These guys are still great.

These guys seriously need to give us new material. Hopefully they can figure out how to do that.

Hopefully.

one of the best european thrash bands ever!

The end of their career produced material that I didn't find enjoyable. Hopefully they wouldn't pick up where they left off there.

I meant first 3 albums

I can't wait to see them in May, they sound great! Good to see some Grin material included too.

loved everything they put out, hopefully they'll release more stuff.

Everything they did rules but the first two albums and Mental Vortex are my favorite.

I'd love to hear some new Coroner music.

I actually like the last two albums the best (Mental Vortex and Grin), I think there are lots of unexplored musical avenues they could take...and they have the talent to pull it off.

I can't listen to the s/t or "Grin" at all.

"Mental Vortex" was cool though. "Son of Lilith" is their best song I think.

Really? Im surprised, really Grin is just the next logical step from Mental Vortex. I actually like it better than Vortex. However, Punishment For Decadence is still my favorite.

Strangely... For me, their albums rank in the order i bought them. Mental Vortex is the album that introduced me to their music and made me a fan. I got it as a new release in '91. My second was RIP. 3rd was Grin... the other two i bought at the same time years later.

I prefer "No More Color" and "Punishment for Decadence". I also enjoy "R.I.P" and "Mental Vortex" to a lesser extent.

For some reason No More Color is my least favorite... I just don't think the songs are as good. (even though the musicianship is great)

I agree. Although I think the atrocious production doesn't help it either. It sounds like it was recorded in a corrugated metal shed.

A proper remaster would help a lot!

My real problem is the songwriting. The musicianship is great but there's something missing...

Wow, "No More Color" has my favorite songwriting from all their discs. To me, it is more succinct and the opening track is the strongest of any of their releases.

There are some strong moments on the album but i just don't like the songwriting as much. The way the vocals are arranged may have something to do with it.

I disagree.

I think "Sirens" is their best song... The whole structure of the song is fresh sounding in it's approach and extremely catchy. It's one of the best riffs i've ever heard.

On my way to see these guys tonight

I love their first four albums, and No More Color is probably my favorite although I'm not sure. The thing is, I have a number of favorite songs on R.I.P., with "Reborn Through Hate" being my favorite Coroner song!

No More Color and Mental Vortex are my favorite discs from them.

if this is their first reunion show after a 15 year break. Then Im very exited about this re-union.
