Napalm Death - Diatribes Lyrics






Bite the bit, scream till you're blue the face. [x4]

Nice pipe dreams or passive revolution? [x4]

Foot soldiers
With weapons of placarde and banners.
How will they stop the rot?

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

Lie down.
And cry all you can.
The machine rolls over you.

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

It just don't seem feasible - no!

Black to the NAzi - try pleading affinity
Hands up, boot in, shattering the passive dream.
But is it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process? - no!

Shattering the passive dream

Is it 'cause we like to hear the sound of our voice?
Big-hearted diatribes, just like my dilemma.
Time to return compliments, shattering the passive dream?

    Argh..... that brief period in the mid 90s when Napalm where the followers instead of the leaders and were trying to get a bit of that sepultura/ pantera money !!! This and inside the torn apart were as mainstream as they got but I still love em !!! So many good memories attached to this album !!!

  21. y.... t....

    DİATRİBES is one of my best favorite albums of NAPALM DEATH WİTH ENEMY OF THE MUSİC BUSSİNESS Greed Killing My Own Worst Enemy and Corrosive Elements are my favorites

  22. B.... B....

    The grooves are so crushing and aggresive.

  23. W.... M....

    Grew up jamming to Napalm Death and still rockin with em, and always will 👊

  24. t.... n....

    Not their best but i’m glad it exists,brilliant drumming Danny.

  25. Y.... H....

    Napalm Death fans of Surabaya , Indonesia .

  26. c.... ....

    premium grind

  27. g.... ....

    Groovy af

  28. M.... D....

    gringos si queréis escuchar algo bueno TRIANA

  29. M.... D....

    lo que no es innovador son porquerías como el load de metallica.

  30. M.... D....

    Un grupo de lo más innovador. No es cannibal Corpse que se repiten más que el ajo

  31. R.... J....

    They made this album just chillin in Birmingham? Is that the story?

    Groovy, man.
    🚶🏃🚶🏃🤸🤼good for dancin.

  32. B.... M....

    Bought this the day it was released. Listened to Napalm Death since I picked up the Death by Manipulation cassette as a kid. They never released a bad album. This is no exception.

    B.... M....

    Still have D.B.M on cassette too got it for 1$ felt like the luckiest dude ever.

  33. G.... ....

    this album is absolutely mind blowing... Cold Forgiveness

  34. m.... w....

    My favorite napalm death album

  35. T.... ....

    Being more of a Death Metal fan myself I always liked these albums more than the pure grind stuff
    Although I like that as well

  36. J.... D....

    Great groovy album, love it... but live, however is responsible for mixing and shit, needs a slap to quit nap... such talent, sounds like a bad industrial band live. "Avenged Sevenfold pussies" - they are a weak band, but live non of that needless distortion... Anvil did figure it out perfectly too

  37. M.... ....

    Certainly isn't Harmony Corruption, I guess nothing ever will be, but a decent effort nonetheless.

  38. P.... P....

    I like many ND albums.. but this one is the greatest !!!

  39. L.... L....

    Melodic and brutual.Very very nice. DRUGS!!!!! :-)Alcohol.... :-)))))) Girls..... :-)

    L.... L....

    And N.D. : )

  40. L.... L....

    Most pwelfull songs :-) Realy goooooooddddddammm :-)

  41. A.... N....

    Greaaaaaaaaat

  42. m.... m....

    Ok,guys,I love ND but this sounds like bastard son od Soulfly and Melvins. The only ND element in music is Barney's vocal, otherwise no one could ever tell it is ND album.

  43. F.... B....

    the best of album napalm death!!!

  44. G.... M....

    excelente

  45. P.... C....

    I love how they stuck to their guns and continue to produce awesome GRINDCORE and couple that to lyrics that continue to make us THINK!

  46. l.... ....

    12. "Corrosive Elements"40:10 40!

  47. 5.... ....

    What a great piece of death metal. It's very unique

  48. G.... G....

    anyone know what tuning the guitarists are using on the first track?

  52. O.... M....

    Years have NOT condemned.

  53. D.... F....

    My favorite ND album. To me, there are very few albums of any genre that match the lyrical subject matter of this album.

  54. �.... �....

  56. C.... G....

    Man I Love this Band.

  57. r.... s....

    Mé oblíbené album z mládí .-) a pořád pecka koukám..teda slyším ...

  58. t.... ....

    One of the best Napalm Death albums! when it was released, it sounded really different than the rest of metal at that time! 20 fucking years and still listening to it!

    t.... ....

    I remember picking up and like "fuck yes this is killer" still love after all these years!

  59. M.... I....

    my favorite album :)

  60. d.... ....

    1- Prepare for pure badassery
    2- Proceed right-clicking right here: 31:01
    3- Enjoy pure badassery.

  61. M.... B....

    Greed Killing! Temàs històric!

  62. m.... d....

    discazo

  63. B.... Z....

    Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! They slowed down their sound a bit, but it is still massive. Like a higher BPM version of Prong. Godfathers of grind.

  64. I.... H....

    28:55 - Roots, Bloody Roots?

  65. M.... I....

    NAPALM forever!

  66. S.... B....

    Infectious groovy riffage and tight as hell drumming. It isn't grind but that doesn't mean it isn't still good.

  67. T.... P....

    I've listened this album so many times. I love it!

  68. S.... P....

    This album is basically ND injecting a little bit of Killing Joke into their sound. So what? I saw them on this tour (At The Gates opening), and believe me, they were just as super crushing. Didn't miss a beat.

    Funny side note: Barney wore bermuda shorts, it was hilarious/amazing at the same time.

    S.... P....

    More than likely, lol. Good times, great show.

    S.... P....

    Hey, wondering what you mean about adding a little killing joke into the sound. Not sure if your being facetious. If not, what era killing joke would most accurately feel nd were trying to convey?

    S.... P....

    No, I wasn't being facetious, I love both the bands. I can't pinpoint exactly what era they seem to be pulling from, and maybe it's just my ears, but I'm sure Swans, Head Of David and other wacky noise bands were starting to seep into their sound as well, but I really do hear that weird, off-kilter, atonal, single-note melodic guitar work in some of their mid-late 90's period. Super cool stuff.

    S.... P....

    Cool. I'll listen closer. Thanks

    S.... P....

    They played everything off this album much faster live.

  69. F.... S....

    HaiLz.!! Go FolloW My IG => _._ferdysilvera99._

    dis-like

  71. B.... T....

    Good Lord ,The whole Album seriously ............FLAWLESS Cursed to Crawl

  72. d.... A....

    yes ... always the havey death metal .....

  74. m.... d....

    placaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate, sedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate, erraaaaaadicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!!!

  75. V.... ....

    Ps,  Cold Forgiveness sounds like something Sepultura ripped off for their Roots album.....    S]

  76. J.... M....

    if not now than WHEN!?....WHEN!?

    J.... M....

    If not Neil then Wayne, WAYNE!!! ;)

  77. M.... ....

    Hum no reason Napalm shouldn't be played on the radio. Ass kicking and true quality ass kicking work.

  78. 7.... ....

    co za debil te czasy wstawiał?

  79. L.... D....

    I can't stand it when people say this album sucks. God forbid they slowed the bpm down and weren't playing blast beats every single song. This album shows a more melodic side to these guys and I feel it's their best material ever to be collectively put together as an album.

    L.... D....

    I think this album is more important than it is good. At least its solid though.

    L.... D....

    music fascists fuck off

    L.... D....

    Love this album.

    L.... D....

    This is great. Kinda like ND style grunge at times.

    L.... D....

    I agree, I like the fast albums, but they can get boring if it"s always blast bear galore. It makes the blast beat not that special when it is a constant assault. This is my first time listening this album. I have been a full on lover of dystopia banished, but this is way too awesome. I do not know how anyone an say this is soft, commercial r weak..... Rock on!

  80. w.... ....

    napalm at their best ! awesome album

  81. r.... s....

    Mé oblíbené album od N-D..... palec nahoru

    r.... s....

    jo jo ani po dvaceti letech se to neomrziii

  82. V.... R....

    powerful ass kicking

  83. R.... K....

    Every single youtube video of any bands song or album is guaranteed to have 25% of the posts to say either "This is my favorite album/song", or "Most underrated album/song". Guarenteed, if I had a shot for every post like that I'd be literally dead drunk!

  84. C.... A....

    si quieres death aqui lo tienen perros. death, death, muerte full

  85. t.... a....

    one of the best albums around......still

  86. U.... ....

    Gravina monstruosa e influente até hoje.

  87. J.... G....

    Just Rewards is my favorite.

  88. n.... ....

    for years I'm looking for something musically similiar to this album, in terms of guitar tone, dissonance. any ideas?

    n.... ....

    +nroks look Carcass Album Necroticism Descanting the Insaloubrious, Brutal Truth Album sound of the animal kingdome

    n.... ....

    +Giova2774 I know both. I think that Embury's industrial projects like meathook seed and blood from the soul are the closest

    n.... ....

    Gorefest: False/Erase maybe too!

  89. N.... ....

    Wow this shit sucks balls.

    N.... ....

    +TheSmashingTesticles wow, fuck off.

  90. K.... S....

    fuck naplam rules

  91. N.... C....

    face behind tha face,behind tha face ,behind tha face, behind tha face,
    a cold forgiveness meant not for me,a cold forgiveness meant_not_for_me !

  92. F.... A....

    "Ripe for the Breaking!" One of the best songs from this album, along with "My Own Worst Enemy"

  93. D.... R....

    Love this Album, Napalm death Rulezzz

  94. r.... r....

    Danny Herrera is so underrated drummer, he has to be in the same place like Pete Sandoval, Gene Hoglan and Dave Lombardo in my opinion

    r.... r....

    Great drumming for a great band.

  95. S.... ....

    I have been listening to Napalm Death since the beginning and this was by far my favorite era of ND albums..

  96. J.... h....

    Tää on kyl tosi hyvää..

  97. z.... ....

    What a great fucking album, so many goosebump moments.

  98. D.... R....

    always love those evil elf back up vocals!!
