Beats all the others I've heard!

For a full album listen, Altered States takes the goddamn cake over almost anything else out there. For single tracks through, Frozen Corpse Stuffed with Dope is equally awesome.

Repulsion's Horrified is quite good

I like Horrified a lot, in fact I'd say it's not only my favorite grindcore album but my favorite metal album of all time - but what do you enjoy about it?

So what exactly makes grindcore grindcore?

it's concise, brutal and has quite a lot of hardcore punk elements

Blastbeats, extremely short songs, fast tempos, abruptly shifting song structures, and lineage that's one part metal, one part hardcore.

Example:

i don't even know if they're "grindcore" but Hayaino Daisuki's first few EPs are quite good as well

I wouldn't call them grindcore but I do like the two EPs I have by them.

Dark Legions Archive defines Grindcore as:

Quote:
A further evolution of the sound hardcore punk created and thrash developed, grindcore slams together abrasive riffs in order to achieve a release from intensity at the end of each song. Its name comes from that grinding, caused by fast alternation between chromatic notes and the contrast with rigid whole note patterns that lift the listener up from the directionless thrashing. Where purest, grindcore celebrates individual life and rejects social mores by reminding us that we are mortal, frail and the clock is ticking, so we need to cast aside the pointless and frustrating (grinding) in life and replace it with open spaces of our own imaginations.
Which is what I'd basically agree with. It's a derivative of rock 'n roll which uses "noise" segments to emphasize fleeting moments of monorhythm and/or melody.
