Kicking my ass only because I'm still just on track 2. If it wasn't for the dumb joke tracks and general decrease in quality, this could have been a great tech-thrash album, that kind of groovy flashy arrogance really works at times.

I don't listen to much black metal. It's not really my thing, but I do like The Shadowthrone. I will throw it on once in awile during the winter.

Honestly one of the best albums made in any genre
I know right? This has always been my favorite album of theirs, and obviously knew it is good, but it was only recently that I realized just how good it really is. Seriously one of the best metal albums ever made IF and ONLY IF you don't compare them to other bands. Death was the perfect name for that band, I just wish Mr. Schuldiner wasn't so apologetic about it.

Broken ears? That album is so disjointed and poorly written its ridiculous. Haphazardly throwing together different sections and riffs of different tempos, with absolutely no regard for cohesiveness and flow, does not a good song (let alone album) make.
Latelt I've been trying not to criticize albums like this, as I've actually been attempting to not be such a cunt about music, but the "broken ears" remark rubbed me the wrong way so fuck that, you woke the dragon.
Musically cunty R.J. is back, everyone. Time to celebrate.

It flows perfectly to me. Anyone who is a fan of progressive music could understand the changes imo. Problem is some of you can't handle complex song structures and creativity

The riffs are generally pretty simple and boring, retreading the same bullshit he had been doing almost since the start. Tons of prog out there better than it.

I love good progressive music.
Problem is, this is not it. TSOP is "prog music" for people unable to analyze music beyond simple surface value. It is complexity for the sake of complexity, without regard for actually creative and skilled songwriting (no, TSOP is not creative, see above about the "prog for people who cant see past basic surface value"). Each song is nothing more than a collection of sections that have no business being slapped together, then given a song title and lyrics.
Tl;dr version: find better prog.

It's not just prog. I also enjoy the thrash and death elements. Find me a better thrash/death/prog album and I'll be a happy metalhead. I disagree. I think the changes fit well together. It's creative, maybe it just sounds slapped together to your ears.
Just LOL at the "unable to analyze music" comment. Write your own thesis on mathematical music theory and we can talk.
It is not creative. Bands have been doing the "LOL lets put this section next to this contrasting section, SO FUCKING PROG MAN" thing for decades. It's not creative, and it's not skilled; it's a copout songwriting technique designed to make a song appear "progressive" to prog metal nerds who wouldn't know about actual progression (see: the goal of true progressive music) if it fucking mushroom stamped them across the forehead. Say what you will, but saying it is creative is factually incorrect. I'm sorry that you got duped.
Also you've written about the mathematics of music theory, but you tell people they have "broken ears" for saying a mish-mash, slapped together album like TSOP is shit? Wow. Actually sorta dumbfounded tbh.
So you admit you only like it because you cant find an album of higher quality that fits that specific genre mash?
