2 stars Listening diary 20th June, 2021: Death - Individual Thought Patterns (technical death metal, 1993)

One of the biggest examples of a band, and perhaps even an entire genre, just not being to my taste would be the iconic eponymous death metal band. I saw this album described as being "at least 50% solos" which perhaps explains my distaste for it, alongside the purposefully ugly aesthetics in tone and production. I have a lot of respect for Schuldiner and his craft, but the only thing I really have any praise for here is the bass guitar, which has quite a nice tone and is reasonably well represented. The guitars, vocals and drums all sound like utter garbage and at least half of the music here is amelodic shredding. Really, truly just not for me.

2.9 (3rd listen)
