![J.P., NLE Choppa - Bad Bitty (Remix) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rBDa6BCvw10/mqdefault.jpg)
We have VERY different lists. This should be fun…
I'm super pumped to hear your thoughts now ahaha
do a tier list plz
so happy to see you tackle slayer might i add!!
@@beanman2206 Recorded it last week actually. Will be up sometime in August.
@@MetalTrenches hell yes bro!!
Death has a nearly flawless discography. You could pick any of the seven Death albums and be blown away. Chuck was a genius songwriter and guitarist who will be forever missed.
Thank you for saying what I have been thinking. \m/
Lol, regurgitating what you read last week, Redditor
My ranking :
1 Human (unmatchable landmark of Death Metal), rate 6/5
2 ITP, rate 5/5 (perfect mix Death Metal+Jazz)
3 Symbolic, rate 5/5 (perfect mix Death Metal+Heavy Métal)
4 Leprosy, rate 4.5/5 (raw and brutal)
5 Spiritual Healing, rate 4/5. (1st step in direction of Human)
6 SOP, rate 4/5 (very good but a step backward in my opinion)
7 SBG, rate 3.5/5 (legendary because precursor)
Nice video dude 🤘
this is my exact list as well, cheers! ;)
1. Leprosy
2. Sound of Perseverance
3. Individual Thought Patterns
4. Spiritual Healing
5. Scream Bloody Gore
6. Symbolic
7. Human ( the primitive cover of God of Thunder ruined the album)
@@jboogedy th God of Thunder is only a bonus track not included in the first edition...then you can ignore it in your ranking....
not giving symbolic a 5/5 is a crime in and of itself.
Nothing Is Everything is the most underrated and my personal favorite death song. That lead guitar melody on chorus is just perfect.
One of my favorites ever. Glad to see a like minded person. Some of their bass work ever is in that song. All of individual thought patterns is just perfect
The drums on that song go crazy too
Absolutely one of my favourite bands. While I have preferences, I feel I can jump into any Death album and enjoy it greatly
1 - The sound of perserverance
2 - Symbolic
3 - Human
4 - Leprosy
5 - Scream Bloody Gore
6 - Spiritual Healing
7 - Individual Thought Patterns
The worst is an 8.5/10 imo.
Great review!
No one should forget that one of the reasons we have death metal is because of this incredible band. For this reason, Death will always be one of my favorite death metal bands and one of my favorite bands of all time. The Sound of Perseverance is not only one of my favorite metal albums of all time, it is one of my favorite albums of all time, it's easily in the top 10.
My favorite band ever. Symbolic, SOP, and Human are my favorites, however i love all of the albums so fucking much.
I love all their albums but Human is my favourite. It's the perfect blend of their old school thrashy death metal sound and their later progressive/technical sound.
I was holding my breath until you got to the Sound... and wow, I do actually agree with every word you say on this video!
Please do talk about Mayhem.
I probably will... probably within the next month...
Sound of Perseverance is easily my favourite album too, it's also the first album I heard from Death after getting a free album download from some kind of early streaming platform way back in 2008. Easily the best Death album and one of the all time greatest releases imo. I'd be interested to know what you'd have given Control Denied though, I also love that album as it felt like a good continuation and while it's where Chuck's career would be tragically cut short it feels like a fitting final release from his metal genius.
Honestly, i would love to see you do a review of every Ozzy Osbourne Solo album or Mayhem, and maybe Dio too
Does anyone know a metal record vaguely as powerful as TSOP in terms of the riffs and melodies? Because barely any record I find comes anywhere close to it in terms of quality, and also catchiness.
Charles "Evil Chuck" Schuldiner > All of us
Big facts
It's good to know that for the most part I can just grab a random album and be fine with it. I'll have to add Spiritual Healing and Symbolic to my album list especially.
Also, I'm just going to say it, I chuckled when you said spiritual healing was the logical evolution of leprosy. I have a sick sense of humour.
Definitely THE band that got me into Extreme Metal. Leprosy was my 1st extreme metal album I ever listened to. I’ll definitely do a Tierlist for Death instead of giving everything a 10/10.
S: Human, Leprosy
A: Symbolic, Sound of Perseverance
B: Individual Thought Patterns, Scream Bloody Gore
C: Spiritual Healing
D: Nothing Death has made will ever be D tier.
Also just want to say Voice of the Soul is probably my favorite instrumental of all time. That songs gets me emotionally EVERY TIME.
@@blackwaterrust476 Beautiful number, one of the best on that album for sure.
Absolutely one of my favourite bands and their discography is always no exception
1. The Sound of Perseverance
2. Symbolic
3. Individual Thought Patterns
4. Leprosy
5. Scream Bloody Gore
6. Human
7. Spiritual Healing
Symbolic is definitely in my top 10 favorite metal albums. Thought it’s occasionally in contest with Individual Thought Patterns. That one has my favorite lineup for Death.
Cool video, Robert. Death's discography can only be compared to Maiden's 80s run. All classic records back to back.
Like you, I have a forever soft spot for Symbolic and TSOP. The latter I bought when it came out and for a really long time it was all I played on my goofy discman. Constant exposure made it the Death record that I know best, but also the one I revisit the least 20 years later. These days when I want to listen to Death I'll pop in Human or Symbolic most of the time. Still, sometimes I`m working out and shuffle will get me something off the first records, and I will just fucking headbang my way through those tunes. They are pure heavy metal royalty.
My brother is a huge fan of Death. He learned pretty much every song on Guitar, and even has two of Chucks stealth BC Rich.
Great video! I would rank the last 4 albums a little different, but who cares? They could probably all end within my 20 favorite metal albums of all time :D
I would love to see a "Dio albums ranked" video. I think it would be so much because of the the rollercoaster ride this discography is.
Steve was famous for been part of Sadus mostly, then now testament
I love all the albums, if I have to be critical the only two that are a little bit worse than the others are Scream Bloody Gore and Spiritual Healing but I still like them a lot
Scream Bloody Gore is a poser crushing masterpiece.
The death of Chuck is the greatest loss for metal ever. We missed out on so much great music. The sound of perseverance is Deaths best, Death kept getting better with each album.
Simp
I hate to be this guy but most versions of Human don't have that bonus track......The only reason I mention it is because you cited that as the only reason it wasn't a 5. So would that mean that original version without the bonus track would be a 5? ( apologies in advance for wasting your time with this comment it's just that it seems so weird for something that isn't on most versions of this album draging the score down) That being said amazing video. EDIT: seems as though Relapse records has a huge boner for that Kiss cover. It's on almost every one of their reissues. I don't know why but I spent like 10 minutes on metal archives looking at all the different versions and HOLY FUCK there's like a million. Seems they didn't put the Kiss cover on there until 1998 and then it was on A LOT of the other reissues. Anyway thanks for letting me waste your time going through the specifics of different reissues solely based on the fact that I wanted this album to have a solid 5 LMAO
No need to apologize man, its all good - I suppose with that logic it is, but the fact of the matter is the version I have DOES have that KISS cover, and it just isn't up to par for me.
Death was incredible. Not a huge fan of "Scream Bloody Gore", but everything else was hot shit on a stick.
The drums are on point
1. Symbolic
2. Sound of perseverance
3. Individual thought patterns
4. Leprosy
5. Human
6. Spiritual healing
7. Scream bloody gore
Nice work, nothing to argue (even though Symbolic is my favourite). I'm not gonna try ranking these however, cause that would put either Human or Sound of Perseverance on 2nd or 3rd and thats seems kinda like a weird thing to do.
What do we wanna next: Well you mentioned some bands, whos worst album is amazing, so how about those ;)
I could give every Death album a 5/5 easy, but my favourite is definitely The Sound Of Perseverance. I completely agree with everything you said about that album, goddamn is it incredible. I’m not even going to try to rank them though lmao
Same!!
Wow this is an insane amount of work!
I love every Death album. I own 5 Death shirts, two Death CDs, and 4 Death vinyls. My personal favorite album is Spiritual Healing because of the brutality in the songwriting and the lead guitar riffs. The vocals are more in your face.
Honestly, Human is my fav Death album but every album of theirs is incredible. One of my favorite bands...
any of their last 4 albums are worthy of being the best!!
Apparently during the Symbolic era he was super into power metal and he wanted to make the songs more melodic and catchy
Death has been tied with Iron Maiden as my favorite band for a good number of years. Leprosy the record that introduced me to the band and I haven't looked back since. Said record also has the honor of being my back patch on my battle jacket.
Chuck just seemed to effortlessly write brutal, yet very catchy and beautiful records from Scream Bloody Gore all the way the only Control Denied album (and yes, I'm that guy that counts that as a Death record). It's one of those rare discographies where the musicianship just out does itself from one record to the next and no two are alike.
Next is Six Feet Under. /s
Would you be interested in covering the Cryptopsy discography? This series has been really helpful in showing me where to start with all these bands I haven't poured time into yet.
Damn I love Individual Thought Patterns, but the production is the worst of their catalogue IMO... When you go from listening to it and then hop to Symbolic, its just like night and day. Too flat, dry, compressed. Still badass songs, though. Sounds great live🤘
Oh and you gotta give credit to Richard Christy on Sound of Perseverance. Freakin ridiculously good drummer that nobody seems to ever talk about!
The day I meet someone who hates DEATH would be as shocking as the day Lucas Mann starts being a real fucking musician
O O F
@@themetalmeltdownofficial this comment almost aged well... i guess Lucas Mann is now playing for real.. HOWEVER Rings of Saturn are using trap beats now... EWWWW
I'm new to Death. Our preferrings are almost identical, and our scores are very close, too. I think they progressively got better from each albun (no pun intended).
Love how much people differ when it comes to Death. It just shows how consistently good they were, and that's far between such bands.
Here's my ranking:
1. Symbolic (5/5)
2. The Sound of Perseverance (5/5)
3. Individual Thought Patterns (4.5)
4. Human (4.5/5)
5. Leprosy (4/5)
6. Spiritual Healing (4/5)
7. Scream Bloody Gore (3.5)
As pretty much everyone has already stated, Death's whole discography is absolutely killer. I'll go as far as to say it's probably the most consistent discography of any band ever, certainly in terms of legacy bands. I'm of pretty much the same opinion as you, their 80s stuff was awesome but it was the 90s where they really came to life as a band. I'd say my ranking would be
1) Symbolic (1000/5, that record is beyond perfect to me. A pure, bonafide masterpiece)
2) Human (4.5/5)
3) Leprosy (4.5/5)
4) Individual Thought Patterns (4/5)
5) Sound of Perseverance (4/5)
6) Scream Bloody Gore (3.5/5)
7) Spiritual Healing (3.5/5)
My ranking isn't even based on rating in a critical sense, but purely on how often I return to them. I know for a fact if I were to listen to any of them I'd think it was perfect!
Pestilence discography next?
Hell nah, you already nailed it
1. Individual Thought Patterns
2. The Sound of Perseverance
3. Scream Bloody Gore
4. Leprosy
5. Symbolic
6. Human
7. Spiritual Healing
When I first heard ITP, I was in high school playing bass in my first extreme metal band. DiGorgio's playing changed everything. Up there with the best of Geezer and 'Arry for me.
Also, I think Bathory would make a good topic for one of these videos in the future. They have an extensive though not too long discography that is mostly pretty good, but with enough peaks, valleys and stylistic changes to make for an interesting video.
DiGorgio is legit one of metal's best bassists, anybody arguing otherwise has never heard the guy play. And Bathory would be neat - despite their importance to metal I've never actually spent a lot of time with their music, so it'd be a good excuse to finally dive in.
Awsome video human has my favorite btw dude did you lose weight?
I mean, probably lol, though I dont have a scale so I'm not sure the exact amount - I work out as often as I can, gotta find SOME way to kill the COVID boredom.
A quick, opinionated list of Death
7. Scream Bloody Gore (3.5/5)
6. Leprousy (4/5)
5. Spiritual Healing (4/5)
4. Human (4/5)
3. Sound of Perseverance (4.5/5)
2. Symbolic (5/5)
1. Individual Thought Patterns (5/5)
One of my favorite metal bands.
flesh and the power it holds is my favorite deathvsong
Scream Bloody Gore (9/10)
Leprosy (9,5/10)
Spiritual Healing (8,75/10)
Human (7,5/10)
Individual Thought Patterns (8/10)
Symbolic (8,5/10)
The Sound of Perseverance (7/10)
Not a single 10?
1. The Sound Of Perseverance 6/5 (the Sound, emotional content and overall soul in this album is unmatched)
2. Individual Thought Patterns 5/5 (super dynamic and razor sharp riffs/melodies and one of the greatest guitar solos in ‘trapped on the corner’)
3. Symbolic 4.5/5 (super dynamic, catchy and powerful album, some songs can be predictable which takes some points out)
4. Human 4/5 (amazing mood, grooves and melodies, production is a little flat and songs do blend too much with each other as they all have a very similar sound)
5. Spiritual Healing low 4/5 ( really fun and accessible album, hooky and very catchy. Production is the worst on any death album. Everything feels ready distant and blurred.)
6. Scream Bloody Gore 3.5/5 (really atmospheric and still really fun to listen to. Production is a bit rough but it actually compliments the sound and feel of this album)
7. Leprocy 3/5 (straight forward in your face death metal goodness. It can feel a bit simple at times and too many bands have mimic the sound so much that it no longer stands out comparatively )
Maybe the best discography in Metal...great video man!
Scream Bloody Gore - 3.5/5
Leprosy - 4/5
Spiritual Healing - 5/5
Human - 5/5
Individual Thought Patterns - 5/5
Symbolic - 5/5
The Sound of Perseverance - 4/5
1. Leprosy
2. The Sound Of Perseverance
3. Spiritual Healing
4. Individual Thought Patterns
5. Human
6. Symbolic
7. Scream Bloody Gore
Personally I'd rank Spiritual Healing much higher, but I totally agree with ya on Sound of Perseverance, it's a monumental release and almost like a religious experience lol, especially the instrumental Voice of the Soul, it always makes me feel a bit emotional, probably cos it was the last thing Chuck did under the Death moniker.
That was fun! Leprosy was the first record where I left the comfort zone of what I heard up to that point: Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Metallica et al. I’m still not sure why I bought Leprosy at the time. Let’s settle on curiosity. The title track, Forgotten Past and Pull The Plug are awesome. Leprosy remains one of my favourite more extreme metal albums and I would give it happily a 4.5 out of five. It’s only topped by the last two entries in the Death discography. They are both fivers. They are masterpieces. They are unrivalled. Period.
Sadly I’ve only seen Death live once and that was during the ill-fated European tour in 1990 as support of Kreator. Chuck thought that the tour wasn’t adequately organised and decided against it. To fulfil contractual obligations one half of the band recruited two roadies and did the tour without Chuck. To my dismay they animated the audience to yell “fuck Chuck” between each song. I’m still appalled by this today.
I don't have a definitive ranking just yet, but goddamn Death go the fuck OFF.
Also I wouldn't mind seeing one of these on Gojira
Also sick Joy Division shirt.
Gojira would be fun in the future, super wild and consistent discography.
Probably my favorite band off all time. Chuck was a true visionary and genius. What a musician, what a underrated lyricist too. Thank you for doing this!!!!
1. SOP- 5/5 Top 3 metal album all time. This blew my mine. The musicianship on this truly next level. What a final album, truly a masterpiece.
2. Symbolic- 5/5.
3. Human- 4.5/5
4. Spiritual healing- 4.5/5. The vocal production is the only slight flaw, from a lyrical perspective it is my favorite.
5 . Leprosy - 4/5
6. Individual though Patterns- 4/5
7. Scream bloody gore- 2.5/5 Only Death album i don't love. Just all sounds to similar. Never connected with it.
Death is great. Here is my personal ranking:
1. Scream Bloody Gore
2. Leprosy
3. Symbolic
4. The Sound of Perseverance
5. Spiritual Healing
6. Individual Thought Patterns
7. Human
Misanthrope is by far my favorite Death song next to Without Judgement.
Yeah all these albums are perfect lol I disagree but you still right
SBG-3/5
Leprosy-4/5
Spiritual Healing-4/5
Human-4/5
ITP-5/5
Symbolic-5/5
SOP-5/5
SBG doesn’t have any bad songs but some are just good songs. It’s not an album I go to as much unless I want to hear zombie ritual or infernal death.
1. Symbolic (10/10)
2. Leprosy (10/10)
3. Sound of Perseverence (10/10)
4. Human (9.5/10)
5. Individual Thought Patterns (9.5/10)
6. Spiritual Healing (8.5/10)
7. Scream Bloody Gore (8/10)
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Chuck Schuldiner Rules!!!!
If i pick my favourite Symbolic Crystal Mountain is a damn good song
I don’t think any death album is under 4.
1. Symbolic 5/5
2. Individual thought of patterns 5/5
3. Human 5/5
4. TSOP 4.5/5 painkiller might make it 5/5
5. Leprosy 4.5/5
6. Scream bloody gore 4.5/5
7. Spiritual healing 4/5.
All those albums could be 5.
Death !!!! every song every album..i like
Brutal brutal tone !!!
The only celebrity death that legitimately made me sad was Chuck. At the time i had no idea he was sick and it was just so sudden. What a fucking tragedy.
Here is my ranking of all their albums:
1: Human
2: Symbolic
3: The Sound of Perseverance
4: Individual Thought Patterns
5: Scream Bloody Gore
6: Leprosy
7: Spiritual Healing
Doing this discography review must have been super refreshing after doing that Motley Crue review. (Quite a lot of bad ratings in that one, if I remember right.)
Oh absolutely, nice to talk about some consistently good music for a change
Chuck was a legend... R.I.P.
1. Human
2. Spiritual Healing
3. Individual Thought Patterns
4. Leprosy
5. Symbolic
6. The Sound of Perseverance
7. Scream Bloody Gore
\m/
I do agree with some of the lists. I myself have a controversial rank. But I do like most of the albums. 1-6 is good 7 is worse of the worse
1. Leprosy
2. Spiritual Healing
3. Human
4. Symbolic
5. Individual Thought Patterns
6. Scream Bloody Gore
7. The Sound of Perseverance (My least favorite album of all time)
im with you mate. The Sound of Perseverance doesnt even sound like death to me. it would be last place on my list too!
Nice review, however the Kiss cover on Human should not affect the overall rating of the album, because this cover isn't even included on the original version of Human and is only added as a bonus track on the reissue. After all it wasn't a Chuck intention to put it on Human as a "legitimate" track of the album, and we should respect that.
For me it's a gradual progress regarding this band, so I would rank all the albums as they follow in their discography (with SBG at the bottom and SoP at the top of the list), though I would probably put ITP and Symbolic in the same spot - it's impossible for me to choose which one of the two is better.
I was just getting to reply about the God of Thunder cover. It wasn't on my Human cassette back in the day. It's not even on my cd either. I don't have the re-issue
I wouldn't consider the "God of Thunder" cover a part of "Human", as it wasn't included until the Relapse Records reissues. But hey, I agree, not my favorite either.
Wow
1 leprosy
2 human
3 scream
4 spiritual
5 individual
6 symbolic
7 sounds
I don't feel like it's fair to judge an album based on the bonus tracks. 95% of the times I just skip them.
This was fun to listen to thanks for taking the time.
"literally beat that literal dead horse"? insensitive and wrong!
Sometimes you say "fucking" and it sounds normal but other times it sounds very forced.
The god of thunder cover is really fun and good and I disagree with you and I don't like your reasoning "fuck this, I don't give a fuck" is also not true because you do give a fuck you made a nice video about it. I'm saying this all in a positive way, you seem cool! Cheers!

I'm also going to argue that Deftones and Tool do not have a bad album in their discographies.
The Sound of Perseverance is my favorite, as well!!

This is my favorite band of all time
TSoP is my favourite!
Bravo! But Scream Bloody Gore is still the best Death EVER!
My favorite Death album would have to be The Sound of Perseverance! It's just so amazing, technical and has my favorite Death song, Flesh and the Power it Holds!
I had Symbolic playing nonstop in the car for many years. Then ITP and Sound of perseverance. Then Human, and the rest.
I am convinced that Sound of Perseverance is not a Death Album, it always feels off, the more you listen to it. The painkiller cover is killer, but those solos are … simply lacking the punch, aggressive, melodic squeal, … Death, a death metal band, somehow made those solos sound wimpy, at least not at all with the motif and sound of the original song.
For example, Flesh and the power it holds, killer riff… why cut it off with some power chords and … while they take a break from playing the song, in the middle of their song, I go take a smoke break - and I don’t even smoke.
Voice of the soul, never understood why this track gets people so much.
That being said, the musicianship is killer, drums, bass, everything. I just find the structure of the songs extremely boring, like Chuck was ready to move on and the label told him he had to release it under the Death brand.
I would have been more interested in a Mayhem review. Bring on the Mayhem review.
Cool I got 20 minutes to spare thx 🤘🏾
Spoilert Alert: 10/10
I can rest peacefully seeing tsop get 5/5
But scream bloody gore is only a 3/5, disliked and unsubscribed. This is the internet, you’re not allowed to have an opinion
Serioously, I hate talking about Mayhem. They were scary when I was a Christian, but now I just see them as some douchey nerds.
I love how everyone has a different rank for death's discography.
Can we all agree that death hasn't made one bad album in their music career.
Metal Meltdown, you're maybe the one guy who is sort of ostentatiousy totally against my political views whom I just say good on you to for having such Balls.
I think you could be a little research away from not even ostentatiously differing.
I think you might like Mark Passio.
The hell you talking about
Weak, waffling band - on their first album holds up, but good job, it's a 3/5 band overall - Slayer did it better, Slayer was darker, before them, and after them!
