Morbid Angel's 2nd album finds them getting more technical. not really a lot to say about this one. besides the intro there are 3 instrumentals on the album. "Doomsday Celebration" is a cheesy keyboard deal that sounds like old computer game music. "Desolate Ways" is a nice, melodic acoustic guitar jam but it feels really out of place on the album. "In Remembrance" is a piano piece that again is very melodic and well written but feels out of place on it's own. .

another Earache reissue. there are no bonus tracks but there is a dvd called Tales of the Sick: A Closer Look, a 60 minute documentary filmed in 2009 that contains interviews with David Vincent (bass and vocals), Tom Morris, who engineered and and mixed the album, and a few other people.

from what i've read most people consider this to be the ultimate Morbid Angel album. i liked it just fine.
