Background
editBloodthirst was the band's first album to be recorded outside of Morrisound Recordings in Tampa, Florida, instead being recorded at Village Productions in Tornillo, Texas.[citation needed]
Reception
editSteve Huey of Allmusic gave the album an underwhelming review, saying that while the band has tightened their songwriting, the appeal of Bloodthirst likely rests on the listener's answer to the question "how much Cannibal Corpse do you really need"?.[1]
