Greed is the debut and only album by the English nu metal band Pulkas.
Reception
Writing for Chronicles of Chaos, Adrian Bromley praised the album, stating that the band "has managed to capture a vibe of metal music that seems too hard to find nowadays".{{cite web |url=http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/reviews/albums/2-863_pulkas_greed.aspx |title=CoC : Pulkas - Greed : Review |website=www.chroniclesofchaos.com |access-date=10 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110919055309/http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/reviews/albums/2-863_pulkas_greed.aspx |archive-date=19 September 2011 |url-status=dead}} The instrumentation of the band has been compared to that of Tool and Neurosis.{{cite web | url=https://www.visions.de/platten/1741/pulkas-greed | title=Pulkas - Greed }}{{cite web | url=https://www.rockhard.de/reviews/pulkas-greed_196361.html | title=PULKAS - Greed }}
In retrospective reviews, Greed has been described as having "aged surprisingly well and hasn’t dated anywhere near as much as the likes of One Minute Silence et al". A 2020 list of "one-album wonders" by Louder Sound considered it "an unbelievable slab of alt. metal perfection".
