Even on this one? This definitely isn't as wanky as the next two, lol



To me, this one hits the sweet spot between the rawness of the older albums and the prog stuff of the later ones

Never understood why people tend to consider this one the lesser album of the final four (especially outside of Sputnik). This was always in my top 3 in Death's discog in general. The title track and Trapped in a Corner alone are enough to elevate it to that status... the rest of the fantastic songs are icing on the cake

For me, the top three are Symbolic, this, and Spiritual Healing. I know that last one is a bit of a weird choice, but I always thought that one deserved more love than it got. TSOP used to be in my top 3 (hell, it was my number 1 about a decade ago), but it seems to go further down my ranking every year or so

Hey, it definitely says something good about the band's quality when you can still give their worst album a 3 or higher (like you did with TSOP)

>Spiritual Healing [...] is a bit of a weird choice, but I always thought that one deserved more love than it got.



agreed



for almost any other dm band it would have been their magnum opus... completely mops the floor with cancer, benediction and the like at just being a solid well rounded osdm album

Their run from Human to this to Symbolic is definitely their peak for me.

people rate chuck too highly for the later stuff (which is funny because that era is both less creative in terms of in-the-moment riffs and borrows way more from already established prog metal) and nowhere near highly enough for the pre-human stuff



his songwriting and ability to just come up with interesting bits and make them flow naturally into one another even on the early records makes sooooo much 1989-1993 released straightforward osdm practically obsolete tbh



not many things are on that level, altars, severed survival, piece of time and a few others for sure

Yeah, it is pretty interesting how people always seem to consider something like TSOP the most progressive album by Death. I mean, in the TRADITIONAL sense it is. But those other records before it are definitely more progressive in the sense that they play with a lot more strange ideas in the spirit of just being adventurous and throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. TSOP is unfortunately a lot more calculated than that; I still enjoy the album quite a bit, but that's the part that's been starting to bug me a bit more

It's definitely too self-consciously "proggy" for its own good at times

The 2nd half is god tier tech death. What's y'all's take on the production? It seems pretty divisive amongst fans
