'' is the fourth album released by
Death in 1991. It marked the beginning of a major stylistical change for Death. The actual sound of the album is much more technically accomplished and progressive than Death's previous strictly brutal efforts. The lyrics are now more introspective and meaningful as opposed to the
Gore based lyrics of the band's first two albums or the social commentary on
Spiritual Healing . This new style would be more and more prevalent on all following Death albums.
Bass player
Steve DiGiorgio left after the recording of this album (though he would later return to record ''
Individual Thought Patterns ''). He was replaced by
Skott Carino , who toured with the band in 1991-1992. Skott also recorded a few seconds of bass on Cosmic Sea, and the rest of the song (including the bass solo) was recorded by DiGiorgio.
This album was ranked number 82 on the October 2006 issue of
Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time.
