| In Memory Of Chuck Schuldiner (1967-2001)
Chuck Schuldiner more than just invented death metal. He was a gifted songwriter, expert guitarist and musical innovator, always pushing the boundaries and challenging himself with each subsequent recording, redefining the very notion of musical progression. Countless bands are indebted to Schuldiner and his work. With that said, I’d like to rank all of his albums based on my personal enjoyment. This is my first list, so don’t be too harsh! | | 1 |  | Death
Symbolic
The perfect blend of accessibility, technicality and raw power. Schuldiner’s finest hour. | | 2 |  | Death
Human
A tight, calculated and flawless work of art. | | 3 |  | Death
Spiritual Healing
A critically overlooked gem that serves as a textbook for classic death metal (and a foreshadowing of what Schuldiner would later accomplish). | | 4 |  | Death
Vivus!
The only available live recording from Schuldiner, featuring material from his final tour with Death. Holy shit, this release. It’s everything you want from a live Death album; raw and punishing. | | 5 |  | Death
The Sound of Perseverance
Death’s swan-song might be more impressive as a Prog metal album than a death metal album, but The Sound Of Perseverance reaffirms Chuck Schuldiner’s gift for ambitious, imaginative metal. | | 6 |  | Death
Individual Thought Patterns
Even with a tepid production job, this album still manages to deliver the goods. It’s melodic, aggressive and incredible. | | 7 |  | Death
Leprosy
Despite being only their second album, Leprosy clearly shows that Death has matured greatly since their debut. It’s a more structured, well-paced slab of punishing death metal. | | 8 |  | Death
Scream Bloody Gore
The one that started it all, and the one that began a legacy. If you can get past the low-budget production and a lack of structure, you’ll be in for a real treat. | | 9 |  | Control Denied
The Fragile Art of Existence
While it is a good album, The Fragile Art Of Existence has a few elements that don’t exactly fit. For example, the leads aren’t as memorable as those on the Death albums, and there are some tonal issues. That aside, this is an enjoyable and interesting release. | |
