This original pressing sounds incredible!! The drums are amazing and in your face! I can’t imagine the reissues are sounding better than this. Highly recommended. If you ever find this one for a decent price don’t hesitate to grab it. -
Just acquired this original Roadrunner pressing from 1995 and it sounds incredible!
I also have the 2007 and 2014 reissues and I will say the 2014 Metal Blade sounds very very good. The 2007 one is the worst of the bunch but not bad. -
No 25th anniversary reissue on Vinyl for this masterpiece? The only album Relapse don't reissue....
-
For me remastered vinyls sound good( ..and i own couple originals!) I´m not fancy the remastered shit but these are imho good and well made!
-
Hey guys, I read everywhere that the Remaster LPs sound bad. Which versions should I buy regarding sound? greeting

Edited 8 years agoPurchased the metal-blade vinyl reissue, sounds great! I was lucky to find it for an affordable price, wish I could say the same for the Human / ITP albums, which are rare as hens teeth on vinyl.

In my opinion, when it comes to Death, I find that Symbolic (album) is the only album to ever come close to the Human (album)-- scratch that. It's by far my favourite album from Death. I never thought anything would sur Human, but then Symbolic showed up. :)
I found Scream Bloody Gore (album) and Individual Thought Patterns (album) to be disappointing, really. While there were a few tracks I loved (and still love), the albums in general were disappointing to me.
But, with tracks such as: Zero Tolerance, Empty Words and Sacred Serenity, Symbolic really brought Death 'back'. Chuck's great grunting ability and extremely progressive yet melodic guitar-play really make this album come alive. Death used session musicians during the production of Symbolic, and I must say they did a great job.
My rating for this album? 4.5+ out of 5.
