depends if the timing of a release and/or it's creativity with the benefit of hindsight / retrospect is important to you



depends if peak creativity aligns with quality, as something 'creative' doesn't always produce the best end results



I heard this first, so despite the fact it was released later than most of their other releases, I cannot disregard that context. To me this is the original Death album, its how I discovered them and that moment changed my life forever. Is that a fair basis for music critique? Of course not, but then I'm not a critic, lol.



It's also just a massive jam and sometimes that's all I need (putting all the pretension aside for one minute), there aren't many albums that satisfy my cravings for impressive technical chops that are simultaneously stupid catchy / fun. It is the rarest of treasures in that regard.

this was also one of my first death albums



in contrast however i kept thinking to myself 'everyone says this is good so how can i not be enjoying it' so i forced myself to 'like' it bc it "had" to be good



eventually i realized holy shit i dont have to like everything everyone says is good and have hated prog ever since



was also very confused from everyone calling this dm bc i was like wtf it sounds nothing like scream or lep and doesnt seem very deathy at all

'check Laddio Bolocko'



was meaning to actually, thanks (I say meaning to, it conjures up vague memories or realising it existed and wanting to check... must be the distinctive name!)

Yeah, this is basically tech thrash throughout.

If I jammed Death all-day every day like a devout little disciple I know which one I’d most likely be afflicted with
