FUCK YES. Death is still one of my all-time favorites. Sucks a shitload that Chuck Schuldiner had to go and die without asking my permission, that was quite rude of him. Wasn't too much of a fan of his first two albums, but at the time, the whole death metal genre was still taking shape. Spiritual Healing was a pretty big step forward for him, and also featured James Murphy on guitar, one of my other favorite guitarists (also loved his work with Obituary on Cause Of Death). And I dunno what the hell happened in the year between Spiritual Healing and Human, but ole Chuck hit fucking paydirt with the sound he finally formulated with that album. Individual Thought Patterns was a little better, more complex song structure, better production and sound, etc. And then Symbolic was damn near PERFECTION. But after that, he came out with Sound of Perseverance and... there was HUGE difference in his vocal delivery. I wasn't too fond of it at all. Sounded like someone was squeezing his nuts while stomping on a cat. Maybe the cancer had something to do with it, I dunno. That's why I initially liked Death so much, his voice was so unique and always stood out from the other bands vocalists. I also wasn't too fond of the way they recorded the album. You could tell they were shooting for more of a natural "live" sound, especially the way the drums were mixed. On the whole, I though it was still a really good album though, it just took a little while to grow on me. Would've been very interesting to hear what else he would've written had he not died so young. Seemed like he was obviously pioneering a sub-genre of death metal geared more towards progressive stylings. Life isn't fair though. Chuck Schuldiner gets fistfucked by tumors at 34, meanwhile talent-free cocksuckers like Brett Michaels will live to be one hundred.

Oh ya, my first death cd experience and memory was being stoned and hearing spiritual healing in my friends truck.
Right off the bat living monstrosity really stuck out
Some say she's naive, she's a stupid bitch
Some say to forgive, guilty she should die!
Glad I got to see them on the symbolic tour \m/

Human is one of the greatest death metal albums of all time. Chuck really kicked the tempo up a notch with that album and the guitar tone is heavy as shit. The basslines on that album are incredible too but they aren't turned up all that loud, if they remixed it, that would be my only criticism. Flattening of Emotions, Suicide Machine, Together as One, Lack of Comprehension, are all songs that have defined the genre of death metal. Those songs have also served as the cornerstone for many subgenres that would eventually evolve from the early 90's death metal sound.

The sum of my post is, Death \m/\m/.

What do you mean, if they remixed it? You don't have the Relapse remix? Shit, I even played the remixed Flattening of Emotions on Wrekage two weeks ago. Shit is heavy as fuck. You guys were listening, right? Right?
