I have to agree with you in choosing Leprosy as your number 1. Open Casket and Pull The Plug are songs I hold very dear to me those were the first songs I ever heard by Death. Awesome ranking man

[@ojvera76]

1- Scream Bloody Gore 1- Leprosy 1- Spiritual Healing 1- Human 1- Individual Thought Patterns 1- Symbolic 1- The Sound of Perseverance

[@rottenparts]

IMO, I really want to like that album more, but the rhythm section just doesn't do it for me with that production. Especially Bill Andrew's drumming. I know he also drums on Leprosy, but the huge gated drum sound on that album fills up more space and sounds more massive. His single kick patterns on SH just sound flat.

Maybe my rankings are more based on sentimentality. But, Leprosy demonstrates the emotion best. Emotion wears off🙂. They were changing. It seemed more, unrefined, experimental. Not as ‘Pure’ as the first Three. That is just my feelings though. I’m biased. I loved Leprosy, and Spiritual, when they came out. I was in 8-9th grade when Leprosy came out. And a sophomore in high school when Spiritual Healing came out. They are my top Death metal world, and Pestilence Consuming Impulse, at this Junctior of my life🤘🏽 And the first 3 were pure death metal My reasons could probably be better explained. But Fuck that.🤣

[@damaco78]

Based upon that ranking I am guessing that you got intonthem in the mid 90's?

This is a brave ranking to do, Death as you also state have no bad albums in their discography. Rarely can a band almost universally be agreed as not releasing a single dud, not one album that is frowned upon (Cannibal Corpse is another that ticks this same box for me, maybe even Bolt Thrower too)..anyway, Leprosy and Human are hard to split for me for different reasons but ask me in any week and the rest of the order could change but one thing that wont change is that Death as a band and Chuck as a person are sadly missed. R.I.P Chuck - Let the Metal Flow!

Thats one hard rank’em all !! It really depends on the day. When Human is 7th!?!? Man, what a band. ITP and Symbolic literally put tears in my eyes. Early Death Metal masterpiece Leprosy is really genius work. Rick Rozzs solo in Pull the Plug is a whammy fest done to perfection. Spiritual Healing is an underrated monster. Knowing SoP is Chucks last work, besides Control Denied, w that cover of Painkiller still leaves me in a state of shock 23 years later. Thnx for this!!!

1 Symbolic (best album I've ever heard, and still my favourite of all time. Lyrics, Drums, Riffs, Melodies, Solos.. The only flawless 10/10 I know of). -From the iconic opening riff on Symbolic to Without Judgement's middle section and Perennial's beautiful outro, I love every second. 2 Human (The most intense album with great mix of riffs and melodies. 9.9/10). -every track could be a highlight.. but See Through Dreams, Vacant Planets and Secret Face are seriously underrated (and my favourites)!!! 3 TSOP (A little long, but it has THE best melodies.. and the Painkiller cover is one of the few I accept, although A Moment of Clarity was a perfect closer. 9.7/10). -From the complex Scavenger of Human Sorrow to the beautiful, emotional Story to Tell, every song could be a highlight.. 4 Leprosy (Perfect lenght and it has the hardest riffs, vocals and Rick's frantic whammy solos fit. The best pure Death Metal record. 9.3/10) -Pull the Plug, Open Casket, Leprosy, Born Dead and Left To Die are my favourites. 5 Individual T. Patterns (The most technical album with the best bass performance, but it has three "o.k."/ slightly sub-par songs imo.. 9.2/10). -Trapped In A Corner, Jealousy, Overactive Imagination, Philosopher and Mentally Blind are my favourites. 6 Spiritual Healing (The worst production imo, the drums are so flat.. The riffs, shredding and UNDERRATED melodies rule, though. 9.0/10). -Within the Mind, Genetic Reconstruction, Defensive Personalities, Title Track and Altering the Future are my favourites. 7 Scream Bloody Gore (The 2nd "worst" production, but it's still a punch to the throat! Awesome piece of history, but is mostly riff-riff-riff. 8.9/10). -Evil Dead, Sacrificial, Zombie Ritual, Baptized In Blood and Torn To Pieces are my favourites.

Why are some of the rank'em all vids not available?

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I make the videos in advance so that there won't be like 6 videos one week and then 0 videos the next week. :)

Not a bad list - sharing my thoughts on these: 1. Spiritual Healing - a killer Bill Andrews' drums sound (the drums sound almost fucking (a-)live), there's a great contrast in approach to solos of (one and only) James Murphy and (also one and only) Chuck (btw it reminds me of Megadeth's Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine dynamics); to me every song is a death-metal superhit and pure perfection; Chuck's solo in Altering the Future takes me to another dimension everytime I hear it 2. Individual Thought Patterns / Human - a more commercial production, great musicians and great music; I really like the somewhat blurry guitar sound, as it adds to the overall impression the albums give me (especially Human); musically, ITP seems a tad more aggressive to me 3. Leprosy / Scream Bloody Gore - absolute classics, foreshadowing Chuck's genius, but suffering from weaker production a bit; still great records to come back to 4. Symbolic - as-if another version of Spiritual Healing (rhythm changes, songs composition, etc..), but with different production and occassional experimenation which disturbs me (e.g. the spanish guitar in Crystal Mountain); however, the title track and Zero Tolerance are my favourites and I listen to the album from time to time But basically, all of the above are superb, with very little difference in preferences for each to me. However, I can't say the same about the last one on my list: 5. The Sound of Perseverance - sorry, folks, I do not like this record - I hate the fucking atrocity called vocals, the drumming seems to go for something super-heavy and ultra-artistic at the same time - and it just sucks - and the overall sound is just annoying for me; but most importantly, for me, the songs are just not good / boring to listen to And let me add Control Denied to the list - without order: a, The Fragile Art of Existence - quite an experimental record, somewhat difficult to listen to when going for death metal; it's an experiment with the DM genre as the form, but deviating from it musically; the vocals are also not the ones I cherish; btw - it's worth saying, that if #5 on my list sounded like this, I could tolerate it more 😃 b, Zero Tolerance - not really a polished product, but a haunting reminder of Chuck's talent / vision / musicmanship; first four tracks show his experimental side, the demos give an insight into the process of creating / fine tuning the songs for the first record

good stuff! Cheers!

[@buffalodebill1976]

I was pleasantly surprised about you delving into death metal genre 😃 (Thrash is still the best)

[@Music_Maniac555]

It says something about a band's discography when even the 'worst' albums are praised and there are 'no bad Death albums'. RIP Chuck.

Love your take on Leprosy, Pull the PLUG!! Let me pass away… I would say I feel Spiritual Healing is my # 2. Right after Leprosy. They were in the groove

[@abboed.4076]

Due to nostalgic arguments Scream Bloody Gore will always be my favorite Death record - although Leprosy indeed is their best - with Sacrificial being the favorite song. I still remember someone recording this for me on tape back in 1987, i.e. shortly after its release. The new level of intensity and aggression blew me away (including my neighbors, I'd wager 🤔). 🤘😎

Mi favorito es el tremendo Spiritual Healing. Aunque pienso que con esta banda es complicado sobretodo a partir del segundo elegir el mejor,cada cual tiene uno...he ahí la grandeza de los Death, inimitables e irrepetibles .Grandes! Un saludo.

Human by a country mile. Suicide Machine, Together as one, Lack of Comprehension etc all bangers. Saw them in Dublin on this tour.

This was tough! -- Not a bad album and probably rank them differently depending on my mood. 7. Spiritual Healing 9/10 6.Scream Bloody Gore 9.1/10 5. Individual Thought Patterns 9.3 /10 4. Human 9.4/10 3. Sound of Perseverance 9.5/10 2. Leprosy (First Death Metal album I ever heard) 9.8/10 1. Symbolic - 10/10

[@jasonellsworth1972]

My order of preference would be: 1) Spiritual Healing 2) The Sound of Perseverance 3) Leprosy 4) Human 5) Symbolic 6) Scream Bloody Gore 7) Individual Thought Patterns Spiritual Healing was the first Death album I heard. It connects with me and well - James Murphy. Putting Individual Thought Patterns feels weird because Andy LaRocque is one of my favorite guitar players of all time. Cheers!
