Let’s face it! If Facebreaker had made this an Ep or a mini CD with just the following tracks, it will have been a great release: Dead Rotten and Hungry, Walking Dead, Consumed, and Soul Eater, just take the album, only play those tracks and you’ll see how good “Dead, Rotten and hungry” could have been. Instead they decided to add 7 uninspired songs in addition to those great tracks. And is not like the rest of the songs are crap, because they are not, is just that they sound like a bad copy of the other four, like a B side selection that made it through the last recording sessions, because they were out of time and needed this to be a full length; this are all “conspiracies” on my behalf of course, but nonetheless there is some truth in my words by saying that “Dead, Rotten…” is an awesome Ep that got stuffed with a lot of un-necessary minutes.

Slowly Rotting could be re-consider as to be a part or not of this hypothetical Ep, been a first track it accomplishes what an intro track should do, slap you hard and fast, to realize that this is a more “brutal” Swedish death metal approach than the widely known mellow sound.

There are two great assets that Facebreaker has, speed and catchy tunes; the problem comes when they slow things down, going into a sort of Obituary death metal that comes out very plain and boring (just check out Night Of The Burning Dead).

“Dead, Rotten and Hungry” has some of those memorable Dismember/Entombed moments, but they are too short and too spread apart, is not like I wish every band emulates a certain way of playing, but to deny what sounds certainly truth and include some mid tempo sections when their riffs are so obviously better played fast is a shame.
