    Latest album of grindcor legends - Napalm's Death "Utilitarian" is not impressive. Nineteen tracks without doubt presents a level unattainable for most followers, but the team set the bar high and as far as gentlemen's recent publication jump over it - so much happiness limit may soon be exhausted.

    With an outfit like Napalm, one looks for the subtle touches, and they're present: clean vocals on "Analysis Paralysis" and "The Wolf I Feed," a psychedelic burst of guitar noise on "Leper Colony." [Mar 2012, p.58]

    Long-time fans will appreciate that Napalm haven't toned down their extreme approach to metal.

    The group has released many classic albums over its long career, and Utilitarian is easily on par with its very strongest work.
