I have to agree with you in choosing Leprosy as your number 1. Open Casket and Pull The Plug are songs I hold very dear to me those were the first songs I ever heard by Death. Awesome ranking man
With all the respect, I've never seen more disscussed discography. Like seriously, with death everyone has different ranking, and that shows how great composer Chuck was
I would argue that Death is one of the few bands regardless of genre that doesnt need any type of album ranking since they havent released a single bad album.
Spiritual Healing is a personal favorite, one of Scott Burns best records IMO - no small feat. But they are all great. My vote for next discography ranking is Carcass.
Especially w the new album out. For me I'd say Necroticism Surgical Steel Swansong Torn Arteries Reek of Puterfaction Heartwork 1. Symphonies of Sickness My favorite band of all time.
IMO, I really want to like that album more, but the rhythm section just doesn't do it for me with that production. Especially Bill Andrew's drumming. I know he also drums on Leprosy, but the huge gated drum sound on that album fills up more space and sounds more massive. His single kick patterns on SH just sound flat.
Sorry but the best Death album for me is Human (Cosmic Sea is a hymn), and to be sincere there's no bad Death albums...it's just so hard to make a top best DEATH album
Human, to me, was the point where they went from good to great. Their best albums are the mid and late ones - the early ones are more just curiosities to me. I don’t ever really revisit them.
Maybe my rankings are more based on sentimentality. But, Leprosy demonstrates the emotion best. Emotion wears off🙂. They were changing. It seemed more, unrefined, experimental. Not as ‘Pure’ as the first Three. That is just my feelings though. I’m biased. I loved Leprosy, and Spiritual, when they came out. I was in 8-9th grade when Leprosy came out. And a sophomore in high school when Spiritual Healing came out. They are my top Death metal world, and Pestilence Consuming Impulse, at this Junctior of my life🤘🏽 And the first 3 were pure death metal My reasons could probably be better explained. But Fuck that.🤣
Goodness, Death is just a four horsemen's kiss served on a hot, metal asf plate, all appreciation goes to them even till this day and RIP Chuck Schuldiner 🖤
Spiritual Healing is so underrated album. For me is the best album because all songs are great not just one or two and the sound is great too. Thanks for video..
Just hypothetically, where would you put “Control Denied-The fragile art of existence” in with this list if you had too? It was pretty much the same lineup as TSOP, but without Chuck on vocals.
The good thing about Death's discography is that you can watch a video where Human is ranked below Spiritual Healing and you still think it's a good list
1. Leprosy 2. Spiritual Healing 3. Symbolic 4. The Sound of Perseverance 5. Individual Thought Patterns 6. Scream Bloody Gore 7. Human Perfect discography.
Based upon that ranking I am guessing that you got intonthem in the mid 90's? I mean I would rank them with Leprosy and Scream Bloody Gore at 1/2, but thats because I was a teenager in the 80s and those were the albums that turned me onto the band. Lol. Either way they didnt make a bad album. So your ranking is just as valid as mine
@@martinwakefield8138 I’m 47 years old and only got into Death in 2017, and I’m blown away by what I was missing all these years. Here’s my ranking from Favorite to least favorite … Human Symbolic Spiritual Healing Sound of Perseverance Leprosy Scream Bloody Gore Individual Thought Patterns
@@pjcannaday6337 All great albums. Im almost 50 now, but I firstbdiscovered them in 1989. I bought The Ultimate Revenge II because Raven was on it, but there were three songs from Leprosy on it. Open Casket was only the second "Oh Shit!" moment I have ever had as a music fan.
@@martinwakefield8138 - Open Casket is killer. When Chuck sings the chorus, it’s like a damn freight train coming thru the house. Love that song…. Just to clarify. It’s so hard to rank these albums. If Human is a 10/10, then Individual Thought Patterns is no less than a 7.5/10. (Wish the production would have been a little better on Individual Thought Patterns).
7: Scream Bloody Gore 6: Spiritual Healing 5: Leprossy 4: Individual Thought Patterns 3: Human 2: The Sound of Perseverance 1: Symbolic (Favorite Album of all the time) I definitely prefer more technical and progressive. Chuck forever!
7. Scream Bloody Gore 6. Leprosy 5. Spiritual Healing 4. Human 3. Individual Thought Patterns 2. The Sound of Perseverance 1. Symbolic I totally agree with you about the technical and progressive stuff... maybe The sound of Perseverance is their most progressive album but i personally love Symbolic too and i think that is one of the best metal album of all time too ;)
There's 2 types of Death fans. Prog metal death fans and pure death metal fans. Personnally im like you, i prefer progressive, but I love the pure death albums too. I still have a pretty different ranking from yours, so here is mine: 7. Spiritual Healing 6. Human 5. Leprossy 4. Invidual thought patterns 3. Scream bloody gore (pretty underrated imo) 2. Sound of perseverance 1. Symbolic (got damn this album is a masterpiece) *I can't say that symbolic is my fav album of all time, it's actually vol.3 by Slipknot... Pretty different stuff lol 😂*
No bad Death albums, just ones I like slightly more than others, here's my rankings : 1 - Symbolic 2 - Leprosy 3 - Human 4 - Individual Thought Patterns 5 - Scream Bloody Gore 6 - The Sound Of Perseverance 7 - Spiritual Healing
I love the fact that you can basically reverse this entire list, or even completely change the order of it and it would work for many people. It truly goes to show just how amazing Chuck, as well as the other members were.
I like their albums that live up to the style: Death. Therefore, my ranking is: 1 - Scream Bloody Gore 2 - Leprosy 3 - Spiritual Healing!! I don't even mention their technical albums!!
1 Symbolic (best album I've ever heard, and still my favourite of all time. Lyrics, Drums, Riffs, Melodies, Solos.. The only flawless 10/10 I know of). -From the iconic opening riff on Symbolic to Without Judgement's middle section and Perennial's beautiful outro, I love every second. 2 Human (The most intense album with great mix of riffs and melodies. 9.9/10). -every track could be a highlight.. but See Through Dreams, Vacant Planets and Secret Face are seriously underrated (and my favourites)!!! 3 TSOP (A little long, but it has THE best melodies.. and the Painkiller cover is one of the few I accept, although A Moment of Clarity was a perfect closer. 9.7/10). -From the complex Scavenger of Human Sorrow to the beautiful, emotional Story to Tell, every song could be a highlight.. 4 Leprosy (Perfect lenght and it has the hardest riffs, vocals and Rick's frantic whammy solos fit. The best pure Death Metal record. 9.3/10) -Pull the Plug, Open Casket, Leprosy, Born Dead and Left To Die are my favourites. 5 Individual T. Patterns (The most technical album with the best bass performance, but it has three "o.k."/ slightly sub-par songs imo.. 9.2/10). -Trapped In A Corner, Jealousy, Overactive Imagination, Philosopher and Mentally Blind are my favourites. 6 Spiritual Healing (The worst production imo, the drums are so flat.. The riffs, shredding and UNDERRATED melodies rule, though. 9.0/10). -Within the Mind, Genetic Reconstruction, Defensive Personalities, Title Track and Altering the Future are my favourites. 7 Scream Bloody Gore (The 2nd "worst" production, but it's still a punch to the throat! Awesome piece of history, but is mostly riff-riff-riff. 8.9/10). -Evil Dead, Sacrificial, Zombie Ritual, Baptized In Blood and Torn To Pieces are my favourites.
1. Individual Thought Patterns 2. Human 3. The Sound of Perserverance 4. Symbolic 5. Spiritual Healing 6. Leprosy 7. Scream Bloody Gore I was lucky enough to meet Chuck before he passed back in 1998 when my band opened for Death and Hammerfall at the Troc in Philly. An unforgettable time.
This is a brave ranking to do, Death as you also state have no bad albums in their discography. Rarely can a band almost universally be agreed as not releasing a single dud, not one album that is frowned upon (Cannibal Corpse is another that ticks this same box for me, maybe even Bolt Thrower too)..anyway, Leprosy and Human are hard to split for me for different reasons but ask me in any week and the rest of the order could change but one thing that wont change is that Death as a band and Chuck as a person are sadly missed. R.I.P Chuck - Let the Metal Flow!
Thats one hard rank’em all !! It really depends on the day. When Human is 7th!?!? Man, what a band. ITP and Symbolic literally put tears in my eyes. Early Death Metal masterpiece Leprosy is really genius work. Rick Rozzs solo in Pull the Plug is a whammy fest done to perfection. Spiritual Healing is an underrated monster. Knowing SoP is Chucks last work, besides Control Denied, w that cover of Painkiller still leaves me in a state of shock 23 years later. Thnx for this!!!
All 7 Death's albums are all masterpiece. Love them all so it's hard to rank them, but mine would be: 1. Symbolic (interchangable with TSOP) 10/10 2. The Sound Of Perseverance (interchangable with Symbolic) 10/10 3. Individual Thought Patterns 9.5/10 4. Human 9.5/10 5. Leprosy 9/10 6. Scream Bloody Gore 8.5/10 7. Spiritual Healing 8.5/10 I tend to like more the proggy/tech side of Death, but love the early albums as well.
That' s a great ranking with the marks finally !!! mine it ' s really really close to yours, and i would rate TSOP with a 10 and Symbolic with a 10 + if it' s possible, but you are right, they are interchangeable !
@Dragon Ball fans can't read when it comes to music tastes, there’s usually little objectiveness, that’s why it’s called a taste, and that’s why opinions exist. Plus show me the research and stats you made to prove your statement.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read bro if you’re going to make an statement at least back it up with solid arguments. Just listen to whatever the fuck you like 👍
Spiritual healing would be my number one but I hate the sound of the bass drum. I might just be picky about it. But that album has the heaviest riffs off their discography. 1.Human 2.Leprosy 3. SH 4.symbolic 5.SBG 6.ITP 7.SoP Not a single bad album absolutely flawless discography.
1. The Sound of Perseverance (Took the best parts from 'Symbolic' and multiplied them) 2. Human 3. Individual Thought Patterns 4. Scream Bloody Gore 5. Spiritual Healing 6. Leprosy (Groundbreaking, but the material is not so strong) 7. Symbolic (Overrated album. It has good moments, but an overall impression - it's boring.)
So hard to rank this discography. Every album Death put out is just great. Almost every fan I know can list almost any of their albums as their number one. Just a great band. RIP Chuck Schuldiner.
I was waiting this ranking for a long time. Death is one of my most favourite bands in metal,and my favourite Death Metal band. My top 3 is: -Scream Bloody Gore -Leprosy -Spiritual Healing Good video and R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner
I’ve only become a recent fan of Death even though I’ve been listening to Death Metal since ‘98 That being said…I’ve always known who Death were, just didn’t get into them for whatever reason. But, what I have been listening to recently…makes me wish I had gotten into them when I had gotten into Cannibal Corpse. RIP Chuck
I was never into death metal, but there were a couple of great death metal bands like Death, Obituary, and Obscura. Also kinda shocked to see Human at the bottom, that one is perfect. Anyways Death is one of my favorite bands. 7. Spiritual Healing 6. The Sound of Perseverance 5. Leprosy 4. Individual Thought Patterns 3. Scream Bloody Gore 2. Human 1. Symbolic
IMO: 1- Symbolic 2- Individual thought patterns 3- Leprosy 4- Spiritual healing 5- Human 6- Scream bloody gore 7- The sound of perseverance They all are awesome tho... Death's worst album would arguably be the best one of most death metal bands
Due to nostalgic arguments Scream Bloody Gore will always be my favorite Death record - although Leprosy indeed is their best - with Sacrificial being the favorite song. I still remember someone recording this for me on tape back in 1987, i.e. shortly after its release. The new level of intensity and aggression blew me away (including my neighbors, I'd wager 🤔). 🤘😎
I started to listen to Death a year ago. I'm not really ever been into Extreme Metal since I heard Sound Of Perseverance (while I was reading Drizzt books) : that album blow me away. Now I am into the Prog stuff, like SOP and Symbolic.
i remember back in 1990, an acquaintance of mine only like Slayer and Death. And that was it. Pretty narrow minded, but he just didn't like anything else. I am very open minded about music, so after a while i had to......pull the plug....on that short friendship
Im psycho fan of Death since 2001 when I've first heard album Leprosy. This album changed everything for me. Such a perfect band and perfect discography. Its not enough to say that Chuck never released a bad album, he never wrote a bad song! Extremely hard to make a list but i would say it goes like that for me: 1) Leprosy 2) Symbolic 3) Individual Thought Pattern 4) Human 5) Spiritual Healing 6) Sound of Perseverance 7) Scream Bloody Gore
Mi favorito es el tremendo Spiritual Healing. Aunque pienso que con esta banda es complicado sobretodo a partir del segundo elegir el mejor,cada cual tiene uno...he ahí la grandeza de los Death, inimitables e irrepetibles .Grandes! Un saludo.
Love your take on Leprosy, Pull the PLUG!! Let me pass away… I would say I feel Spiritual Healing is my # 2. Right after Leprosy. They were in the groove
You're right, Ruthless... there are no bad Death albums. Their discog is very much perfect. I can't help but rank The Sound of Perseverance as #1, personally. It's in my top 5, maybe top 3 music albums of all time. The composition of it is rarely matched. I don't really care what anyone else thinks concerning this... it's my opinion. And yes, I do know that a lot of the material on The Sound of Perseverance wasn't written to be released under the Death moniker but was used because of contract pressures. Still some of the best music laid down, ever. Just think what Chuck might be blessing us with today, were he here...
Not a bad list - sharing my thoughts on these: 1. Spiritual Healing - a killer Bill Andrews' drums sound (the drums sound almost fucking (a-)live), there's a great contrast in approach to solos of (one and only) James Murphy and (also one and only) Chuck (btw it reminds me of Megadeth's Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine dynamics); to me every song is a death-metal superhit and pure perfection; Chuck's solo in Altering the Future takes me to another dimension everytime I hear it 2. Individual Thought Patterns / Human - a more commercial production, great musicians and great music; I really like the somewhat blurry guitar sound, as it adds to the overall impression the albums give me (especially Human); musically, ITP seems a tad more aggressive to me 3. Leprosy / Scream Bloody Gore - absolute classics, foreshadowing Chuck's genius, but suffering from weaker production a bit; still great records to come back to 4. Symbolic - as-if another version of Spiritual Healing (rhythm changes, songs composition, etc..), but with different production and occassional experimenation which disturbs me (e.g. the spanish guitar in Crystal Mountain); however, the title track and Zero Tolerance are my favourites and I listen to the album from time to time But basically, all of the above are superb, with very little difference in preferences for each to me. However, I can't say the same about the last one on my list: 5. The Sound of Perseverance - sorry, folks, I do not like this record - I hate the fucking atrocity called vocals, the drumming seems to go for something super-heavy and ultra-artistic at the same time - and it just sucks - and the overall sound is just annoying for me; but most importantly, for me, the songs are just not good / boring to listen to And let me add Control Denied to the list - without order: a, The Fragile Art of Existence - quite an experimental record, somewhat difficult to listen to when going for death metal; it's an experiment with the DM genre as the form, but deviating from it musically; the vocals are also not the ones I cherish; btw - it's worth saying, that if #5 on my list sounded like this, I could tolerate it more 😃 b, Zero Tolerance - not really a polished product, but a haunting reminder of Chuck's talent / vision / musicmanship; first four tracks show his experimental side, the demos give an insight into the process of creating / fine tuning the songs for the first record
Individual Thought Pattens blew me away when heard it. I thought it was starkly different and til this day I still struggle with listening to the early death albums and this one and recognition they are the same band. I love those early albums but this makes death albums cartoony.
My ranking is the following : 1-symbolic 2-scream bloody gore 3-leprosy 4-individual thought patterns 5-the sound of perseverance 6-human 7-spiritual healing
Great respect for Chuck even thou I sometimes (not always) get tired of albums with so much technical demonstration. Anyway, I agree, no bad albums in their discography. 7. Individual Thought Patterns 6. Human 5. Symbolic 4. Leprosy 3. The Sound of Perseverance 2. Spiritual Healing 1. Scream Bloody Gore 🤘🤘🤘
It's Symbolic for me! I'm glad that you rate it so highly in your verbal assessment, even though you see it as 3rd best. It's testament to how amazing and influential Death and Chuck Schuldiner were/are! Loved your final word, there. Guess what I will be listening to next.
Scream Bloody Ranking: 7 - Leprosy 6 - Spiritual Healing 5 - Symbolic 4 - Scream Bloody Gore 3 - Individual Thought Patterns 2 - The Sound of Perseverance 1 - Human I remember when My Parents first heard Death....It was like My Reaction, but now I like Death.
This was tough! -- Not a bad album and probably rank them differently depending on my mood. 7. Spiritual Healing 9/10 6.Scream Bloody Gore 9.1/10 5. Individual Thought Patterns 9.3 /10 4. Human 9.4/10 3. Sound of Perseverance 9.5/10 2. Leprosy (First Death Metal album I ever heard) 9.8/10 1. Symbolic - 10/10
1. Symbolic 2. Human 3. Leprosy 4. Sound of Perseverance, The 5. Spiritual Healing 6. Individual Thought Patterns 7. Scream Bloody Gore I agree with most comments that there isn’t a bad Death album. Obviously it’s just which you prefer over the others. I like SBG’s music but the lyrics aren’t for me, I just think lyrics about guts and maggots are just silly and over-the-top. Like I said the music is great (Evil Dead is in my top 3 favorite Death Songs). 3-6 to me are interchangeable, any one of them can be higher or lower depending on which I like more that day lol. But 1 and 2 will never change, Symbolic and Human are my favorites with Symbolic given the slight edge because it’s the first Death album I listened to and made me the Death fan I am today. Besides the outro to Perennial Quest is the most beautiful piece of music Chuck wrote.
the only diferent choice i made is to put individual though patterns more down on the list. Incredible album, but one of the weakest efforts of the band in my opinion, because looks like they made in this album a mid-term "transition" between some traditional death metal for more progressive death. But their discography is simply perfect, all albuns are good in one way or another. Spiritual Healing is my favorite, specially because of their lyricism and production. It is good you talk about pleasure to kill influence in scream bloody gore, since one of the songs of death's first album literally took one of the riffs of pleasure to kill! I don't know if it's intentional, but looks like a tribute or something
Early Death like Leprosy,Scream....,Spiritual healing are the best in my opinion.This band never disapointed.Riffs,solos drums,chorus,lyrics ,sound.Early inspirations like Nasty savage,Becker and Marty -japanise scales..Sodom, Necrophagia..When I was kid Chuck was my idol.In my opinion the best is Live in L.A...P.s.-Still waiting Bathory,or Canndelmass.Last movie about heavy new wave bands was fantastic..Old eagles and wolfs salut you..hi slava
In 1995 I was 15 years old and quite exclusively into Maiden, Metallica and grunge. Until I heard the song Symbolic on a compilation album. I was blown away! Got the album and was blown away even more! It is one of my all time favourite albums to this day. I was very much into Perseverance when it was released, but the production kept me from liking it as much as Symbolic. Over the past years I have been aprreciating Human more and more, in my opinion the production of that album is near perfect. Especially if you're into f*ckin' amazing drumming! A masterpiece. However much I like Gene, I can never get over the sound of his bass drum on Individual. Such a huge contrast compared to Sean's on Human. It's why I never listened to Individual as much. Good thing Gene sounded great on Symbolic.
I love them all. For me? It goes like this from best to “least” good. 😉. Spiritual healing, individual thought patterns, symbolic, human, leprosy, scream bloody gore, and finally the sound of perseverance.
Symbolic, my god Symbolic. For me it's the best Metal album of all time, I can't name anything I dislike from this album not even a second on any song. I've heard this album for like 15 times and I still can't stop listening to it. The riffs, solos, vocals, drums, clean riffs it is just an album made for me haha. The list: 1. Symbolic 2. Leprosy 3. Individual Thought Patterns (used to dislike this album but now I enjoy quite a bit, even bought a vinyl version of it) 4. Spiritual Healing (the first Death album I heard from the start to finish and my first Death metal vinyl, really love James Murphy's playing he's style makes this album for me) 5. The Sound of Perseverance 6. Human 7. Scream Bloody Gore As Ruthless Metal said, Death's discography is just perfect, I couldn't agree more, so even the lowest album for me is still one of the best albums for me. Really love all of their songs, that's why Death is my favourite band, every albums feels different, but is still so good. I really can't describe my love for this band.
thanks..gracias. Todo el amor para esta banda que ilumino la música contemporánea, con ese musico brillante que es Chuck Shuldiner.. album favorito. sin duda alguna "Symbolic" luego "Leprosy" y "Scream Bloody Gore" saludos gente del Metal.
@@RuthlessMetalYT theres a great documentary about Death & Chuck on RUclips im not sure if you've seen but its worth watching...& thank u very much for accepting my FB request to your page i subscribed when your channel began & still here,u can now put a face to my comments & inputs 😎🤘
my ranking: 1. Individual Thought Patterns 2. Leprosy/Spiritual Healing (I can't decide which is better) 4. Human 5. Sound Of Perseverance 6. Scream Bloody Gore 7. Symbolic
I will never get tired of watching this video. And next month, Rick Roz and Terry Butler will be performing as Left to Die in Tampa, where they will be performing Leprosy in its entirety with select cuts from Scream Bloody Gore. Im so stoked
"ITP" was the very first Death album I ever listened and bought (or bought and listened to, lol), waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1994. How did I hear of such a deserving band, you ask? It started with Modern Drummer and Pantera, LOL! I missed the cover story on Vinnie Paul from August of '94 but I got an issue a month or two later and I was one of those nerds who loved to read the WHOLE magazine. So I used to read the letters to the editor they used to have, and one of those letters was addressing the prior cover feature of Vinnie, and how MD labeled him a double bass master, or something. This person was annoyed and "challenged" MD and other readers to listen to an album called, "Individual Thought Patterns" by a band called Death with a drummer on it who goes by the name of (ready?): GENE HOGLAN. This guy really talked up the album and Gene's playing in particular (and was rather denigrating to Vinnie's). So I went to Zia Records (I lived in Phoenix) and found a used copy of the album on CD, and was amazed at not only Gene's playing and double kick work but the music in general. Now, this was NOT my first foray into death metal: I owned at that time Amon's (pre-Deicide) second demo, "Sacrificial" and Vengeance Rising's last album was, more or less, death metal with a thrash influence. I also had the second Living Sacrifice album, "Nonexistent"... so, I was somewhat familiar with the idea of death metal, though by no means as much as I am today. "ITP" will always hold that "place in heart" (lol) as being the first intro to Chuck and his world of metal, with Death and later Control Denied (at that time, I had no clue as to Mantas - or Voodoocult or Slaughter). The band Death became a massive influence and staple, and of course, led me to other known death metal bands: Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Gorguts, Pestilence, and a bunch of others. I already knew who Deicide was due to the Amon demo I had at the time. When you stated Death has no bad albums, you were right on. Personally, I'd rank "Human" (gee, what a shock) as my personal fave, but all Death's albums would be a No. 1 for me. The one album I don't listen to as often is "Symbolic", which is the time frame I first got to read a story Modern Drummer did about Gene Hoglan. I didn't know Gene was in Dark Angel (shame on me at that time, like a big DOH!) but I knew the man could play! Death will, for better or worse, always be my number one metal band, death metal or otherwise. Chuck just had a way about him, now that I've been able to see his interviews and so forth. He didn't care if he was "metal enough" for everyone else, he played what he liked, he had his influences and if you didn't like it -then go find another band. He was a chill, laid-back guy but took his music and playing seriously. I so very much appreciate your vids, Ruthless Metal -not just this one but all of them, even if I may not agree with some of your conclusions or rankings or whatnot. You speak your mind, you have high production values, and most of all: you value metal highly. And that's all I need. Cheers!! \m/
Perfect discography. Death is one of my favorite bands ever. My ranking: 1. Individual Thought Patterns 2. Human 3. Spiritual Healing 4. Leprosy 5. Symbolic 6. Scream Bloody Gore 7. The Sound Of Perseverance
I predicted you'd have scream bloody gore as your number. I was close. My number one would have been symbolic followed by human. I just love those mind twisting chord progressions.
Death is my fav band so it's really hard for me to rank the albums. For me they are all between 9,9 and 10 out of 10. But Symbolic, Leprosy and Human are the ones I listen the most. My 3 fav Death songs are Perennial Quest, Pull the plug, Lack of comprehension Chuck will be forever missed. What a genius!!!

I have to agree with you in choosing Leprosy as your number 1. Open Casket and Pull The Plug are songs I hold very dear to me those were the first songs I ever heard by Death. Awesome ranking man
With all the respect, I've never seen more disscussed discography. Like seriously, with death everyone has different ranking, and that shows how great composer Chuck was
that is true. they are all of high quality.
@@RuthlessMetalYT absolute madlad for putting Sound of preseverance that low
I would argue that Death is one of the few bands regardless of genre that doesnt need any type of album ranking since they havent released a single bad album.
That is true Mr. Farbro.
Yea shouldnt be worst to best, should be good to greatest lol
yea the only ones I can think of right now is death and led zeppelin

Perfect ranking
Amazing ranking I agree with it
How could I argue with that?
I agree with your #1
Spiritual Healing is a personal favorite, one of Scott Burns best records IMO - no small feat. But they are all great. My vote for next discography ranking is Carcass.
Especially w the new album out. For me I'd say
Necroticism
Surgical Steel
Swansong
Torn Arteries
Reek of Puterfaction
Heartwork
1. Symphonies of Sickness
My favorite band of all time.
Maybe Morbid Angel?
Cheers!
i totally agree, spiritual healing is a masterpiece
IMO, I really want to like that album more, but the rhythm section just doesn't do it for me with that production. Especially Bill Andrew's drumming. I know he also drums on Leprosy, but the huge gated drum sound on that album fills up more space and sounds more massive. His single kick patterns on SH just sound flat.
You can tell what a great band is when everyone ranks their discography in a different order
Cheers!
Sorry but the best Death album for me is Human (Cosmic Sea is a hymn), and to be sincere there's no bad Death albums...it's just so hard to make a top best DEATH album
Agreed
I agree but Leprosy is their best. ;) Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT That was me when I was starting to listen to Death's music
Oh I'm with you on that Sean Reinhart's drumming was like none other!!
Human, to me, was the point where they went from good to great. Their best albums are the mid and late ones - the early ones are more just curiosities to me. I don’t ever really revisit them.
Death has no bad albums either of those albums could be someone's number 1.
that is true! Cheers!
True
Yeah true, they are all number 1 for me lol
Scream Bloody Gore is the weakest for me, but yeah impossible after their first

@@luissalgado4865 wow lucky you. Thats an awesome.line up
Maybe my rankings are more based on sentimentality. But, Leprosy demonstrates the emotion best. Emotion wears off🙂.
They were changing. It seemed more, unrefined, experimental. Not as ‘Pure’ as the first Three. That is just my feelings though.
I’m biased. I loved Leprosy, and Spiritual, when they came out. I was in 8-9th grade when Leprosy came out. And a sophomore in high school when Spiritual Healing came out. They are my top Death metal world, and Pestilence Consuming Impulse, at this Junctior of my life🤘🏽
And the first 3 were pure death metal
My reasons could probably be better explained. But Fuck that.🤣
All of those albums are incredible. My absolute favourite is Human, closely followed by Leprosy and Symbolic.
Human is hands down my favorite Death album…
Looking for the mic hidden in my house lol.
The most consistent band of all time, nothing but masterpieces
Cheers!
Goodness, Death is just a four horsemen's kiss served on a hot, metal asf plate, all appreciation goes to them even till this day and RIP Chuck Schuldiner 🖤
RIP
Spiritual Healing is so underrated album. For me is the best album because all songs are great not just one or two and the sound is great too. Thanks for video..
Cheers!
THIS
after leprosy and debut my favorite is spiritual healing!
Spiritual Healing has always been my favorite! I love the Chuck and James Murphy combination on that album.
Just hypothetically, where would you put “Control Denied-The fragile art of existence” in with this list if you had too? It was pretty much the same lineup as TSOP, but without Chuck on vocals.
The Control Denied demos from 1996 featured Chuck on lead vocals. His attempt at clean vocals and melodic singing is not bad at all, I might add.
Human is a masterpiece
PRETTY MUCH. Cheers!
Human is the best Death Metal album of all times
The Sound of Perseverance is my favourite album of all time
Good stuff!
The good thing about Death's discography is that you can watch a video where Human is ranked below Spiritual Healing and you still think it's a good list
1. Leprosy
2. Spiritual Healing
3. Symbolic
4. The Sound of Perseverance
5. Individual Thought Patterns
6. Scream Bloody Gore
7. Human
Perfect discography.
Based upon that ranking I am guessing that you got intonthem in the mid 90's? I mean I would rank them with Leprosy and Scream Bloody Gore at 1/2, but thats because I was a teenager in the 80s and those were the albums that turned me onto the band. Lol.
Either way they didnt make a bad album. So your ranking is just as valid as mine
@@martinwakefield8138 I’m 47 years old and only got into Death in 2017, and I’m blown away by what I was missing all these years. Here’s my ranking from
Favorite to least favorite …
Human
Symbolic
Spiritual Healing
Sound of Perseverance
Leprosy
Scream Bloody Gore
Individual Thought Patterns
@@pjcannaday6337 All great albums. Im almost 50 now, but I firstbdiscovered them in 1989. I bought The Ultimate Revenge II because Raven was on it, but there were three songs from Leprosy on it. Open Casket was only the second "Oh Shit!" moment I have ever had as a music fan.
@@martinwakefield8138 - Open Casket is killer. When Chuck sings the chorus, it’s like a damn freight train coming thru the house. Love that song….
Just to clarify. It’s so hard to rank these albums. If Human is a 10/10, then Individual Thought Patterns is no less than a 7.5/10. (Wish the production would have been a little better on Individual Thought Patterns).
Cheers!
7: Scream Bloody Gore
6: Spiritual Healing
5: Leprossy
4: Individual Thought Patterns
3: Human
2: The Sound of Perseverance
1: Symbolic (Favorite Album of all the time)
I definitely prefer more technical and progressive. Chuck forever!
I would rank them in such order as well!
Cheers!
👍🤘
7. Scream Bloody Gore
6. Leprosy
5. Spiritual Healing
4. Human
3. Individual Thought Patterns
2. The Sound of Perseverance
1. Symbolic
I totally agree with you about the technical and progressive stuff... maybe The sound of Perseverance is their most progressive album but
i personally love Symbolic too and i think that is one of the best metal album of all time too ;)
There's 2 types of Death fans. Prog metal death fans and pure death metal fans. Personnally im like you, i prefer progressive, but I love the pure death albums too. I still have a pretty different ranking from yours, so here is mine:
7. Spiritual Healing
6. Human
5. Leprossy
4. Invidual thought patterns
3. Scream bloody gore (pretty underrated imo)
2. Sound of perseverance
1. Symbolic (got damn this album is a masterpiece)
*I can't say that symbolic is my fav album of all time, it's actually vol.3 by Slipknot... Pretty different stuff lol 😂*
No bad Death albums, just ones I like slightly more than others, here's my rankings :
1 - Symbolic
2 - Leprosy
3 - Human
4 - Individual Thought Patterns
5 - Scream Bloody Gore
6 - The Sound Of Perseverance
7 - Spiritual Healing

blasphemy
@@Baghdadbatterymusic Blasphemy indeed xd
I love the fact that you can basically reverse this entire list, or even completely change the order of it and it would work for many people. It truly goes to show just how amazing Chuck, as well as the other members were.
Cheers!
I like their albums that live up to the style: Death. Therefore, my ranking is:
1 - Scream Bloody Gore
2 - Leprosy
3 - Spiritual Healing!!
I don't even mention their technical albums!!
Cheers!
Yeah. I never dug the nerdy geeky technical aspect either. The first two are DEFINITE monumental cult classics.
"The Sound of Perseverance" and "Symbolic" are my favorites...
Cheers!
same.
Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy are my favorites by Death
Good stuff!
1 Symbolic (best album I've ever heard, and still my favourite of all time. Lyrics, Drums, Riffs, Melodies, Solos.. The only flawless 10/10 I know of).
-From the iconic opening riff on Symbolic to Without Judgement's middle section and Perennial's beautiful outro, I love every second.
2 Human (The most intense album with great mix of riffs and melodies. 9.9/10).
-every track could be a highlight.. but See Through Dreams, Vacant Planets and Secret Face are seriously underrated (and my favourites)!!!
3 TSOP (A little long, but it has THE best melodies.. and the Painkiller cover is one of the few I accept, although A Moment of Clarity was a perfect closer. 9.7/10).
-From the complex Scavenger of Human Sorrow to the beautiful, emotional Story to Tell, every song could be a highlight..
4 Leprosy (Perfect lenght and it has the hardest riffs, vocals and Rick's frantic whammy solos fit. The best pure Death Metal record. 9.3/10)
-Pull the Plug, Open Casket, Leprosy, Born Dead and Left To Die are my favourites.
5 Individual T. Patterns (The most technical album with the best bass performance, but it has three "o.k."/ slightly sub-par songs imo.. 9.2/10).
-Trapped In A Corner, Jealousy, Overactive Imagination, Philosopher and Mentally Blind are my favourites.
6 Spiritual Healing (The worst production imo, the drums are so flat.. The riffs, shredding and UNDERRATED melodies rule, though. 9.0/10).
-Within the Mind, Genetic Reconstruction, Defensive Personalities, Title Track and Altering the Future are my favourites.
7 Scream Bloody Gore (The 2nd "worst" production, but it's still a punch to the throat! Awesome piece of history, but is mostly riff-riff-riff. 8.9/10).
-Evil Dead, Sacrificial, Zombie Ritual, Baptized In Blood and Torn To Pieces are my favourites.
This is close to my ranking
Yes! A moment of Clarity is a perfect song. 9.7 / 10
1. Individual Thought Patterns
2. Human
3. The Sound of Perserverance
4. Symbolic
5. Spiritual Healing
6. Leprosy
7. Scream Bloody Gore
I was lucky enough to meet Chuck before he passed back in 1998 when my band opened for Death and Hammerfall at the Troc in Philly. An unforgettable time.
Cheers!
You are one of the luckiest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth
This is a brave ranking to do, Death as you also state have no bad albums in their discography. Rarely can a band almost universally be agreed as not releasing a single dud, not one album that is frowned upon (Cannibal Corpse is another that ticks this same box for me, maybe even Bolt Thrower too)..anyway, Leprosy and Human are hard to split for me for different reasons but ask me in any week and the rest of the order could change but one thing that wont change is that Death as a band and Chuck as a person are sadly missed. R.I.P Chuck - Let the Metal Flow!
Cheers!
Thats one hard rank’em all !! It really depends on the day. When Human is 7th!?!? Man, what a band. ITP and Symbolic literally put tears in my eyes. Early Death Metal masterpiece Leprosy is really genius work. Rick Rozzs solo in Pull the Plug is a whammy fest done to perfection. Spiritual Healing is an underrated monster. Knowing SoP is Chucks last work, besides Control Denied, w that cover of Painkiller still leaves me in a state of shock 23 years later. Thnx for this!!!
yes, many great albums. more or less a perfect discography.
can we also mention how badass the fretless bass work on individual thought pattern is, the lineup on that album is insane
Cheers!
Absolute quality band, so sad to have missed Chuck.
Cheers!
Spiritual Healing was my first death metal album that I bought when I was a kid so it has a special value for me.
That's a solid ranking - and a difficult set of choices for sure. What a great discography.
yes, incredible stuff. Cheers!

I can't believe you ranked human as last
they are all great as I said. Cheers!
All 7 Death's albums are all masterpiece. Love them all so it's hard to rank them, but mine would be:
1. Symbolic (interchangable with TSOP) 10/10
2. The Sound Of Perseverance (interchangable with Symbolic) 10/10
3. Individual Thought Patterns 9.5/10
4. Human 9.5/10
5. Leprosy 9/10
6. Scream Bloody Gore 8.5/10
7. Spiritual Healing 8.5/10
I tend to like more the proggy/tech side of Death, but love the early albums as well.
That' s a great ranking with the marks finally !!!
mine it ' s really really close to yours, and i would rate TSOP with a 10 and Symbolic with a 10 + if it' s possible, but you are right, they are interchangeable !
@Dragon Ball fans can't read more of a popular opinion than not.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read when it comes to music tastes, there’s usually little objectiveness, that’s why it’s called a taste, and that’s why opinions exist. Plus show me the research and stats you made to prove your statement.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read bro if you’re going to make an statement at least back it up with solid arguments. Just listen to whatever the fuck you like 👍
@Dragon Ball fans can't read oh so now legal matters it’s what decides how good the music should be? Control Denied fucks too btw.

I’ve only become a recent fan of Death even though I’ve been listening to Death Metal since ‘98
That being said…I’ve always known who Death were, just didn’t get into them for whatever reason.
But, what I have been listening to recently…makes me wish I had gotten into them when I had gotten into Cannibal Corpse.
RIP Chuck

@@designercaolho that's cause we have good taste, no doubt!
Been waiting for this for so long
Cheers!
Due to nostalgic arguments Scream Bloody Gore will always be my favorite Death record - although Leprosy indeed is their best - with Sacrificial being the favorite song.
I still remember someone recording this for me on tape back in 1987, i.e. shortly after its release.
The new level of intensity and aggression blew me away (including my neighbors, I'd wager 🤔). 🤘😎
Cheers!

yeah, way too early. RIP
I started to listen to Death a year ago. I'm not really ever been into Extreme Metal since I heard Sound Of Perseverance (while I was reading Drizzt books) : that album blow me away.

Death is that kind of a band which has no bad album. They are all 10/10. They are all at first place.
i remember back in 1990, an acquaintance of mine only like Slayer and Death. And that was it. Pretty narrow minded, but he just didn't like anything else. I am very open minded about music, so after a while i had to......pull the plug....on that short friendship

Im psycho fan of Death since 2001 when I've first heard album Leprosy. This album changed everything for me. Such a perfect band and perfect discography. Its not enough to say that Chuck never released a bad album, he never wrote a bad song! Extremely hard to make a list but i would say it goes like that for me:
1) Leprosy
2) Symbolic
3) Individual Thought Pattern
4) Human
5) Spiritual Healing
6) Sound of Perseverance
7) Scream Bloody Gore
Cheers!
There's no bad Death album, all solid imo
Cheers!
There’s no way to rank the death albums- a little shocked with humans ranking but not gonna argue with it.
Cheers!
Mi favorito es el tremendo Spiritual Healing. Aunque pienso que con esta banda es complicado sobretodo a partir del segundo elegir el mejor,cada cual tiene uno...he ahí la grandeza de los Death, inimitables e irrepetibles .Grandes! Un saludo.
Cheers!
Love your take on Leprosy, Pull the PLUG!! Let me pass away…
I would say I feel Spiritual Healing is my # 2. Right after Leprosy. They were in the groove
Cheers!
You're right, Ruthless... there are no bad Death albums. Their discog is very much perfect. I can't help but rank The Sound of Perseverance as #1, personally. It's in my top 5, maybe top 3 music albums of all time. The composition of it is rarely matched. I don't really care what anyone else thinks concerning this... it's my opinion. And yes, I do know that a lot of the material on The Sound of Perseverance wasn't written to be released under the Death moniker but was used because of contract pressures. Still some of the best music laid down, ever. Just think what Chuck might be blessing us with today, were he here...
Cheers!

Not a bad list - sharing my thoughts on these:
1. Spiritual Healing - a killer Bill Andrews' drums sound (the drums sound almost fucking (a-)live), there's a great contrast in approach to solos of (one and only) James Murphy and (also one and only) Chuck (btw it reminds me of Megadeth's Marty Friedman & Dave Mustaine dynamics); to me every song is a death-metal superhit and pure perfection; Chuck's solo in Altering the Future takes me to another dimension everytime I hear it
2. Individual Thought Patterns / Human - a more commercial production, great musicians and great music; I really like the somewhat blurry guitar sound, as it adds to the overall impression the albums give me (especially Human); musically, ITP seems a tad more aggressive to me
3. Leprosy / Scream Bloody Gore - absolute classics, foreshadowing Chuck's genius, but suffering from weaker production a bit; still great records to come back to
4. Symbolic - as-if another version of Spiritual Healing (rhythm changes, songs composition, etc..), but with different production and occassional experimenation which disturbs me (e.g. the spanish guitar in Crystal Mountain); however, the title track and Zero Tolerance are my favourites and I listen to the album from time to time
But basically, all of the above are superb, with very little difference in preferences for each to me.
However, I can't say the same about the last one on my list:
5. The Sound of Perseverance - sorry, folks, I do not like this record - I hate the fucking atrocity called vocals, the drumming seems to go for something super-heavy and ultra-artistic at the same time - and it just sucks - and the overall sound is just annoying for me; but most importantly, for me, the songs are just not good / boring to listen to
And let me add Control Denied to the list - without order:
a, The Fragile Art of Existence - quite an experimental record, somewhat difficult to listen to when going for death metal; it's an experiment with the DM genre as the form, but deviating from it musically; the vocals are also not the ones I cherish; btw - it's worth saying, that if #5 on my list sounded like this, I could tolerate it more 😃
b, Zero Tolerance - not really a polished product, but a haunting reminder of Chuck's talent / vision / musicmanship; first four tracks show his experimental side, the demos give an insight into the process of creating / fine tuning the songs for the first record
good stuff! Cheers!
I was pleasantly surprised about you delving into death metal genre 😃 (Thrash is still the best)
Spiritual Healing is my favorite. I love "mid-tempo" Death metal.
Individual Thought Pattens blew me away when heard it. I thought it was starkly different and til this day I still struggle with listening to the early death albums and this one and recognition they are the same band. I love those early albums but this makes death albums cartoony.
My ranking is the following :
1-symbolic
2-scream bloody gore
3-leprosy
4-individual thought patterns
5-the sound of perseverance
6-human
7-spiritual healing
Great respect for Chuck even thou I sometimes (not always) get tired of albums with so much technical demonstration. Anyway, I agree, no bad albums in their discography.

I agree with most comments that there isn’t a bad Death album. Obviously it’s just which you prefer over the others. I like SBG’s music but the lyrics aren’t for me, I just think lyrics about guts and maggots are just silly and over-the-top. Like I said the music is great (Evil Dead is in my top 3 favorite Death Songs). 3-6 to me are interchangeable, any one of them can be higher or lower depending on which I like more that day lol. But 1 and 2 will never change, Symbolic and Human are my favorites with Symbolic given the slight edge because it’s the first Death album I listened to and made me the Death fan I am today. Besides the outro to Perennial Quest is the most beautiful piece of music Chuck wrote.
These are the best metal rankings in youtube imo
thanks boss. Cheers!
the only diferent choice i made is to put individual though patterns more down on the list. Incredible album, but one of the weakest efforts of the band in my opinion, because looks like they made in this album a mid-term "transition" between some traditional death metal for more progressive death. But their discography is simply perfect, all albuns are good in one way or another. Spiritual Healing is my favorite, specially because of their lyricism and production. It is good you talk about pleasure to kill influence in scream bloody gore, since one of the songs of death's first album literally took one of the riffs of pleasure to kill! I don't know if it's intentional, but looks like a tribute or something
Cheers!
Early Death like Leprosy,Scream....,Spiritual healing are the best in my opinion.This band never disapointed.Riffs,solos drums,chorus,lyrics ,sound.Early inspirations like Nasty savage,Becker and Marty -japanise scales..Sodom, Necrophagia..When I was kid Chuck was my idol.In my opinion the best is Live in L.A...P.s.-Still waiting Bathory,or Canndelmass.Last movie about heavy new wave bands was fantastic..Old eagles and wolfs salut you..hi slava
Great show. My #1 is Spiritual Healing.
I would swap individual thought patterns with spiritual healing and agree 100% to this list.
In 1995 I was 15 years old and quite exclusively into Maiden, Metallica and grunge. Until I heard the song Symbolic on a compilation album. I was blown away! Got the album and was blown away even more! It is one of my all time favourite albums to this day.
I was very much into Perseverance when it was released, but the production kept me from liking it as much as Symbolic.
Over the past years I have been aprreciating Human more and more, in my opinion the production of that album is near perfect. Especially if you're into f*ckin' amazing drumming! A masterpiece.
However much I like Gene, I can never get over the sound of his bass drum on Individual. Such a huge contrast compared to Sean's on Human. It's why I never listened to Individual as much. Good thing Gene sounded great on Symbolic.
yes, good stuff! Cheers!
I love them all. For me? It goes like this from best to “least” good. 😉. Spiritual healing, individual thought patterns, symbolic, human, leprosy, scream bloody gore, and finally the sound of perseverance.
Cheers!
Symbolic, my god Symbolic. For me it's the best Metal album of all time, I can't name anything I dislike from this album not even a second on any song. I've heard this album for like 15 times and I still can't stop listening to it. The riffs, solos, vocals, drums, clean riffs it is just an album made for me haha.
The list:
1. Symbolic
2. Leprosy
3. Individual Thought Patterns (used to dislike this album but now I enjoy quite a bit, even bought a vinyl version of it)
4. Spiritual Healing (the first Death album I heard from the start to finish and my first Death metal vinyl, really love James Murphy's playing he's style makes this album for me)
5. The Sound of Perseverance
6. Human
7. Scream Bloody Gore
As Ruthless Metal said, Death's discography is just perfect, I couldn't agree more, so even the lowest album for me is still one of the best albums for me. Really love all of their songs, that's why Death is my favourite band, every albums feels different, but is still so good. I really can't describe my love for this band.
yes, an insane disco overall. :)Cheers!
-Symbolic
-Scream Bloody Gore
-Leprosy
-The sound of perseverence

Damn. sounds awesome. Cheers!
"ITP" was the very first Death album I ever listened and bought (or bought and listened to, lol), waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1994. How did I hear of such a deserving band, you ask? It started with Modern Drummer and Pantera, LOL! I missed the cover story on Vinnie Paul from August of '94 but I got an issue a month or two later and I was one of those nerds who loved to read the WHOLE magazine. So I used to read the letters to the editor they used to have, and one of those letters was addressing the prior cover feature of Vinnie, and how MD labeled him a double bass master, or something. This person was annoyed and "challenged" MD and other readers to listen to an album called, "Individual Thought Patterns" by a band called Death with a drummer on it who goes by the name of (ready?): GENE HOGLAN. This guy really talked up the album and Gene's playing in particular (and was rather denigrating to Vinnie's). So I went to Zia Records (I lived in Phoenix) and found a used copy of the album on CD, and was amazed at not only Gene's playing and double kick work but the music in general. Now, this was NOT my first foray into death metal: I owned at that time Amon's (pre-Deicide) second demo, "Sacrificial" and Vengeance Rising's last album was, more or less, death metal with a thrash influence. I also had the second Living Sacrifice album, "Nonexistent"... so, I was somewhat familiar with the idea of death metal, though by no means as much as I am today. "ITP" will always hold that "place in heart" (lol) as being the first intro to Chuck and his world of metal, with Death and later Control Denied (at that time, I had no clue as to Mantas - or Voodoocult or Slaughter). The band Death became a massive influence and staple, and of course, led me to other known death metal bands: Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Gorguts, Pestilence, and a bunch of others. I already knew who Deicide was due to the Amon demo I had at the time. When you stated Death has no bad albums, you were right on. Personally, I'd rank "Human" (gee, what a shock) as my personal fave, but all Death's albums would be a No. 1 for me. The one album I don't listen to as often is "Symbolic", which is the time frame I first got to read a story Modern Drummer did about Gene Hoglan. I didn't know Gene was in Dark Angel (shame on me at that time, like a big DOH!) but I knew the man could play! Death will, for better or worse, always be my number one metal band, death metal or otherwise. Chuck just had a way about him, now that I've been able to see his interviews and so forth. He didn't care if he was "metal enough" for everyone else, he played what he liked, he had his influences and if you didn't like it -then go find another band. He was a chill, laid-back guy but took his music and playing seriously. I so very much appreciate your vids, Ruthless Metal -not just this one but all of them, even if I may not agree with some of your conclusions or rankings or whatnot. You speak your mind, you have high production values, and most of all: you value metal highly. And that's all I need. Cheers!! \m/
thank you sir I appreciate it! Cheers!
most poeple knew death because the philosopher was on MTV 2 days a week
Perfect discography. Death is one of my favorite bands ever. My ranking:
1. Individual Thought Patterns
2. Human
3. Spiritual Healing
4. Leprosy
5. Symbolic
6. Scream Bloody Gore
7. The Sound Of Perseverance
Cheers!
I predicted you'd have scream bloody gore as your number. I was close.
My number one would have been symbolic followed by human. I just love those mind twisting chord progressions.
Cheers!
Death is my fav band so it's really hard for me to rank the albums. For me they are all between 9,9 and 10 out of 10.
But Symbolic, Leprosy and Human are the ones I listen the most.
My 3 fav Death songs are Perennial Quest, Pull the plug, Lack of comprehension
Chuck will be forever missed. What a genius!!!
Cheers!
