I'm actually with Jackhammer on this one.

Stuff like that sounded great at the time because it was totally new & different to what anybody had done before. I remember hearing Napalm Death for the first time around 88/89 and being blown away by it.
But by only a couple of years later the scene was overrun by bands who were just playing fast & shouting and added no originality to it.It's as if they were just copying how it sounded and missing the point that it was about pushing boundaries , which is one of the reasons I stopped listening to that kind of stuff in the mid 90s , it just got boring.
