Death's >human, is in my opinion by far, the best album ever release by a deathmetal band...With good reasons, the production,lirycs, sound,and how originaly it truly is and as a fan of this genre after so many years that makes me very proud. Any one who loves metal and dont have any death albums yet? Commit suicide !

Death metal classic September 1, 2004

When I first listened to this album, I was a bit skeptical and more partial to Death's newer material than the older. However, after blasting this album in my car, I was stunned with awe. Then I realized why this album had received such high praise. This was a turning point for Chuck Schuldiner and Death. Human was Death's first effort to deliver speed, technicality, heaviness, and melody...and they succeeded!
It seems Chuck has matured with his lyrics, while his brutal death metal vocals remain the same. The guitar riffs aren`t the most complex, but this is still a fairly large step for Death and they still manage to make unique tunes that actually sound good. The guitars have a raw and thick sound with a dosage of melody. Although Steve DiGiorgio is an awesome bassist his bass sounds like total crap in some parts of this album. Listen at around 0:24 into the song "Suicide Machine" and you hear what sounds like a rubber band, but it is supposed to be Steve's bass.
The drumming is rather burly sounding; nice and thick. Sean proves himself a worthy drummer as you listen to the dismal drums which take you into "Flattening of Emotions," as well as "Together As One". Paul shows that he can fill the shoes of metal guitar guru - James Murphy by playing his parts with obvious ease. It sure was nice for the members of Cynic to lend out their two best men. Yet again, Chuck shows that unless the line up is perfect, it doesn't fly.
Most of the songs are fast, with the exception of the beautifully welded instrumental - "Cosmic Sea," which more than makes up for lack of speed with carefully placed rhythm and humming melodies. There is even a quick little bass solo in this instrumental. This is a nice fresh listen - it contains expeditious speed, heaviness, with a nice dab of melody while keeping intelligent and unique lyrics in constant presence. Sad enough, music isn't made like this much these days. This is one of the album I own that I can listen to all the way through without the desire to skip any tracks.
At this point in time, this was a huge step of advancement in Death's existence. I would go as far to say that this album is a classic and should be owned by any and all death metal lovers. Hurry up and buy it if you don't own it yet.

My 1st Death cd July 1, 2004

Ok, this is my first Death cd and the first thing I noticed was the extreme speed of the guitars, which are quite fantastic. I'm sure you all know that Chuck Shuldiner is dead, but for those who didn't he is. Let me say that he is one of the greatest Metal songwriters EVER. Every song on this cd is lightening fast brutality mixed in with some melodic leads and crazy melodic solos. The lyrics are wonderful and Chuck's vocals are very original and emotionally brutal. The bass is played majestically and is VERY deep, making the songs pretty heavy, combined with de-tuned guitars. It's that awesome-type of heavy, not the type where you de-tune your guitars so they sound like mud (Mortician), but the type where the bass makes the music thick and heavy. Steve DiGorgio is a fantastic bassist, he really is.
The guitars by Chuck and Co. are seriously fast, heavy and technical, at times, melodic.
The drumming is fantastic, Sean Reinert is one of the best drummers in metal, he's on the level as Flo Mournier and Tony Leaurano (Cryptopsy, Nile), also some of the greatest drummers ever. His double bass is amazing!Every song is awesome on this cd but my current favourites are Suicide Machine, Secret Face, Lack of Comprehension and Vacant Planets. This is a true classic and one of the greatest Death Metal cd ever.
