'The production sounds cleaner.....and Schuldiner was finally starting to ditch the gory lyrics in favor of more social and philosophical issues.'
This is what I don't like about the album. The riffs are good all over, but the sound is super trebly and I really don't like Chuck's vocal delivery on this at all; the lyrics are very basic and predictable in format, and their content feels almost immature or maybe even angsty, which feels weird to say considering the content from previous albums, but they lack depth and don't feel genuine. The vocals also feel too loud in the mix which highlights the worst part of the album for me.
I wish I liked this more; the potential is there, but I don't think it was fully realized. Still new to the band, so maybe this will grow on me, but there are several other albums in the discog that demand my attention.

Yeah this was my favorite by them for a looooooongggg time.
Now it's Symbolic and Leprosy, but this album isn't that far behind. Then again I think I 5d like almost all of these guys lol, Death and Meshuggah are the only perfect bands imo

This is a perfect bridge between their pure DM early work and their more experimental progressive and melodic style. The guitar soloing and interplay between Chuck and James just kills here and the new themes for the lyrics appeal to me way more than the horror movie style lyrics of the previous two.

I don't think it's possible for me to be permanently burned out on any Death record. I mean yeah sometimes I'll overplay them and get sick of some albums for a while, but it never lasts but a few months at most.
ITP is one album I've never gotten sick of though, no matter how many times I listen to it. Just doesn't happen.

TSOP is easily Death’s best...sorry y’all can’t handle the prog.
Anyways, I don’t get why people will rank this last when Leprosy B-sides aka Spiritual Healing exists...
Edit: I thought we were on scream bloody gore right now. Whaaaa!! This album is boring and clunky and just sounds
Like a lesser version of Leprosy. You have that awesome opening riff on Altering The Future and then it turns into that clunky verse riff and the rest of the song becomes generic. That’s how the entire album is imo: one awesome riff buried beneath a bunch of mediocre ones.

No way. Nothing about this album is mediocre. All the riffs are killer and the solo trade-offs are insane, especially in Low Life.
I mean yeah Leprosy is better, but this still slays.

The solo trade-off in the t/t sends shivers down my spine everytime. So well done.
