The track "Out of the Body" is considered a fan favorite. ==Music== The sound on Consuming Impulse has been compared to the early work of Death. The album's instrumentation draws influence from Slayer, and contains what is described as "frantic, atonal, and noisy soloing." The album's "doomy" sections have drawn comparisons to Celtic Frost. ==Reception and legacy== John Serba of AllMusic gave the album 4 and a half stars out of five. He wrote: "Consuming Impulse stands firmly next to Death's Leprosy, Sepultura's Beneath the Remains, Obituarys Slowly We Rot, and Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness as key evolutionary albums in the legitimization of death metal in the late '80s. [...] Consuming Impulse is the guts of Pestilence's career, the group confidently leaping from the gutter with teeth bared, ready to stand toe-to-toe with the other truly great -- and more appreciated -- acts in the death metal genre." Decibel said the album "melted minds and liquefied brains" and stated that the album "was, in fact, a game-changer" in the genre. ==Track listing== ==Notes== ==References==
