Simply a masterpiece, no other words... Chuck in our hearts! RIP
Good review dude! |

| Personally I like the chorus riff on "Empty Words", and the songs are generally crafted pretty competently, but overall it's a fairly bad album. "Most songs' titles on the CD give you the idea what they are about, but the way the words are spoken in those songs make a listener speculate on the hidden meanings of the texts."... I don't know about that, most of the lyrics are pretty obvious, pedestrian and/or safe. Like "1,000 Eyes" or "Crystal Mountain", some unambitious observations coupled with thin to nonexistent metaphors. I wouldn't quite call this unlistenable, but it's definitely symbolic (lol) of Chuck's artistic decline at this stage of his career. |

| thanx people. it's my first review and indeed 'Chuck in our hearts.' No one else's music is just so "sick." |

Fantastic words. When I discovered Death, Chuck had already passed away which brought me to tears. I immediately went out and bought every Death cd and they are most sacred. This is easily my favorite of the lot, but Spiritual Healing isn't far behind.
Excellent review! |

| thanx. i know. but maybe some day i'll reach the level to play them. Chuck said when he started the band back in 1983 he couldn't even play a lead. That's kinda what I started with. So who knows... having faith and really practicing a lot can move you far in your guitar skills. |

I don't know about you, but songs like "Symbolic" or "Sacred Serenity" are pretty ambiguous. I am really not sure what they are about. |

| This album was one the first Death Metal albums that i've listened to. one of my friends who was a total death fan introduced me this album, and also gave me the lyrics, I think the most important point of this album is the lyrics. I worship Chuck Schuldiner's power to write lyrics, even more than his talent in playing guitar. my favorite songs on this album is Zero Tolerance. It's really nice! |

this album is a jewel, soo powerful, soo technic... wow what can I say?
one of my fav albums, Crystal Mountain is Amazing!!! |
|
|
|
| An absolutely magnificent album and also a very good review! Death never died. IMO they are the only band (fron what I've heard till now) who has not one weak album. One mediocre release. They worth to be called GODS.. |
|
|
|
| What can I say. Fun and thrashing album! |
|
|
|
| Chuck simply a genius, Crystal mountain brilliant |

You mean Magnum Opus?
Oh, no, of course not. I meant Opus Magnum. |
|
|
|
| Are you referring to the Hollenthon album? Because if not then you are wrong. But if you are it would make sense. |

Well, I was just actually messing with you meaning that Magnum Opus and Opus Magnum are the same. But are you saying that you disagree that this is Death's best album (that's what I meant by Opus Magnum)? |

|
|
| I think this is a great album, although I'm one of the very few that prefers "Individual Thought Patterns" over it. That album for me, is Chuck's magnum opus. Well that, and "Scream Bloody Gore". lol |
