[JonnyD]

Chuck was a gifted player and a great mind but I would have to say that my favorite Death album is Individual Thought Patterns it was the first one I ever heard Just an awsome peice of work

I can't decide between Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance. :Smug:

 

[Gory Elephant]

This is one bizarre thread, I will tell you. It has to be indicative of the age of the one who posts each particular list. For instance, I absolutely refuse to believe that anyone over the age of, say, 28 would EVER discuss a list of thier favorite Death albums, and put Leprosy and SBG in the last two positions. Mind you, I am not putting any value or judgement on either scenario, just commenting that it must be a generational thing. Anyone care to prove me wrong? Let's try an experiment.

Which of the following two lists of Death cd's MORE CLOSELY resembles your opinion (as far as best albums goes). Respond with your pick and your age.

LIST A:

1) Leprosy
2) Scream Bloody Gore
3) Spiritual Healing

And the rest(4-7) in no particular order: Human, TSOP, ITP, Symbolic

Or, LIST B:

1-4 in no particular order, Human, TSOP, ITP, Symbolic, and the rest (5-7) something like as follows:

5) Spiritual Healing
6) Leprosy
7) Scream Bloody Gore

Which LIST, and how old?

 

[Mournful Death]

In my opinion, The Sound of Perseverance is by far Chuck Shuldiner's best work, even as great as the entire Death catalog is. Scavenger of Human Sorrow, Spirit Crusher, Flesh and the Power It Holds and Bite The Pain all get heavy rotation on my WinAmp.

Mournful

 

[R.I.P.2]

Human.

Human

 

[SculptedCold]

Gory Elephant - List B, and i'm 19.5

The experiment you're attempting is pretty bizarre too. as far as favourites go, one would expect the older generation to prefer the earlier Death albums.....the vast majority of people preferentially stick to the music they grow-up with or hear/get used to first.

 

[Raumien]

I'd have to pick Scavenger, it's so Progressive sounding and the vocals are possibly the best on any album I've heard. It has their Painkiller cover, which easily beats out God of Thunder, it's just a cooler song and isn't so popular to cover.

Human never got me anywhere near excited as SOP did. I never really saw how someone could pick that as their favorite Death album.

For the record, I'm 17.

I am not sure I understand. That is exactly what I am saying. I was marveling at the fact that anyone would put Leprosy and SBG at the bottom of their list, but then figured that they must be a little younger. And my experiment was a lighthearted way to try to confirm this. Why is that bizarre?

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

Here's how I rank them.

1. Human
2. Spiritual Healing
3. The Sound Of Perseverance
4. Symbolic
5. Leprosy
6. Individual Thought Patterns
7. Scream Bloody Gore

They're ALL fantastic though!

I don't know man, I got into them in 1990 and I still put Scream Bloody Gore at the bottom of my list. I guess it's just personal taste here. I did rank Spiritual Healing very high due to the fact that it is not only the first Death album I ever heard, but was the first DEATH METAL album I'd ever heard. That album has alot of sentimental value for me.
