@@bfkc111 What a weird remark. Listen to anything by Death before Human... or ANY other pre-Human death/thrash album for that matter. These drumpatterns clearly aren't inspired by Possessed, Sepultura, Morbid Angel or Kreator. Sean helped bring jazz /fusion drumming into extreme metal. Nevermind his ridiculous kicks on this album. Only Sandoval could really keep up with those tempos, but not with this groove. Pretty exceptional if you ask me for a teen without the perks of having internet or trigger modules. Without Reinert's drumming on this album we probably wouldn't have the styles of Longstreth, Kolias, Rudinger, Grossmann, Mounier or even Thomas Haake.

@@bestguywhotellsitlikeitis True, but I’d say James Murphy helped much more, just look at the list of bands he was in, nothing but greats. Death, Testament, Disincarnate, Cancer, his solo stuff, the dude is a killer guitarist.
I always loved how Death doesn't have one album which stands, head and shoulders, above the rest. You can pretty much say you love any one of them the best and most of us fans would be like, "cool".
Simon Psychosis yes it's a difficult decision on choosing a best album since all their new albums at the. Time seemed better than the previous ones I still really like this one for the diversity it had I can't choose either Its extremely difficult to choose the kings of extreme metals best work
The last one is a heavy metal record. It's The Fragile Art of Existance with Chuck on vocals, basically. But still an awesome album. TO FORGIVE IS TO SUFFER!
Reinert was 20 years old when he recorded this monumental colossus. Everything changed right after. Say what you want, but for me, this is the best extreme metal drum-work of all times.
Same been listening to metal here and there since middle school but didn't get INTO it since about last year . So many crazy Timeless bands that are melting my mind. Heard necrophagist last week.
I was only 6 years old when I heard this album. Which was about 2003. I was going through my older brother’s CD collection when he wasn’t home and this was the first album I picked up. Put it in the CD player, and I was blown away. I remember it clearly. I was a fan of Death and Metal pretty much my whole life. 23 years old now, and still going strong with my love for Death!! I’m extremely jealous of the people who got to see Death live back in the day. You are all truly lucky and must’ve been kick ass. Sad that I will never get to attend a Death concert. R.I.P Chuck and Sean
Amen brother. It’s sobering for me to read that. I did get to see them on this tour and individual. Also met Sean after a cynic show. I can say even then you knew you were seeing something special, but I wish I appreciated it more. They were the tightest live metal band at the time.
this band used to stand out of the crowd of the death metal scene. Lyrics are mature about human psychology, music is so marvelous, the brutal voice of Chuck expressed pain, melodies are mind tripping, each one band member was so ridiculously talented.
I find his vocals enjoyable and interesting to listen to in all of his work. Pretty amazing package when you add that to his technical guitar playing and compositional skills.
@@atoma8921 I randomly picked an interessed in the Band because i saw a Top 10 List called 10 unforgettable things about Chuck Schuldiner i found that very interessting and then i watched the Death documentary on youtube and was blown away by the skill of the musicians on Human and Individual Thought Patterns i dont even listen to Death Metal THAT much only Gojira and Dethklok are the ONLY Death Metal Band i know
@@BluntAnims Yeah i didnt even know that drummer of Cynic and the drummer of Testament Gene Hoglan was in Death Yeah after You get used to the vocals its amazing music. took me some time. I just saw a video on youtube 6 days ago by Loudwire called 10 unforgettable things about Chuck Schuldiner i a friend of mine mentioned him as his guitar hero 10 years ago so i klicked the video. And i was just blown away by the Guys personality Planing on getting Human and Individual Thought Patterns allready bought Symbolic. I prefer the later more complex stuff. Human is my favorite so far. I also like the Death Metal Bands Gojira and Dethklok.
Fuck man, everytime I come back to this album, I remember high-school me plucking this off the shelf of my local FYE in 2009 and being totally unprepared for the life altering course it took me on once that cd hit my little Sony boombox. Chuck is still the GOAT to me all these years on, and all the talent he brought along with him made Death the gold standard of the genre. To this day a profound source of inspiration to the music I make.
Ok, I think i have a problem with this album, i like it too much!! Since it's release, i abused of at least 2 cassettes and 3 cds, they all died of exhaustion. 30 years later, i still listen to it AT LEAST once a week, it's like i'm possessed by it! I'm sure if i have childrens, their first words will be "Human"!
I've always been a thrash metal kind of guy. I've recently submerged myself into Death and now I have a whole new appreciation for death metal. I had a pretty bad stereotype in my brain about death metal and Chuck really fixed that! Stay metal dudes.
What stereotypes did you have? Dig into the other unique bands early recrods that bring something specific to the table like Autopsy (Death's first drummer's band), Incantation, Suffocation, Demilich, Blood Incantation (recent band but they are astoundingly original and fresh), Dismember (for having obvious melodic parts tastefully laced into their savagery). There's a plethora of other crucial bands but those should be enough to get you wanting to keep on exploring IMO.
Jordan I honestly thought it was going to be meaningless lyrics with repetitive guitar riffs with no solos or musical talent. obviously I was wrong and love it
Well that's awesome. In my personal opinion its possibly the most varied and intricate genre in metal but that's partially because I love the rhythms and raw, crushing production styles that sound primal/cosmic. If you ever need some recs just ask!
Jordan hey man can you recommend me some good death meta?, I don't really care so much for the gore/brutal aspect of it, meaningful lyrics and riffs that go well with it, thanks!
This Album started the all technical battle!!! Even Gene Hoglan said it was only after hearing this album he started to incorporate his jazz influences and technics in Metal drumming.... Human is a legendary album Sad that a lot of new very gifted kids dont know this band.
Flattening of Emotions. What a masterpiece of a song to start this violent rollercoaster into the bowels of metal...and what a legacy Chuck and Death left for us. Blessed to have lived during his time and enjoy a band that evolved into a technical monster that is overshadowed by none other than themselves.
So sad to hear about Sean's passing... One of the best drummers metal has ever had... Godspeed my friend... Say hi to Chuck for us, ok?... you will be dearly missed.
This album is , arguably, one of, if not, THE greatest technical death metal albums ever made. Chuck Schuldiner… Sean Reinert…Paul Masdival… Steve Digiorgio… all masters at their craft. R.I.P Chuck… taken WAY too soon😔
I actually prefer Individual Thought Patterns slightly to this one, but that doesn't mean I don't consider this one of the best metal albums ever. Symbolic is a masterpiece. I think if they would have mixed Steve's bass the way it was intended to be this one would maybe be my favorite.
See Through Dreams is my favorite song cos i have a friend who slowly went blind due to a genetic disorder. To this day it amazes me how a person's other senses become enhanced due to the lack of one....especially sight. "Close your eyes and imagine to be without what we take for granted every time we open our eyes."
I'm 45 and I've been listening to heavy music since I was 14, but there is no better than Death, it's just unimaginable, and what lyrics are just incredible...
HAAA HELL YEA IM 54 YR YOUNG AN STILL SINCE BK N 1985 IVE BN BANGING AN MOSHING LIKE I DONT GIVE SHIT !!!! DRI 👹👹👹 AND THRASHING TO THRASH AN REAL DEATH METAL SINCE LUV THIS HARD ASS SHITTT THRASH TILL DEATH!!!!!!!
RIP Sean. An absolute monster. The best Death record, and Cynic would not have been the same without this guy's chops. This man literally changed the metal drumming landscape forever.
I'm nearing my 50s...yet I have rediscovered the sound of Death... Refreshing as it was back then when I had my first leprosy album... Listening without prejudice. Chuck, deeply missed.
RIP Sean. Your drumming helped refine me as a metal drummer. Your precision and discipline on the instrument. You stood alone. You made even the simplest fills sound like the way they were meant to sound. Only you had that unique feel. Dynamics, power, speed, precision, heart.
Well said Chris. Sean will be with us forever in our hearts and mind. he kicked it too the next level as you described it fully in detail his awesome skills in drumming but mainly a super down to earth person who i meet twice.
Me and Chuck were in the same high school. Lyman in Longwood. Suburb of Orlando. A year a head of me i saw him in his MANTAS cut off jean jacket...awesome
Anyone who's thinking about writing a metal album : take notes ... This is the Dead Sea Scrolls of music right here ... a Bible for those attaining higher writing abilities. Wonderous ... Magical ... Dimensional ... Inspiring ... Thought Prevoking ... Incredible. Even the Basslines are a " life changing " experiance, LISTEN !!! " Suicide Machine " … listen to the bass and Chuck's vocal placement …
Right!? The bass lines are out of this world. I remembering buying this album when it first came out and thinking what an incredible transition for Schuldiner but the bass wasn't as audible.... Hail Steve Di Giorgio👊
Human was the first death album I heard when I was fourteen. It blew me away! I was barely getting into heavy music then and once I found Death, I never was the same!
I just want to point out that this is probably about the best death metal lead guitar you will ever hear anywhere. The technicality. The phrasing. The feeling. Chuck was a visionary and virtuoso. You don't hear guitar solos like that anymore, if you hear them at all... The rhythm section's brilliance speaks for itself as well here.
When I first heard Sean behind the kit,I could hardly believe that such complicated patterns were incorporated into metal drumming.Sometimes it almost made me quit drumming,but fortunately I didn't.Sean was and still is one of the drummers that I will always look up to and pay homage to.Keep on drumming on the other side,brother.🖤
Is this the remaster? It only says reissue (which would imply its not remastered) but I seen to remember barely being able to hear the bass in the original mix, but it's super clear here
WeWantYouToStay I'm pretty sure its remastered because Scream bloody gore's mix is the same with the bass pretty loud and high in the mix compared to original that you could just about hear the bass. not positive tho.
@@onenonlyheart his thoughts was as pure and as realistic as it gets .....when you look at them from a Human perspective..........not from religious peoples perspective
@@jkf3169 What if, like....*takes huge bong rip* we all lived on all the other planets, man? *takes another* And they're all empty cause we fuckin killed em, man. That's fuckin real dude.
Probably my 20th time listening to this album... never noticed how much "See Through Dreams" slams at 23:34 or how bodacious that solo right before it is. That's the real sign of a classic. Every time you spin it there's new appreciation for parts you missed the first couple of dozens of spins through.
FAREWELL SEAN! You set the bar for Progressive Death Metal drumming bringing different influences to the game, super creative and incredible musician. Our songs wouldn't be the same without your contributions to music. Give a listen to Human and Cynic today... RIP Master!
Death is the only band that I struggle with deciding what my favourite album is. I have some that I prefer over others but narrowing it down to one is next to impossible for me.
I've listened to them all and I like 'Human' and 'Individual Thought Patterns' the best because these two are just so fucking brutal and ferocious. I got 'Human' ahead by a hair because the songs are more catchy and enjoyable. I also prefer Chuck's vocals on these two albums because he sounds like a fucking lion as opposed to an emo girl on the final two albums.

If you haven't heard this before and you enjoy it, buy the album. If you have heard this before and own the album, buy one more. You know it's that good. Rip Chuck & Sean...
My favorite death metal album of all time. I still remember my jaw dropping the first time I heard it. Everything is amazing, the riffs, the arrangements, the bass, etc... but what caught my attention most was the incredible drumming. RIP Chuck and Sean.
Like everyone says, the best part of Death is that you could make a good case for saying that about any of their albums. Although, Perseverance is kind of meh to me.
@@Userius1 I like TSOP slightly more than Symbolic, at least musically. His high pitched vocals on that album took me some getting used to. This album was a total turning point for Chuck as he went into a more technical direction with his music. I currently have the original 1991 pressing from Relativity and the 1998 repress from Century Media, which sounds slightly less compressed than the original. In your opinion is this remaster worth picking up?
@@whatshumor1High pitched like on The Sound of Perseverance? One vocalist that comes to mind is maybe Anders Friden of In Flames. On their albums Clayman, Reroute To Remain, Soundtrack To Your Escape, and Come Clarity...he occasionally belts out high vocals. Tomas Lindberg from At the Gates is pretty similar too. He sings pretty high on Terminal Spirit Disease and Slaughter of the Soul.
As a gay drummer growing up, I always struggled to be true to myself and feel like I was safe. I listened to Death religiously, having no idea Sean was gay, and only finding out in 2014 that he was. I sometimes wondered if I would have become a more devoted metal drummer if I had known that Sean was too, and that I had a role model. I am heartbroken. Thank you Sean for being a role model, and an absolutely frightening drummer. Thank you for giving me aural solace during some difficult younger years. Big love to your husband, family and friends.
Metal is not about your sexual preferences, why would you not feel safe? Moreover, there have been plenty of gay people in heavy metal and nobody cares. It's all about music...
I'm in a Death discography marathon and so far this is their best album EASILY, this is beyond great
It's more than an album, it's a friend!
@Dave_Shredder bought this album back in 8th grade. Still listen to it at 45yrs old. Old friend indeed.
This is their best album. IMO, of course.
Chuck Schuldiner, Steve Di Giorgio, Sean Reinert, Paul Masvidal and Scott Burns: perfect sound.
Sean recorded this when he was 19. Incredible.
Rest in peace.

1. Flattening Of Emotions
Where is the person that could have been
Who, what took over, when did the end begin
Should we not prepare for the uncertain
Mysteries of our life, of our destiny
See things that are not there
Intruding voices
What went wrong to their picture perfect life
They once knew - Flattening of emotions
[Solos: Schuldiner, Masvidal]
A mind shared by an uninvited stranger
Which comes and goes as choose to appear
Should we not prepare for the uncertain
Mysteries of our life, of our destiny
See things that are not there
Intruding voices
What went wrong to their picture perfect life
They once knew - Flattening of emotions
2. Suicide Machine
Controlling their lives
Deciding when and how they will die
A victim of someone else's choice
The ones who suffer have no voice
Manipulating destiny
When it comes to living, no one seems to care
But when it comes to wanting out
Those with power, will be there
Prolong the pain
How long will it last?
Suicide machine
A request to die with dignity
Is that too much to ask?
Suicide machine
How easy it is to deny the pain
Of someone else's suffering
[Solos: Schuldiner, Masvidal]
Robbed of natural abilities
In death they now seek tranquility
In a confused state of mind

Manipulating destiny

Prolong the pain
How long will it last?

3. Together As One
Labelled a creation of evil
Ridiculed for their shocking appearance
Sharing both pleasure and pain
Two minds, two hearts, one soul
Separating mentally
An illusion of privacy
Together - they absorb each other's lives
As One - they will live and they will die
A living hell has begun
[Solo: Schuldiner]
Displayed as a nightmare
Criticized through words and eyes
As they stare
To the normal it seems grotesque
Connected by a bond of flesh
Sharing both pleasure and pain
Two minds, two hearts, one soul
Separating mentally
An illusion of privacy
Together - they absorb each other's lives
As One - they will live and they will die
A living hell has begun
4. Secret Face
There is a mask
That covers up one's true intentions
Once removed, things become very clear
Analyze behavior patterns to see beneath
The person that is presented to you
Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face
[Solo: Schuldiner]
What's on the outside
Is not always all that is real
Live by caution, what I feel
When things are reversed
People are shown for what they are
The truth is revealed
Banish the false
Pacifying moments with an acquired disguise to obtain
The things they want
By the anguish of someone else
Materialistic motives are fulfilled
Cherish the true
Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face
5. Lack Of Comprehension
A condemning fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within
Lies
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliché
Compelled by self-resentment
[Solo: Schuldiner]
Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
Lies
So easy to blame the
Everlasting guilt on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of a life
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your help in the ending of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliché
Compelled by self-resentment
6. See Through Dreams
Born into darkness
Where sounds portray the images that are out
Out of reach from my sight
Which has been denied
Hands change into my eyes
Body senses intensified
Sight so close yet far away
In dreams my thoughts take their form
To give memories identity
Through dreams I obtain
The ability to connect sight with sound
[Solo: Schuldiner]
Close your eyes and imagine to be without
What we take for granted every time we open our eyes
A permanent shadow to never step away
Feel the dark in the cold
Feel the warmth of the light
Which has been denied
Hands change into my eyes
Body senses intensified
Sight so close yet far away
In dreams my thoughts take their form
To give memories identity
Through dreams I obtain
The ability to connect sight with sound
7. Cosmic Sea
[Instrumental]
[Solos: Schuldiner, Masvidal]
8. Vacant Planets
Mysterious object of flight on a voyage
To correct what they have done, what we are doing
Perhaps submerged, living in the inner most
Recesses of the planet - no choice but
To adapt to an underground world
Limiting our passages of thought
Are they the examples of regression
A life form's abusive progression
In a realm so vast, we sit among the Vacant Planets
[Solos: Masvidal, Schuldiner]
So many worlds yet to be seen that once have shared
The same effects that come from greed, mass production
Perhaps submerged, living in the inner most
Recesses of the planet - no choice but
To adapt to an underground world
Limiting our passages of thought
Are they the examples of regression
A life form's abusive progression
You sir, are the real MVP.

I’m a bit of a Death geek and a bigger Human one, and I can 100% say that there’s no Masvidal solo on Suicide Machine.
that lyrics, from the early 90ies, are still conspiracies for a lot of people in the 2020ies !!
ruhe in frieden, lieber chuck (see you live, at the "full of hate"-tour, in summer1993)
Bravo
Chuck singlehandedly elevated death metal from "passing novelty" to "high art."
I dunno, Paul Masvidal certainly helped.
It was a passing novelty it popularity faded in the mid to late 90s

@@bestguywhotellsitlikeitis True, but I’d say James Murphy helped much more, just look at the list of bands he was in, nothing but greats. Death, Testament, Disincarnate, Cancer, his solo stuff, the dude is a killer guitarist.
I always loved how Death doesn't have one album which stands, head and shoulders, above the rest. You can pretty much say you love any one of them the best and most of us fans would be like, "cool".
Simon Psychosis Apart from the last album for some reason I really cant get into it.
Toxik-Vermin It's cool that at least you got into that one.
Oh I think I meant that I like all the albums by them but not their last one.
Simon Psychosis yes it's a difficult decision on choosing a best album since all their new albums at the. Time seemed better than the previous ones I still really like this one for the diversity it had I can't choose either Its extremely difficult to choose the kings of extreme metals best work
The last one is a heavy metal record. It's The Fragile Art of Existance with Chuck on vocals, basically. But still an awesome album. TO FORGIVE IS TO SUFFER!
Secret Face is underrated as fuck.
the best
Steve DiGiorgio's woman is satisfied due to his fingers speed lmao
This album is fucking perfect from start to finish!
one of the very few metal albums -I can listen to multiple times in a row, at Maximum volumes & never grow tired of...
Came to appreciate Sean Reinert, maybe a little too late. Rest in Peace Big Guy!!
It's never too late
Me too listening this piece for the first time is priceless. Envy me

@@mydixiewrecked315 Correct
Reinert was 20 years old when he recorded this monumental colossus. Everything changed right after. Say what you want, but for me, this is the best extreme metal drum-work of all times.
Totally agree!
Such absolute craft master, i cant even believe he’s gone, never forget, always will remain his soul on this tracks
he was master of dynamics, best drummer in metal and maybe music in general world has even known.
And he didn't even consider himself as a metal drummer.
@@nikoko4090 maybe thats what made him so good. and maybe thats why most "metal" drummers suck
That drum Intro at Flattering of Emotions is one of the greatest drum intros i ve ever heard
I prefer together as one
One of the few death metal bands that really valued dynamic contrast
Whenever I start listening to any DEATH's album, I think it's the best one
R.I.P. Mr. Reinert.
I was really shocked ... When did he die ???
Their heaviest album for me.
Man this album's lineup was insane. Chuck, Sean Reinert, Paul Masvidal and Steve Di Giorgio.
Pretty new to metal, this is easily one of the best i've heard yet
Damn you're starting quite heavy😂 it took me 2 years of listening to sabaton and iron maiden before I got to death
@@zsjb_ death is very easy to get into.
@@gillaliglaou2840 in death metal,yes.
Same been listening to metal here and there since middle school but didn't get INTO it since about last year . So many crazy Timeless bands that are melting my mind. Heard necrophagist last week.
try necrophagist or old The berzerker
I was only 6 years old when I heard this album. Which was about 2003. I was going through my older brother’s CD collection when he wasn’t home and this was the first album I picked up. Put it in the CD player, and I was blown away. I remember it clearly. I was a fan of Death and Metal pretty much my whole life. 23 years old now, and still going strong with my love for Death!! I’m extremely jealous of the people who got to see Death live back in the day. You are all truly lucky and must’ve been kick ass. Sad that I will never get to attend a Death concert. R.I.P Chuck and Sean
Amen brother. It’s sobering for me to read that. I did get to see them on this tour and individual. Also met Sean after a cynic show. I can say even then you knew you were seeing something special, but I wish I appreciated it more. They were the tightest live metal band at the time.
this band used to stand out of the crowd of the death metal scene. Lyrics are mature about human psychology, music is so marvelous, the brutal voice of Chuck expressed pain, melodies are mind tripping, each one band member was so ridiculously talented.
The only band who had only god tier musicians
I’ve always appreciated how intelligible and crisp Chuck’s vocals are. Always lyrically interesting, always musically pummeling.
I find his vocals enjoyable and interesting to listen to in all of his work. Pretty amazing package when you add that to his technical guitar playing and compositional skills.
The Bass and drum sound on this absolutely amazing
Yes the remix made them sound so fucking good.
@@atoma8921
I randomly picked an interessed in the Band because i saw a Top 10 List called 10 unforgettable things about Chuck Schuldiner i found that very interessting and then i watched the Death documentary on youtube and was blown away by the skill of the musicians on Human and Individual Thought Patterns i dont even listen to Death Metal THAT much only Gojira and Dethklok are the ONLY Death Metal Band i know
Well, hope you enjoy Death! I'm in a Death cover band in New Zealand!!! We love death! :) @@sheldoncooper8199

I also like the Death Metal Bands Gojira and Dethklok.
Nice man, Also like Gojira and Dethklok! \m/ @@sheldoncooper8199
I bought this when I was 19 and still listening to it 30 yrs later. Greatest metal album ever recorded. Every single song delivers
Fuck man, everytime I come back to this album, I remember high-school me plucking this off the shelf of my local FYE in 2009 and being totally unprepared for the life altering course it took me on once that cd hit my little Sony boombox. Chuck is still the GOAT to me all these years on, and all the talent he brought along with him made Death the gold standard of the genre. To this day a profound source of inspiration to the music I make.
Ok, I think i have a problem with this album, i like it too much!! Since it's release, i abused of at least 2 cassettes and 3 cds, they all died of exhaustion. 30 years later, i still listen to it AT LEAST once a week, it's like i'm possessed by it! I'm sure if i have childrens, their first words will be "Human"!
its an album ive been going back to for nearly 30 years now!
Lack of comprehension, Suicide Machine, Secret Face, Flattening of emotions... What a great album Human is.
together as one too

RIP Sean and Chuck
I've always been a thrash metal kind of guy. I've recently submerged myself into Death and now I have a whole new appreciation for death metal. I had a pretty bad stereotype in my brain about death metal and Chuck really fixed that!
Stay metal dudes.
What stereotypes did you have? Dig into the other unique bands early recrods that bring something specific to the table like Autopsy (Death's first drummer's band), Incantation, Suffocation, Demilich, Blood Incantation (recent band but they are astoundingly original and fresh), Dismember (for having obvious melodic parts tastefully laced into their savagery). There's a plethora of other crucial bands but those should be enough to get you wanting to keep on exploring IMO.
Jordan I honestly thought it was going to be meaningless lyrics with repetitive guitar riffs with no solos or musical talent. obviously I was wrong and love it
Well that's awesome. In my personal opinion its possibly the most varied and intricate genre in metal but that's partially because I love the rhythms and raw, crushing production styles that sound primal/cosmic. If you ever need some recs just ask!
Jordan hey man can you recommend me some good death meta?, I don't really care so much for the gore/brutal aspect of it, meaningful lyrics and riffs that go well with it, thanks!

My favorite Death album. Sean Reinert lives on through his drumming and music.
This feels both heavy and vulnerable. Very emotional album.
Amazing rest in peace chuck
This Album started the all technical battle!!! Even Gene Hoglan said it was only after hearing this album he started to incorporate his jazz influences and technics in Metal drumming.... Human is a legendary album
Sad that a lot of new very gifted kids dont know this band.
It was Bill Ward who first used jazz influences in metal drumming
Flattening of Emotions. What a masterpiece of a song to start this violent rollercoaster into the bowels of metal...and what a legacy Chuck and Death left for us. Blessed to have lived during his time and enjoy a band that evolved into a technical monster that is overshadowed by none other than themselves.
Dozer Roman Absolutely!
So sad to hear about Sean's passing... One of the best drummers metal has ever had... Godspeed my friend... Say hi to Chuck for us, ok?... you will be dearly missed.
This album is , arguably, one of, if not, THE greatest technical death metal albums ever made. Chuck Schuldiner… Sean Reinert…Paul Masdival… Steve Digiorgio… all masters at their craft. R.I.P Chuck… taken WAY too soon😔
Absolutely
R.I.P. Chuck and Sean
I actually prefer Individual Thought Patterns slightly to this one, but that doesn't mean I don't consider this one of the best metal albums ever. Symbolic is a masterpiece. I think if they would have mixed Steve's bass the way it was intended to be this one would maybe be my favorite.
@@nealandrus6666 bass on ITP is just next level
@@nealandrus6666 Human then Symbolic my best two

Великолепный альбом, переслушиваю, плачу😢
RIP Sean. Your drumming helped refine me as a metal drummer. Your precision and discipline on the instrument. You stood alone. You made even the simplest fills sound like the way they were meant to sound. Only you had that unique feel. Dynamics, power, speed, precision, heart.
Well said Chris. Sean will be with us forever in our hearts and mind. he kicked it too the next level as you described it fully in detail his awesome skills in drumming but mainly a super down to earth person who i meet twice.

the same to me...I learned to play fast double bass playing Lack of...and other songs...in that time, it was excpetional...hats off
Every track he did on drums were like paintings. So refined and class. Hypersensitive to his craft.

Anyone who's thinking about writing a metal album : take notes ...
This is the Dead Sea Scrolls of music right here ... a Bible for those attaining higher writing abilities.
Wonderous ... Magical ... Dimensional ... Inspiring ... Thought Prevoking ... Incredible.
Even the Basslines are a " life changing " experiance, LISTEN !!! " Suicide Machine " … listen to the bass and Chuck's vocal placement …

This reissue was really needed, now we can finally hear the bass !
barely
Right!? The bass lines are out of this world. I remembering buying this album when it first came out and thinking what an incredible transition for Schuldiner but the bass wasn't as audible.... Hail Steve Di Giorgio👊
Voivod!!!🤘
@@enijize1234 What do you mean barely? The bass is too loud in this mix. I disagree with OP too.
Human was the first death album I heard when I was fourteen. It blew me away! I was barely getting into heavy music then and once I found Death, I never was the same!
i remember being 14 and finding scream bloody gore on the album rack. it blew me away...lol i , too, haven't looked back. rip evil chuck.
What an absolutely perfect album, a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
never a bad time to listen to an album of this caliber...any fucking day of any decade. why not today?
The riffs @ both 4:38 & 22:09 are in major key (D)! Just to remind you how brutal Death can be yet so creative
A LOT of Flattening of Emotions is in a major key. Even Chuck's solo is clearly outlining phrygian dominant
I just want to point out that this is probably about the best death metal lead guitar you will ever hear anywhere. The technicality. The phrasing. The feeling.
Chuck was a visionary and virtuoso. You don't hear guitar solos like that anymore, if you hear them at all...
The rhythm section's brilliance speaks for itself as well here.
Possibly the greatest death metal album of all time

Is this the remaster? It only says reissue (which would imply its not remastered) but I seen to remember barely being able to hear the bass in the original mix, but it's super clear here
WeWantYouToStay I'm pretty sure its remastered because Scream bloody gore's mix is the same with the bass pretty loud and high in the mix compared to original that you could just about hear the bass. not positive tho.
One of the most amazing death metal albums ever produced. Period!

Death is the only band that I struggle with deciding what my favourite album is. I have some that I prefer over others but narrowing it down to one is next to impossible for me.
I've listened to them all and I like 'Human' and 'Individual Thought Patterns' the best because these two are just so fucking brutal and ferocious. I got 'Human' ahead by a hair because the songs are more catchy and enjoyable. I also prefer Chuck's vocals on these two albums because he sounds like a fucking lion as opposed to an emo girl on the final two albums.
211Appolo For me there are many Bands were I cant decide my favourite album.
See I like Symbolic the best to each their own.
Human and Individual though patterns are the best. That wasn't hard
For me it both Symbolick and TSOP
Controlling their lives
Deciding when and how they will die

Like everyone says, the best part of Death is that you could make a good case for saying that about any of their albums. Although, Perseverance is kind of meh to me.
@@Userius1 I like TSOP slightly more than Symbolic, at least musically. His high pitched vocals on that album took me some getting used to. This album was a total turning point for Chuck as he went into a more technical direction with his music. I currently have the original 1991 pressing from Relativity and the 1998 repress from Century Media, which sounds slightly less compressed than the original. In your opinion is this remaster worth picking up?
@@whatshumor1High pitched like on The Sound of Perseverance? One vocalist that comes to mind is maybe Anders Friden of In Flames. On their albums Clayman, Reroute To Remain, Soundtrack To Your Escape, and Come Clarity...he occasionally belts out high vocals. Tomas Lindberg from At the Gates is pretty similar too. He sings pretty high on Terminal Spirit Disease and Slaughter of the Soul.
@@Userius1 hard disagree, TSOP is their best record.
fuck, every album is so incredible. still hands down one of the best metal bands to ever exist.
As a gay drummer growing up, I always struggled to be true to myself and feel like I was safe. I listened to Death religiously, having no idea Sean was gay, and only finding out in 2014 that he was. I sometimes wondered if I would have become a more devoted metal drummer if I had known that Sean was too, and that I had a role model. I am heartbroken. Thank you Sean for being a role model, and an absolutely frightening drummer. Thank you for giving me aural solace during some difficult younger years. Big love to your husband, family and friends.
Beautiful sentiment. thank you for sharing.
