I would say anything by Asphyx that has Van Drunen, They released some decent stuff without him but he just happened to be on their best albums.

The whole Death discography obviously.

It just seems like a watered-down version of The Sounds of Perseverence to me. Even the albums before it (Human and Individual Thought Patterns) were much better.

The Sound Of Perseverence is watered down Death (the band) to the bone and has nothing to do with death metal at all any more, unlike Symbolic which still has a lot of death metal eements in it.

I don't really liek Symbolic Either, WAAAAAAYYYY over-hyped, and Chuck's voice makes me want to gouge my ears out most of the time.

Marcel is right on this one, also, how could they water down The Sound of Perseverance in an album that came out years earlier? Chuck had many abilities, but time travel was not one of them

Symbolic is unreal

1995 had another album that never gets old for me - Slaughter of the Soul (in fact Blinded By Fear had over 1000 plays on my old computer's itunes and is steadily clocking more on my new one), I can listen to the songs over and over and they always are almost as great as the first time

Why? Symbolic is an awesome album.

I always go back to Black Seeds of Vengeance. That album is so creative and devastating. I love the chaos and just the ritual brutality of the vocals. Every couple of years I throw this one back on and damn if it isn't sweet.

Strange or not - Morbid Angel's Gateways to Annihilation. The album, that made me death metal head ) Still listening to it a lot.

Same for me, To be honest I cant tell you why I like it so much, I just do.

I say Sound and Perseverance, and just because it's not cookie cutter death metal, doesn't mean it's no less of an album. I like how they turned traditional death on it's head.

I always felt like it was the other way around, if anything...though The Sound of Perseverance is still a great album. Symbolic definitely has more evident death metal elements, whereas The Sound of Perseverance is really Death at their most progressive. When I see people saying all of Death's discography never gets old, my first thought is "fanboy". But when I think about it, I kinda have to agree. There's nothing Death has put out that I don't really enjoy. They manage to pull off a huge range of styles amazingly well. Everything from their old Mantas demos to Sound of Perseverance is really fucking cool.

As for other albums that never get old, Altars of Madness is definitely one of them for me. I love me some old MA (because if I think about what they just released, I'll cry), and Altars is my favourite of them. Majesty and Decay is an album I'm surprised isn't rated higher than it is. I think it's brilliantly done; one of those albums that's almost a concept album, but not quite. Immolation did a great job of creating a unified mood (really kind of a downer) with all of the songs as a whole both lyrically and musically, but still kept each one distinct. And I have to give props to Nile, as they're one of the only bands who play a more modern style of DM better than I think they would play old school death metal. In Their Darkened Shrines and Annihilation of the Wicked are both excellent albums, but I have a preference for Shrines.

Many albums are all-time classics for me. Some of them come from underground bands. That's what I love in metal (among others), the underground.

Played it a thousand times then and still sounds good now..

This means you agree with me?

Problem is that not all of Death's discography is death metal. So it is impossible to say that the whole Death discography never gets old when it comes to the best death metal albums

At The Gates' first two LPs, Edge of Sanity's Spectral Sorrows and Purgatory Afterglow, Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes, Darkthrone's Soulside Journey.

That's about it, after these albums I don't even like most OSDM since most I've heard sounds boring and uneventful after these.

That's for OSDM, when it comes to tech death I like much more stuffs.

Yes.

Can't believe i never chimed in here. i could list a bunch of the old ass Earache and RR albums I picked up back in the early 90's.

Bolt Thrower is the one that has lasted the longest for me. loved 'em then, still do now.

Not sure why the hate on Death's Symbolic. Seems to me a more perfected version of where they were headed... a big improvement over Human or ITP. And never really liked Sound of Perseverance - especially Chuck's vox on that.

Yeah I agree, Bolt Thrower definitely kicks ass, and I do like Symbolic too and Chuck's vocals on Sound of Perseverance sounds like he was hit in throat with a baseball bat.

Also, Unquestionable Presence by Atheist, Nocturnus' The Key, Left Hand Path from Entombed, Unanimated's Ancient God of Evil and Pestilence's Consuming Impulse. All those albums very rad, definitely never get old for me.
