If you ever thought mighty DEATH were not able to surpass the “Human” album, then you might be surprised quite a bit when “Individual Thought Patterns” slapped on your face. No doubt they did! For this album Mr. Schuldiner surrounded himself by the best musicians the scene offered at the time and they certainly did what they were expected to and beyond. This album took Metal to unexpected levels of depth, perfection and musical excellence. There is not a single loose end throughout the listening of natural-born-classics like ‘Overactive Imagination’, ‘Jealousy’, ‘Nothing Is Everything’ and everyone’s favorite ‘The Philosopher’. I dare to say albums like this and its predeccesor inspired a whole lot of musicians to actually work harder and improve their skills and that is how many other gems of technical Death Metal were released afterwards. It might be a good idea to revisit the past to find out where it all started for technical extreme Metal . This new edition of the album has been remastered, comes housed in a limited edition digipak with booklet, new layout and lyrics. Get it at www.centurymedia.com
