| All Death Albums Ranked In My Opinion
Death is one of my favorite bands of all time. Every single album is great, and that's one of the many things I love about this band. I can't argue at all with anybody about what their best album is at all, because each album could be argued as the best. Each album is different and stands great on it's own. If you have not yet listened to this band, I highly recommend you do so. | | 7 |  | Death
Scream Bloody Gore
This is definitely my least favorite Death album, probably because I still am not a huge death metal fan, and this is definitely the least accessible of the seven. However, it is an extremely fun listen. The title track, Zombie Ritual, and Evil Dead are some of Death's best songs. The opening track Infernal Death is another good song. Denial of Life is another personal favorite, and has a surprisingly catchy chorus. My least favorite track would be Regurgitated Guts. My main problem with Scream Bloody Gore, is that a decent number of the tracks in the middle of the album start to blend together during full album listens. Individually the tracks work, just not so much together. The album has a great start and end, but a somewhat repetitive middle. The short run time definitely helps this album. Rating - 7.5/10 | | 6 |  | Death
Leprosy
This album is a classic. The album artwork is so good, and the drum sound on Leprosy is ginormous. Chuck's vocals are brutal, but are much easier to understand than on SBG. My favorite song is Open Casket, which is a chilling track with some awesome guitar riffs. Pull the Plug is a classic. Left to Die pummels you, and the title track is great as well. This album is not without a dud though. The song Primitive Ways is forgettable, and is too similar to previous tracks to stand out in any way. It's not bad, just generic. Every other song on Leprosy is great though. Rating - 8.5/10 | | 5 |  | Death
Spiritual Healing
Most people consider this Death's weakest outing, and I understand why. It is an awkward transitional album, and the effect on Chuck's vocals can be a little off putting. However, I love it. Chuck sounds great to me, the production is good, and James Murphy contributes some great guitar solos. The title track is one of the band's best, and you are lying if you tell me you don't headbang to the chorus of this song. Other favorites include the opening track Living Monstrosity, Altering the Future, and Within the Mind. Low Life is a fun song, and so is Killing Spree. If I had to choose a least favorite track, it would be Genetic Reconstruction. This song is by no means bad, and has a very memorable chorus. This album just hints at what was to come in the future.

The Sound of Perseverance
The next four albums are all masterpieces. Not a single weak song on any of them. This album is a very powerful one, and is the most uplifting in the Death discography. Richard Christy's drum performance on TSOP is awesome, and Chuck sounds like a banshee. His shrieks cut like a night. My favorite song on this album would definitely be Spirit Crusher, which is chock-full of awesome guitar riffs. Other favorites would be the blistering opener Scavenger of Human Sorrow, A Moment Of Clarity, which features an emotional guitar solo, and the cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller. I actually prefer this version to the original, which is a metal classic (deservedly so). Chuck's vocal performance is insane. My only problem is that it closes out Death's career with a cover. Another highlight is the beautiful instrumental Voice of the Soul. My least favorite song on here would be Story to Tell, which is still a great song. Definitely listen to this album if you are yet to hear it. Rating - 10/10 | | 3 |  | Death
Individual Thought Patterns
I think lots of people overlook this album. This is probably because it is sandwiched in between the two albums that are usually considered their best. I definitely did. I never got this album. It never clicked with me. However, in the past few months, I began listening to the album more, and actually paying attention to the music. This album has some of Death's best tracks. My favorite is hands down Trapped in a Corner, which has great riffs and awesome guitar solos. Other favorites include the heavy hitting opener Overactive Imagination, the title track, and The Philosopher. One thing that cannot be overlooked on this album is Steve Di Gorgio's fretless bass performance. My least favorite track would be Nothing Is Everything. This album is a masterpiece. If you have listened to Individual Thought Patterns before and not cared for it, I urge you to revisit it. Rating - 10/10 | | 2 |  | Death
Human
This album is one of my favorite albums ever. It is 30 plus minutes of brutal, technical death metal. Not a single weak track. I really could name every single song as a recommended track. Even the bonus track, a cover of KISS's God of Thunder, is worth listening to. My personal favorite song on here is Lack Of Comprehension. Other favorites include the amazing opener Flattening Of Emotions, and Suicide Machine. Cosmic Sea is an awesome instrumental, and Together As One features one of Chuck's best choruses. If I was forced to choose a least favorite, it would be Vacant Planets, which is still a great closing track. Props to Sean Reinert for his amazing drumming on here. Rating - 10/10 | | 1 |  | Death
Symbolic
This is my 2nd favorite album of all time. Every single song is incredible. From the opening title track to the journey of a closer that is Perennial Quest. Gene Hoglan's masterful drumming, along with Chuck's best vocal performance makes for a great album. My favorite song would definitely be Crystal Mountain. Gene's drumming makes the song, along with the genius acoustic outro. This is my favorite Death song, and one of my favorite ever. A close second would be Empty Words, which has a great chorus. Every song on Symbolic has something that makes it worthwhile to listen to, whether it be the solo on Zero Tolerance, the catchy riffs of Sacred Serenity, Gene's drum performance on 1,000 Eyes, or the beautiful acoustic outro of Perennial Quest. Every song has something. My least favorite song is 1,000 Eyes, but it is a better song than most bands will ever write. The production on this album is great as well. Symbolic is pure metal perfection. RIP Chuck Schuldiner Rating - 10/10 | |
