I'm surprised Yanko said the bass is ok.... Steve DiGiorgio is the best bassist Death ever had, which is saying something. He's practically a virtuoso and really shows it off here. Individual Thought Patterns is a good album, but it lacks general direction. It has an all star cast, and it shows. The music is played perfectly, but the songs just lack identity.

This review is really gay to the max. I'm not one of those people that worship this band, but I think this album deserves a higher rating. I don't find it disorganized at all, and they managed to keep a fresh sound by progressing.

It is just not as heavy as that past albums. Chuck takes a slightly cleaner approach on his vocals, Chuck managed to write great thought-provoking lyrics, almost more incredible than "Human". It has a nice melodic mood to it, killer bass work, excellent guitar solos with alot of feeling. I didn't like it all to much on the first two listens, but now I have come to really appreciate the compositions. "Destiny" has the most beautiful opening, and "Jealousy","Trapped In A Corner" and "The Philosopher" are my favorite tracks. Defnitley underrated the album.

I don't agree with the rating; this is probably the most technique Death album; only for the presence of Steve DiGiorgio and Gene Hoglan in the line-up and for tracks like "Overactive Imagination" and "The Philosopher" this album deserves a 9.5

I disagree with the score on this album. This is actually my favorite Death album, and I would recommend it to anyone into death metal, not just 'fascinated with the phenomenom that is Death'.
I do agree that sometimes the songs sound as though not all the instruments fit perfectly, but in some ways, it adds to the complexity of the album, and is actually a positive. I thought Sound of Perserverance blended together almost too well, and the result was an album that got somewhat old after repeated listens.

Man, I dont know WTF is wrong with me, or with this Yanko dude, but it seems I disagree with almost every review he wrote about Death. First he claims Death play thrash metal, now ITP is their worst album..... What?
No, ITP is one of their best albums, and as you said, just the fact that Steve D. and Gene Hoglan played on it, says enough.....

Well it looks like the writer of the article hates Death. To me it is theis best album a bit better than ALL their other works which also deserve a 10. But this album is magnificent. Technically it is the best work death ever did, the songs don't look the same, the lyrics are very good and we can also say that this is not as so prog album i don't see any prog signs. It is also the last album before Chuck started to lighten up his vocals.. At least a note of 11/10!

This review is a joke and people who down this album because it so called "lacks heaviness and direction" don't know what there talking about and shouldn't really comment or review stellar albums such as this. Hell you shouldn't be listening to music period if you don't like this album.

Wow. I've never so strongly disagreed with a review. I think this is Death's best album by far. Saying the bass on this album is "ok" is a complete insult to Death & Steve. I mean come on, every since I heard this album I wanted to get a fretless bass. The bass is not only technical, but very tastefully written, and perfectly composed: his bass riffs pop up in all of the perfect places at the perfect time. Andy's solo is Trapped in Corner is Death's best solo. This album has the best drumming, and by far the best riffs, Chuck's vocals are perfect, and the lyrics are really interesting, more so than other Death albums. This album to me represents Chuck's greatest accomplishment of his life. This album will always be a 10 to me.

A bad review from someone who doesn't know about metal. At all. He asks for the sterilization of free and beautiful art.

This is my fave Death album, along with "Scream Bloody Gore", so I obviously don't agree with this review.
I see this album as Death's masterpiece, and not even their amazing final 2 albums can quite top it. Definitely one of my absolute favourite albums of all time!
I know reviews are basically just opinions, so arguing with them seems pretty stupid. But saying Steve Digiorgio's bass playing on this album is merely ''okay"?? He delivers one the finest bass performances Ive ever heard, on ITP. He adds more colour, and texture to the songs. As opposed to just a heavy bottom end like so many other bass players do. The bass playing is insane, especially on "Jealousy" which is just jaw dropping! Steve is rightly regarded as one of metal's most gifted bass players, and his performance on this album is probably the ultimate proof of that. I cant see how even anyone who hated the album, could deny the extraordinary bass skills shown on it. *shrugs*
