Au vandut mult pentru o trupa de death metal, si asta nu ca ar fi "comerciali", ci pentru ca scot albume de calitate in mod constant. Nu se numara printre prefratii mei (mai bine zis, printre "primii dintre preferati"), dar sunt melodii care imi plac mult. Primul album imi place in intregime si cand ma gandesc la momentul in care a aparut nu pot decat sa zic "wow". Pete bate ca dementu', pe toate albumele si solourile ciudate, "bolnave" ale lui Trey sunt excelente. Morbid Angel straluceste si la partea de compozitie, melodiile curg frumos, cu treceri bine alese. In ultima perioada au ales un sunet/o atmosfera mai "doomy", nefiind totusi vorba nici pe departe ca ar canta doom.
Now what do YOU think?
