhere near as good.

I just don’t see myself enjoying a half hour of a band (General Surgery) trying to be another band(Carcass) before they became great.
