I totally disagree. They started out with a reasonable imitation of Possessed and peaked with Leprosy (one of the purest expressions of the early death metal art). After that, they attempted to fuse mediocre death metal with simpering, Metallica-style "socially conscious" (read sentimental drivel) lyrics. Human was qualitatively superior to the previous album, but it was essentially obsolete before it was even released. More importantly, Human was a step in the wrong direction, and led inexorably and inevitably to the ego-worship and pathetic pandering to pseudo-intellects that marred their later releases.SculptedCold said:I don't really see how one can compare Scream Bloody Gore to The Sound Of Perseverance. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the former is a steaming pile of shit compared to Death's last album....and i'm more of a death metal fan than a technical/prog one.
