Reviewing EVERY Death Album!

[@MetalTrenches]

We have VERY different lists. This should be fun…

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

I'm super pumped to hear your thoughts now ahaha

[@beanman2206]

do a tier list plz so happy to see you tackle slayer might i add!!

[@MetalTrenches]

@@beanman2206 Recorded it last week actually. Will be up sometime in August.

[@beanman2206]

[@mindful2864]

Death has a nearly flawless discography. You could pick any of the seven Death albums and be blown away. Chuck was a genius songwriter and guitarist who will be forever missed.

[@matthewmacdonaldchannel1]

Thank you for saying what I have been thinking. \m/

[@bogofeternalstench2570]

Lol, regurgitating what you read last week, Redditor

[@martinpazdera3904]

Nothing Is Everything is the most underrated and my personal favorite death song. That lead guitar melody on chorus is just perfect.

[@V2Itself]

One of my favorites ever. Glad to see a like minded person. Some of their bass work ever is in that song. All of individual thought patterns is just perfect

[@theHound-bd1fb]

The drums on that song go crazy too

[@Flugmorph]

not giving symbolic a 5/5 is a crime in and of itself.

[@nickfanzo]

Correct

[@sirspookybones1118]

Absolutely one of my favourite bands. While I have preferences, I feel I can jump into any Death album and enjoy it greatly

[@amandusbjorklund7935]

No one should forget that one of the reasons we have death metal is because of this incredible band. For this reason, Death will always be one of my favorite death metal bands and one of my favorite bands of all time. The Sound of Perseverance is not only one of my favorite metal albums of all time, it is one of my favorite albums of all time, it's easily in the top 10.

[@EntityofDarkness696]

It's good to know that for the most part I can just grab a random album and be fine with it. I'll have to add Spiritual Healing and Symbolic to my album list especially. Also, I'm just going to say it, I chuckled when you said spiritual healing was the logical evolution of leprosy. I have a sick sense of humour.

[@amsi666]

I was holding my breath until you got to the Sound... and wow, I do actually agree with every word you say on this video! Please do talk about Mayhem.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

I probably will... probably within the next month...

[@nelsonshuchmacherendebo7688]

Cool video, Robert. Death's discography can only be compared to Maiden's 80s run. All classic records back to back. Like you, I have a forever soft spot for Symbolic and TSOP. The latter I bought when it came out and for a really long time it was all I played on my goofy discman. Constant exposure made it the Death record that I know best, but also the one I revisit the least 20 years later. These days when I want to listen to Death I'll pop in Human or Symbolic most of the time. Still, sometimes I`m working out and shuffle will get me something off the first records, and I will just fucking headbang my way through those tunes. They are pure heavy metal royalty.

[@Carbonisation]

I'm new to Death. Our preferrings are almost identical, and our scores are very close, too. I think they progressively got better from each albun (no pun intended). Love how much people differ when it comes to Death. It just shows how consistently good they were, and that's far between such bands. Here's my ranking: 1. Symbolic (5/5) 2. The Sound of Perseverance (5/5) 3. Individual Thought Patterns (4.5) 4. Human (4.5/5) 5. Leprosy (4/5) 6. Spiritual Healing (4/5) 7. Scream Bloody Gore (3.5)

[@romaincassignol]

My ranking : 1 Human (unmatchable landmark of Death Metal), rate 6/5 2 ITP, rate 5/5 (perfect mix Death Metal+Jazz) 3 Symbolic, rate 5/5 (perfect mix Death Metal+Heavy Métal) 4 Leprosy, rate 4.5/5 (raw and brutal) 5 Spiritual Healing, rate 4/5. (1st step in direction of Human) 6 SOP, rate 4/5 (very good but a step backward in my opinion) 7 SBG, rate 3.5/5 (legendary because precursor) Nice video dude 🤘

[@jboogedy]

this is my exact list as well, cheers! ;)

[@Hecatecrossways]

1. Leprosy 2. Sound of Perseverance 3. Individual Thought Patterns 4. Spiritual Healing 5. Scream Bloody Gore 6. Symbolic 7. Human ( the primitive cover of God of Thunder ruined the album)

[@romaincassignol]

@@jboogedy th God of Thunder is only a bonus track not included in the first edition...then you can ignore it in your ranking....

[@w-james9277]

I love all their albums but Human is my favourite. It's the perfect blend of their old school thrashy death metal sound and their later progressive/technical sound.

[@kurtcobain279489]

Sound of Perseverance is easily my favourite album too, it's also the first album I heard from Death after getting a free album download from some kind of early streaming platform way back in 2008. Easily the best Death album and one of the all time greatest releases imo. I'd be interested to know what you'd have given Control Denied though, I also love that album as it felt like a good continuation and while it's where Chuck's career would be tragically cut short it feels like a fitting final release from his metal genius.

[@TheReturnOED]

Steve was famous for been part of Sadus mostly, then now testament

[@creepingdeath9426]

Great review!

[@blackwaterrust476]

Definitely THE band that got me into Extreme Metal. Leprosy was my 1st extreme metal album I ever listened to. I’ll definitely do a Tierlist for Death instead of giving everything a 10/10. S: Human, Leprosy A: Symbolic, Sound of Perseverance B: Individual Thought Patterns, Scream Bloody Gore C: Spiritual Healing D: Nothing Death has made will ever be D tier.

[@blackwaterrust476]

Also just want to say Voice of the Soul is probably my favorite instrumental of all time. That songs gets me emotionally EVERY TIME.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

@@blackwaterrust476 Beautiful number, one of the best on that album for sure.

[@brazzledazzle_]

Does anyone know a metal record vaguely as powerful as TSOP in terms of the riffs and melodies? Because barely any record I find comes anywhere close to it in terms of quality, and also catchiness.

[@harvesterofstorms4932]

Symbolic is definitely in my top 10 favorite metal albums. Thought it’s occasionally in contest with Individual Thought Patterns. That one has my favorite lineup for Death.

[@AstolfoTheRiderOfBlack]

Honestly, i would love to see you do a review of every Ozzy Osbourne Solo album or Mayhem, and maybe Dio too

[@dansta3346]

Great video! I would rank the last 4 albums a little different, but who cares? They could probably all end within my 20 favorite metal albums of all time :D I would love to see a "Dio albums ranked" video. I think it would be so much because of the the rollercoaster ride this discography is.

[@Morn__]

I love all the albums, if I have to be critical the only two that are a little bit worse than the others are Scream Bloody Gore and Spiritual Healing but I still like them a lot

[@persannnn4]

The drums are on point

[@masterzombie161]

My brother is a huge fan of Death. He learned pretty much every song on Guitar, and even has two of Chucks stealth BC Rich.

[@davidburns6284]

Death was incredible. Not a huge fan of "Scream Bloody Gore", but everything else was hot shit on a stick.

[@jakobthonen9411]

Also something I've noticed from what I see online the three albums with one word titles (Leprosy, Human, and Symbolic) seem to be for favored that the other four which have longer titles which is interesting to me.

[@craigjames1082]

Apparently during the Symbolic era he was super into power metal and he wanted to make the songs more melodic and catchy

[@VS-ke1qp]

1. Individual Thought Patterns 2. The Sound of Perseverance 3. Scream Bloody Gore 4. Leprosy 5. Symbolic 6. Human 7. Spiritual Healing When I first heard ITP, I was in high school playing bass in my first extreme metal band. DiGorgio's playing changed everything. Up there with the best of Geezer and 'Arry for me. Also, I think Bathory would make a good topic for one of these videos in the future. They have an extensive though not too long discography that is mostly pretty good, but with enough peaks, valleys and stylistic changes to make for an interesting video.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

DiGorgio is legit one of metal's best bassists, anybody arguing otherwise has never heard the guy play. And Bathory would be neat - despite their importance to metal I've never actually spent a lot of time with their music, so it'd be a good excuse to finally dive in.

[@fourseasons4105]

1. Symbolic 2. Sound of perseverance 3. Individual thought patterns 4. Leprosy 5. Human 6. Spiritual healing 7. Scream bloody gore

[@spiggly_digg]

I can rest peacefully seeing tsop get 5/5 But scream bloody gore is only a 3/5, disliked and unsubscribed. This is the internet, you’re not allowed to have an opinion

[@joshthemetalnerd8083]

I hate to be this guy but most versions of Human don't have that bonus track......The only reason I mention it is because you cited that as the only reason it wasn't a 5. So would that mean that original version without the bonus track would be a 5? ( apologies in advance for wasting your time with this comment it's just that it seems so weird for something that isn't on most versions of this album draging the score down) That being said amazing video. EDIT: seems as though Relapse records has a huge boner for that Kiss cover. It's on almost every one of their reissues. I don't know why but I spent like 10 minutes on metal archives looking at all the different versions and HOLY FUCK there's like a million. Seems they didn't put the Kiss cover on there until 1998 and then it was on A LOT of the other reissues. Anyway thanks for letting me waste your time going through the specifics of different reissues solely based on the fact that I wanted this album to have a solid 5 LMAO

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

No need to apologize man, its all good - I suppose with that logic it is, but the fact of the matter is the version I have DOES have that KISS cover, and it just isn't up to par for me.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

1. Leprosy 2. The Sound Of Perseverance 3. Spiritual Healing 4. Individual Thought Patterns 5. Human 6. Symbolic 7. Scream Bloody Gore

[@JaredPoirier]

Wow this is an insane amount of work!

[@darthchopper9016]

The death of Chuck is the greatest loss for metal ever. We missed out on so much great music. The sound of perseverance is Deaths best, Death kept getting better with each album.

[@bogofeternalstench2570]

Simp

[@ozricness]

Not the biggest fan of Spiritual Healing and The Sound of Perseverance, but all the rest I love. I do have a soft spot for Leprosy because it was the first death metal album I ever heard, but all the rest of them are awesome. It depends on the mood which one I play. Symbolic has Chuck's best lyrics I reckon.

[@michaelvein6]

I love every Death album. I own 5 Death shirts, two Death CDs, and 4 Death vinyls. My personal favorite album is Spiritual Healing because of the brutality in the songwriting and the lead guitar riffs. The vocals are more in your face.

[@metalheadrailfan]

Death has been tied with Iron Maiden as my favorite band for a good number of years. Leprosy the record that introduced me to the band and I haven't looked back since. Said record also has the honor of being my back patch on my battle jacket. Chuck just seemed to effortlessly write brutal, yet very catchy and beautiful records from Scream Bloody Gore all the way the only Control Denied album (and yes, I'm that guy that counts that as a Death record). It's one of those rare discographies where the musicianship just out does itself from one record to the next and no two are alike.

[@periachi4961]

My favorite band ever. Symbolic, SOP, and Human are my favorites, however i love all of the albums so fucking much.

[@jakobthonen9411]

For me: Scream Bloody Gore: 4/5 tons of fun Leprosy: 5/5 it has some of my favorite songs and my favorite drum sound of any band or album Spiritual Healing: 5/5 absolutely amazing album and it was my intro to the band. My favorite Chuck vocals. Human: 666/5 absolute perfection on every level. My favorite lineup, some of my favorite drum performances ever and I just love Paul Masvidal so much. Such a kind soul and underrated musician. Individual Thought Patterns: 4.5/5 their first prog album to me with some incredible songs idk what else to say. Symbolic: 4.5/5 their melodic death metal album full of bangers Sound of Perseverance: 4/5 their second prog album a little long but I still love it of course they did no wrong

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

I could give every Death album a 5/5 easy, but my favourite is definitely The Sound Of Perseverance. I completely agree with everything you said about that album, goddamn is it incredible. I’m not even going to try to rank them though lmao

[@CatherineLee3000]

Same!!

[@liametheridge9148]

As pretty much everyone has already stated, Death's whole discography is absolutely killer. I'll go as far as to say it's probably the most consistent discography of any band ever, certainly in terms of legacy bands. I'm of pretty much the same opinion as you, their 80s stuff was awesome but it was the 90s where they really came to life as a band. I'd say my ranking would be 1) Symbolic (1000/5, that record is beyond perfect to me. A pure, bonafide masterpiece) 2) Human (4.5/5) 3) Leprosy (4.5/5) 4) Individual Thought Patterns (4/5) 5) Sound of Perseverance (4/5) 6) Scream Bloody Gore (3.5/5) 7) Spiritual Healing (3.5/5) My ranking isn't even based on rating in a critical sense, but purely on how often I return to them. I know for a fact if I were to listen to any of them I'd think it was perfect!

[@emsig70]

That was fun! Leprosy was the first record where I left the comfort zone of what I heard up to that point: Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Metallica et al. I’m still not sure why I bought Leprosy at the time. Let’s settle on curiosity. The title track, Forgotten Past and Pull The Plug are awesome. Leprosy remains one of my favourite more extreme metal albums and I would give it happily a 4.5 out of five. It’s only topped by the last two entries in the Death discography. They are both fivers. They are masterpieces. They are unrivalled. Period. Sadly I’ve only seen Death live once and that was during the ill-fated European tour in 1990 as support of Kreator. Chuck thought that the tour wasn’t adequately organised and decided against it. To fulfil contractual obligations one half of the band recruited two roadies and did the tour without Chuck. To my dismay they animated the audience to yell “fuck Chuck” between each song. I’m still appalled by this today.

[@oregonwoodelf]

Damn I love Individual Thought Patterns, but the production is the worst of their catalogue IMO... When you go from listening to it and then hop to Symbolic, its just like night and day. Too flat, dry, compressed. Still badass songs, though. Sounds great live🤘 Oh and you gotta give credit to Richard Christy on Sound of Perseverance. Freakin ridiculously good drummer that nobody seems to ever talk about!

[@tenacious_JB]

Nice work, nothing to argue (even though Symbolic is my favourite). I'm not gonna try ranking these however, cause that would put either Human or Sound of Perseverance on 2nd or 3rd and thats seems kinda like a weird thing to do. What do we wanna next: Well you mentioned some bands, whos worst album is amazing, so how about those ;)

Here is my ranking of all their albums: 1: Human 2: Symbolic 3: The Sound of Perseverance 4: Individual Thought Patterns 5: Scream Bloody Gore 6: Leprosy 7: Spiritual Healing

[@GlassThirdEye]

The only celebrity death that legitimately made me sad was Chuck. At the time i had no idea he was sick and it was just so sudden. What a fucking tragedy.

[@hectorescobar9450]

1. The Sound Of Perseverance 6/5 (the Sound, emotional content and overall soul in this album is unmatched) 2. Individual Thought Patterns 5/5 (super dynamic and razor sharp riffs/melodies and one of the greatest guitar solos in ‘trapped on the corner’) 3. Symbolic 4.5/5 (super dynamic, catchy and powerful album, some songs can be predictable which takes some points out) 4. Human 4/5 (amazing mood, grooves and melodies, production is a little flat and songs do blend too much with each other as they all have a very similar sound) 5. Spiritual Healing low 4/5 ( really fun and accessible album, hooky and very catchy. Production is the worst on any death album. Everything feels ready distant and blurred.) 6. Scream Bloody Gore 3.5/5 (really atmospheric and still really fun to listen to. Production is a bit rough but it actually compliments the sound and feel of this album) 7. Leprocy 3/5 (straight forward in your face death metal goodness. It can feel a bit simple at times and too many bands have mimic the sound so much that it no longer stands out comparatively )

[@spencer4359]

Probably my favorite band off all time. Chuck was a true visionary and genius. What a musician, what a underrated lyricist too. Thank you for doing this!!!! 1. SOP- 5/5 Top 3 metal album all time. This blew my mine. The musicianship on this truly next level. What a final album, truly a masterpiece. 2. Symbolic- 5/5. 3. Human- 4.5/5 4. Spiritual healing- 4.5/5. The vocal production is the only slight flaw, from a lyrical perspective it is my favorite. 5 . Leprosy - 4/5 6. Individual though Patterns- 4/5 7. Scream bloody gore- 2.5/5 Only Death album i don't love. Just all sounds to similar. Never connected with it.

[@mr11maiden43]

1 - The sound of perserverance 2 - Symbolic 3 - Human 4 - Leprosy 5 - Scream Bloody Gore 6 - Spiritual Healing 7 - Individual Thought Patterns The worst is an 8.5/10 imo.

[@alexperry4691]

Personally I'd rank Spiritual Healing much higher, but I totally agree with ya on Sound of Perseverance, it's a monumental release and almost like a religious experience lol, especially the instrumental Voice of the Soul, it always makes me feel a bit emotional, probably cos it was the last thing Chuck did under the Death moniker.

[@CarnoProductions]

I do agree with some of the lists. I myself have a controversial rank. But I do like most of the albums. 1-6 is good 7 is worse of the worse 1. Leprosy 2. Spiritual Healing 3. Human 4. Symbolic 5.

[@lucasjankowski7117]

Nice review, however the Kiss cover on Human should not affect the overall rating of the album, because this cover isn't even included on the original version of Human and is only added as a bonus track on the reissue. After all it wasn't a Chuck intention to put it on Human as a "legitimate" track of the album, and we should respect that. For me it's a gradual progress regarding this band, so I would rank all the albums as they follow in their discography (with SBG at the bottom and SoP at the top of the list), though I would probably put ITP and Symbolic in the same spot - it's impossible for me to choose which one of the two is better.

[@SKREVR]

I was just getting to reply about the God of Thunder cover. It wasn't on my Human cassette back in the day. It's not even on my cd either. I don't have the re-issue

Scream Bloody Gore is a poser crushing masterpiece.

[@tylerhackner9731]

[@mcdgtodd]

Bravo! But Scream Bloody Gore is still the best Death EVER!

[@alexkalfakis5723]

Let me get this out of the way: The Sound of Perseverance is overrated as fuck. If I had to rank it, I would put a 3/5. It's good, but nowhere near as the masterpiece that everyone claims it is, and it never was intended to be a Death album in the first place, but rather a Control Denied album. The tracks Scavenger of Human Sorrow, Spirit Crusher and Flesh and the Power it Holds are great and effectively combine the aggression of old Death with their newer ultra tech approach. But the rest of the tracks just meander and lack aggression, and the overly clean, sterile production doesn't help in that matter either. I am waiting for everyone's hateful comments for this one. 🤣 In my opinion Death's bona fide masterpiece is Leprosy, a perfect example of what real death metal stands for and one of the greatest death metal albums of all time, with Scream Bloody Gore closely following, while their best from their later progressive era is definitely Symbolic.

[@epiklightz4773]

Wow

[@ppnats]

I had Symbolic playing nonstop in the car for many years. Then ITP and Sound of perseverance. Then Human, and the rest. I am convinced that Sound of Perseverance is not a Death Album, it always feels off, the more you listen to it. The painkiller cover is killer, but those solos are … simply lacking the punch, aggressive, melodic squeal, … Death, a death metal band, somehow made those solos sound wimpy, at least not at all with the motif and sound of the original song. For example, Flesh and the power it holds, killer riff… why cut it off with some power chords and … while they take a break from playing the song, in the middle of their song, I go take a smoke break - and I don’t even smoke. Voice of the soul, never understood why this track gets people so much. That being said, the musicianship is killer, drums, bass, everything. I just find the structure of the songs extremely boring, like Chuck was ready to move on and the label told him he had to release it under the Death brand. I would have been more interested in a Mayhem review. Bring on the Mayhem review.

[@Prod117]

I love how everyone has a different rank for death's discography.

[@leonlopez5704]

Serioously, I hate talking about Mayhem. They were scary when I was a Christian, but now I just see them as some douchey nerds.

Weak, waffling band - on their first album holds up, but good job, it's a 3/5 band overall - Slayer did it better, Slayer was darker, before them, and after them!
