    The album's production is without needless fanfare and benefits from it immensely. It allows the weighty three-piece to shine without trickery.

    Corrosion of Conformity is an album with all the strength and integrity of COC's very best work.

    Acting as a kind of crossroads between the old C.O.C. and the new, Corrosion of Conformity feels more like a distillation of their career than an evolution of their sound.

    It's weighty and impressive in places, but without Pepper's howl it also sounds curiously incomplete. [3 Mar 2012, p.53]

    Corrosion of Conformity released their self-titled album after nearly seven year hiatus and replacement of vocalist. Album when it comes to quality is uneven - in fact we can find decent songs on it: "Leeches" or "The Same Way". The rest od material shows tend to lower the level. As far as any composition (eg, "The Moneychangers") is likely to be a strong number on the CD, it will always contain some parts that not quite fit, and spoils the whole effect.… Expand
