Human!
Great Death tier list, is the friendship still closed for service
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 lol no we good
@@MetalTrenches Alright, gonna go listen to Ministry- Relapse record.. Alright I'll stop😅😂
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 lol
You know you have a great band when nobody agrees what their best album is.
Yes, pure art
Like Alice In Chains and Pantera
@@GeobardwainJar of Flies and Dirt are the best AIC albums imo
Exactly. Not a bad one. Thought patterns is my least favorite but fuck it beats a lot of other greats bands’ best.
@@Huddle_House56 That album is my favorite, Symbolic is a pretty close second.
1. Human
2. Symbolic
3. Individual Thought Patterns
4. Leprosy
5. Scream Bloody Gore
6. The Sound of Perseverance
7. Spiritual Healing
Leprosy 2014 reissue is s tier
There are no bad Death albums.
Exactly.
i agree
In this case ranking the albums is kinda pointless, they’re all great. Works of art within the genre. There is no best although I prefer the technical period, a really great run of albums there. Individual thought patterns is a unique and perfect record. Symbolic is amazing too and on a particular day it may be my favorite. I like how it was nearly a constant revolving lineup and the different contributions the members brought. It’s been said that the spiritual healing live era was their heaviest so that’s interesting to note as well.
What about: Symbolic, Human, Leprosy, ITP, SBG, Sound of Perseverance and Spiritual Healing?
Kidding, they're all good or great
For me at least, this band has a lot of S tier albums
I agree
All s imo
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 all S, no question.
Literally all of em imo lol
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 Same. Every Death album is S rank.
Wow I was gonna be shocked if Symbolic or Human were anything less than S tier but Symbolic at C? Yikes lol.
Yeah I’m gonna catch some major shit but that’s just how I feel
@@MetalTrenches You did make me want to revisit their first album at the very least haha.
What.....? I haven't even watched yet 😕 wtf bro
The album is, no pun intended, Symbolic for most Death fans.
@@mrdark9604 not quite a requirement. Im 16 and not even a drummer but the drumming at the chorus in Crystal Mountain is fucking world class.
For me, their later stuff is the material I gravitate towards more. I like the more progressive/melodic/technical side of Death. Also, check out the Death By Metal documentary.
Yeah I need to do that
Symbolic is the best death metal record of all-time. Period. It''s an absolute perfect combination of progressive elements, fucking unreal riffs, groove elements, and killer songwriting and lyricism. It's basically flawless.
C tier makes me super butthurt, tbh.
he kinda lost all credibility with that one
Symbolic is the peak of Death's discography, the sum of the whole band's evolution through time. After that, to avoid repeating himself, Chuck began to experiment with different sounds in TSOP. It was like "we reach the higher we can get playing death metal. Let's see what other stuff we can do".
Symbolic is unbeatable.
It’s less heavy sorry guys. It’s great, just in a different way
@@TWANDTWIn terms of death metal, it’s less heavy. Sorry
@@deathmetal0073 There's more to death metal than just heaviness. Any dumb caveman can bang on some instruments and make brutally heavy bullshit (see: all of Cannibal Corpse).
One of my favourite bands of all time! Here is my ranking:
7 - Spiritual Healing - 8.5/10
6 - Individual Thought Patterns - 8.5/10
5 -Scream Bloody Gore - 9/10
4 - Leprosy - 9.5/10
3 - Human - 9.5/10
2 - Symbolic - 10
1 - The Sound of Perserverence - 10 (on my top 20 albums of all time)
LOL I have the same list
U should drop a rough top 10 or 20 list
Based
TSoP is an absolute masterpiece. For me it's tied with Hvis lyset tar oss as best metal album.
SOP is criminally judged by some fans. Might not be completely Death Metal, but as a Heavy Metal album. Is one of the absolute best
I have a very... odd list, but here's mine
7. Scream Bloody Gore
6. Individual Thought Patterns
5. Leprosy
4. Symbolic
3. Human
2. Sound of Perseverance
1. Spiritual Healing
Ah finally a Spiritual Healing enjoyer. My list is very similar to yours. I was surprised most other people have SH so low lol
That's a decent list, Spiritual is definitely my #1 as well.
No Joke, this is my exact ranking lmao!
Agree but perseverance is not that good
@@Alfonsosguitarvids Bite the Pain and Moment of Clarity are absolute monster bangers, so I have to politely disagree.
7. Scream bloody gore (the only death album i don't love)
6. Spiritual healing
5. Leprosy
4. Symbolic
3. Human
2. Individual thought patterns
1. The sound of perseverance
@Darren Holmes SBG Is not a great album
@Darren Holmestbh you could play any song from it, and i could also guess any song from it, because most of them sound pretty much the same.
1:10 Chuck played all instruments on Scream Bloody Gore EXCEPT drums. The drums were played by Chris Reifert, who is the drummer and frontman of Autopsy!
I say this seconds later lol
Severed Survival is a classic
did you watch more than 30 seconds of this video?
I understand symbolic is a love or hate album so I wasn’t too surprised there. But spiritual healing at C surprised me. It’s such a fun catchy album and the riffs are genre defining
Both Human and Symbolic are fantastic albums. "S" tier easily.
S: Scream Bloody Gore, Symbolic
A: Leprosy, Spiritual Healing, Sound of Perseverance
B: Human, Individual Thought Patterns
C:
D:
F:
Trapt: Trapt
lol Trapt tier is a rough one to be in
I'll still take Trapt over Puddle of Mudd though. I know thats not sayibg much but thats how much I hate that band.
@@joshalan5125 fun fact: I saw Puddle Of Mud open for Korn on the Untouchables tour
@@MetalTrenches Thats funny. Were they just as bad back then or did they put on a good live show?
@@joshalan5125 honestly they were pretty solid but the crowd was not too into it
I love how Death is a band where you can have your favorite album and it makes sense no matter which one it is because they’re all different and have their own unique identity. When I first started out with death I loved human and Leprosy, and now I’m much more into individual thought patterns and spiritual healing
It is insane how differently everyone ranks these albums. I don't think there is any orher band where there is so little consensus. Death rules.
I have Sound Of Perseverance last, and Spiritual Healing first ✌🏽
Totally agree on Individual Thought patterns. Ive listened to it from ‘94 and its really their best album i my opinion, (maybe together with their 3 first)
All S tier!! Or at least 7 albums where every song is good - one of the best catalogues ever.
is there really a bad death album tho
Not really
Nope because Death never did make a bad album
In my top 5 favorite bands of all time! I love every album so much for different reasons. The early work is pure death metal with thrash influence, and I love the later more prog death stuff even more!
7. Scream Bloody Gore (1987) 8.5/10
6. Spiritual Healing (1990) 8.5/10
5. Individual Thought Patterns (1993) 9.5/10
4. Symbolic (1995) 10/10
3. Leprosy (1988) 10/10
2. Human (1991) 10/10
1. The Sound of Perseverance (1998) 11/10
are you my brother? I have the same opinion, rankings and the frist thing you said is literally me
S -> symbolic, human, ind. t. patterns
...
the other ones
Discovered death recently and I cant stop listening to them.
Legends
Spiritual Healing is my favorite, with Symbolic a close second and a even closer third ITP.
Symbolic is my favorite album personally but Spiritual Healing is awesome too
For me:
Scream Bloody Gore - S
Leprosy - A
Spiritual Healing - A
Human - S
Individual Thought Patterns - A
Symbolic - S
Sound of Perseverance - B
Then what is in D tier?
Man, I never knew someone could have objectively wrong opinions, but you, Metal Trenches, are always ahead of the pack! Lol, love you ranked reviews and love your channel! Keep making excellent/controversial content skull-face!
lol based
Why is there so much praise for Crystal Mountain when without judgement and 1000 eyes are on there. Way better tunes.
Symbolic is my favourite
It’s a lot of people’s favorite. I just wasn’t into it
Symbolic at C?!?!?!? Bruh.

Recent death metal convert. Was more thrash, sludge and doom. There are no bad Death albums but I love the vision Chuck had for the later half. The intersection of ferocity and technical prowess- truly amazing stuff and classic body of work
Human
Spiritual Healing
Leprosy
Individual Thought Patterns
Symbolic
Sounds
The Sound of Perseverance is one of my favourite records of all time
The thing that amazes about this band is that I never have a favorite. I can listen to all of these records and enjoy stuff from each one. I do agree that Symbolic is probably the worst one, but it's still incredible and next month it might be my favorite. Death are the rare band that evolved but never sucked.
I'm also new to Death. I gave all of their albums some spins after watching this and some other videos. Our rankings are very different, though. But you got some interesting picks.
Seeing where you and Questy put their debut, I was saving that for later, but it's honestly at last or thereabout for me.
The songs and song writing are a bit boring to me, though I see some quality in it. It's still a good album, as are all of Death's albums.
I much prefer their later stuff. I think they progressively got better (no pun intended). But then again, I prefer progressive death to classic / thrash death.
Here's my ranking:
S
Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance
A
Individual Thought Patterns and Human
B
Leprosy and Spiritual Healing
C
Scream Bloody Gore
Occasionally, the S and A albums switch places. More listens will decide that.
Love your vids, my personal favourite is the sound of perseverance
Thanks 🤘🏻
my favorite too
My Top 4 albums by DEATH (in order) :
• #1 INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS
• #2 SYMBOLIC
• #3 HUMAN
• #4 THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE
Edit : A newbee rating DEATH albums after one listen? 🤦🏼♂️ … LOL.
I haven't started watching it yet, and I know that I'm going to disagree with some of the tier positionings, but thanks for sharing this man. They were such a great band.
🤘🏻
And having watched the video, I think you've pretty much nailed it! Symbolic is by far my favourite album however, so I disagreed with you there!
Honestly gotta agree with the C on symbolic, vocals are really not my taste and the production is very boring, some great solos but hard to get to with how boring i find the rest of the album
My ranking Best To Worst
Symbolic: S
Human: S
Leprosy: A&S
Thought Patterns: A
Perseverance: A
Scream Bloody Gore: A
Spiritual Healing: B
Edit: Leprosy is for me a solid S tier record, I would put it under Symbolic.
I have pretty much the same ranking 😁
One of the best bands of all time imo
S: Human, Leprosy
A: Symbolic, The Sound of Perseverance
B: Scream Bloody Gore, Individual Thought Patterns
C: Spiritual Healing
D: None
Interested to see your thoughts.
I have a soft spot for spiritual healing. Sort of like South of Heaven. Human definitely is boring. Sound of Perseverance is by my favorite
Damn no love for Symbolic but tbh I have grown to like Human and ITP more than Symbolic over the years. From their first three, Spiritual Healing is my least fav.
Symbolic 10 easy .
The opening of Symbolic BORED you? ...well, ok man. Oh boy. Didn't know that hot take could give me the sweats but here we are.
For me I’ll place them all in S except scream bloody gore in A
Yeah but that would be a VERY boring video to watch
My list top to bottom
Human
Spiritual Healing
Scream Bloody Gore
Symbolic
Sound of perseverance
Leprosy
Individual Thought Patterns
highest avg score of any discography with more 3 or more album OAT (imo)
My list

1. Individual thought patterns
Gonna copy my own comment from an old CoverKillerNation Death ranking video :P
((S TIER))
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 as part of the original CD. 9.7/10).
-From the complex Scavenger of Human Sorrow to the beautiful, emotional Story to Tell, every song could be a highlight..
((A TIER))
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.
((B TIER))
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.
I love death metal, but I never was into Death. Just saying!
My ranking:
7) Scream Bloody Gore
6) Symbolic
5) The Sound Of Perseverance
4) Individual Thought Patterns
3) Leprosy
2) Spiritual Healing
1) Human
I had to drop your video at the moment you put HUMAN a B
Sorry…
You need to improve your *LACK OF COMPREHENSION * LOL
@@cesarcaro777 I pray you are being sarcastic lol
Symbolic
Leprosy
HUMAN
SOP
ITP
SH
SBG
It's funny how people taste differs.
S: SBG, leprosy, SH
A: symbolic, SOP
B:HUMAN
C: ITP
Death albums are impossible to rank all are at S tier. Scream Bloody Gore might be an A
Yeah but that would be a boring video to watch
S Scream bloody Gore, Leprosy
A Symbolic, Individual Thought Patterns
B Human, Sound of Perseverance
C Spiritual Healing
Symbolic and TSOP take 2 spots in my top 10
Symbolic boring!?omg
What can I say? 🤷🏻♂️
Earlier albums much better im not a fan of the tech stuff
Well, my list is quite controversial.
S: spiritual healing
A: leprosy
B: scream bloody gore and human
C: individual thought patterns
D: symbolic and the sound of perseverance.
After spiritual healing they got progressively worse with each album in my opinion.
Are you not big on prog in general?
@@MetalTrenches that's right. I'm not a prog fan. I'm more of an OSDM fan. But what makes me dislike those albums is Chuck's voice. It makes every album after spiritual healing unlistenable to me, which is a pity because the music is pretty good.
@@ea297 Chuck's voice on Human and ITP is amazing to me. To each their own I guess...
Everyone is gonna have a different opinion here, death has never made a bad album. My rankings least to best are
Scream Bloody Gore - Least
Symbolic
Sound of Perseverance
Individual Thought Patterns
Human
Leprosy
Spiritual Healing - best
Always
I love human, s tier for me., but I completely get in what you mean by being the least human. The songs have a personality to me, but it always gave the vibe to me of observing human existence from an outside perspective, less so than from a human's standpoint. I do love that though. Especially vacant planets, which also lyrically sounds like an alien talking about humans and their flaws
Interesting. I could see that
Symbolic C?? WTF!!!! How did u get bored listening 1000 eyes?
Different strokes...
The one thing i love about Death is that there’s a Album for every mood, so the list always change. When i wanna hear some straight, in your face brutallity or some jazzy-tech stuff, Death have it all covered.
Anyway my list would be:
1. Human
2. The Sound of Perseverance
3. Spiritual Healing
4. Individual Thought Patterns
5. Symbolic
6. Scream Bloody Gore
7. Leprosy
King crimson
Haven't even watched yet but for me:
S tier-Leprosy, Spiritual Healing, Human, Individual Thought Patterns
A-Scream Bloody Gore, Symbolic
B-The Sound of Perseverance (can't get into the vocals but maybe I will in the future) also I'll throw out Control Denied in the A tier because I really enjoy that album too
Symbolic is one of my favourite death metal albums of all time lol
1. Symbolic
2. The Sound Of Perseverance
3. Leprosy
4. Scream Bloody Gore
5. Human
6. Individual Thought Patterns
7. Spiritual Healing
Leprosy.......the king
now do control denied xd
I didn’t have friends who were into Death growing up so I’m pretty new to them. I heard Human first (I was going through a Cynic phase) and as good as it is, I actually like the 3 albums after it more - I’m just listening to the first three now. They have some amazing songs at an overall high quality throughout their career. Really hard band to rank. For me it boils down to the sound of the recording and the rest of the musicians because the song writing itself is consistently very good. Excited to see Death to All in Portland this March!
Human is one of my favorite albums by Death but I do see why it could be a B tier for some people but it’s my favorite album art by them and one of my favorite songs by them is actually See through Dreams off of human
Scream Bloody Gore
Ha, we pretty much have the reverse list. SBG is my least fav, symbolic and spiritual are my favs lol
Big fan of the band since the beginning. I will rank all of them but the last one in the S/A tier. I cannot stand SOP though, because Chuck changed the way he sang and I just didn't care much about the Controlled Denied album.
Fair enough
S: Leprosy, Human
A: Scream Bloody Gore, Spiritual Healing, Symbolic
B: The Sound of Perseverance
C: Individual Thought Patterns
dont wanna be a hater but how the fuck is symbolic c tier, it is ss tier
“That’s just, like, you’re OPINION, man.”
Symbolic bored me too, it’s refreshing to see someone else with that take.
My List:
S: Human (this one is my favorite because to me, this is the best blend of their early and later styles, still having elements of the classic era while still pushing musical boundaries), Scream Bloody Gore (by far the best debut album I’ve ever heard), and Symbolic (can’t beat the production on this one)
A: The Sound of Perseverance (this one is pretty good, but not as good as the ones above it)
B: Leprosy (this would be in A if not for the reverbed vocals) and Individual Thought Patterns (this would be in A if it didn’t have fretless bass)
C: Spiritual Healing (between the reverbed vocals and the fact that this one never clicked with me as much as the others did, I can’t rank it higher; it’s still a good album, though)
No bad albums tho of course. Scream Bloody Gore is INCREDIBLE but lately I have been listening to it less. Human is so good and I hate to state the obvious but it may be the perfect mix of brutal and progressive. My favorite really depends on the day honestly. Love them so so much.
There are 0 bad albums, but here is my list:
7. Sound of Preserverance
6. Spiritual Healing
5. Leprosy
4. Individual Thought Patterns
3. Human
2. Symbolic
1. Scream Bloody Gore (first Death album I listened to)
Honestly mine it’s almost literally all the way around XD
If 3 and 2 were switched we would have had the same list
I liked seeing Individual Thought Patterns getting love. I really like this album for the reasons you give and I think that's the best rhythm section death had. My list would be:
1) scream bloody gore (i revisit this most)
2) individual thought patterns
3) leprosy
4) symbolic
5) human
6) spiritual healing
7) sounds of perseverance
On second thought, switch scream bloody and leprosy. Leprosy is so perfect. And switch Human and Spiritual Healing
Nice!!!! Mental Trenches drop a Death tier video the day I’m wearing my thirty something year old Spiritual Healing t-shirt!
Favourite album: the almighty Human.
I SEE ALL lol
All Death albums must be on S Tier. Human & Symbolic maybe on S Tier+++
Would make for a dull conversation and video
@@MetalTrenches yeah...got it
7) Symbolic
6) The Sound of Perseverance
5) Scream Bloody Gore
4) Leprosy
3) Spiritual Healing
2) Human
1) Individual Thought Patterns.
ITP is where death peaked for me. Unlike Symbolic where it just has too many slow parts and the vocals are a bit hit and miss, ITP for me is perfection. The vocals, the guitars, the technical riffs, the solos, the speed, its just perfect.
Human is S tier for me.... I agree together as one is one of my favorites, bit I can not agree with such a low placement.... but to each his own. I also couldn't get into symbolic, but I still think there are plenty of solid tracks on that one.
I accept that I’m definitely in the minority on this one
@@MetalTrenches it's interesting that people can like the same band but have completely different views on albums. Keep it up. I know there a few beloved bands that I'm not into even though I see the appeal, they just don't strike a chord with me, so I can understand where you are coming from.
My ranking from best to worst:
1. The Sound of Perseverance
2. Leprosy
3. Individual Thought Patterns
4. Symbolic
5. Scream Bloody Gore
6. Human
7. Spiritual Healing
You know the band is an masterpiece when they never released a single bad album 😮
Also didn't agree with the list, honestly mine goes like this:
Screamy bloody gore: S
Leprosy: S
Spiritual Healing: A
Human: A
Individual Thought Patterns: S
Symbolic: S
The Sound of Preserverance: A
You can say everything, mainly that my list is quite bias tbh, but who cares? Death literally released only masterpieces.
I say, only the Sound of Preserverance has a flaw, which is the vocals which i quite dislike.
Still, it is a masterpiece even with this problem

bro forgot raign in blood wtf
lol
Not enough love for individual thought patterns. With u all the way man. Human is great but I.T.P is all the way fleshed out. And somehow it seems to go unnoticed. The early cuts are super raw and the last 2 albums are in a place of their own i feel. The middle 3 are the perfect balance and I.T.P did it the best.
Surprised to see spiritual healing so low. I have my gripes with the drums, but I was never bored.
Love from australia. 🤘🤘🤘
