Almost sad, in a way.

It's not the smartest thing to do, but actually I think it's cool.

I don't think so.

Sad that such good bands don't play anymore, in this genre, genre is dead, quality to, just one moment in time, few bands, if I recall it was Daniel aka Souther Wind what suggested to me try this in old ms days

I am definetely not into tech deth, but shit! what is this masterpiece!?

"On the Shores of Ithaka" is one of the best death metal songs ever written.

Upon revisiting this I feel like the first half of the record doesn't always work for me, feels less inspired and even amateurish in some places (the production also didn't help) - but the latter half slays hard.

I have a similar opinion but I don't think I'd go so far as to call it amateurish. The entire album is inconsistent but there are masterful moments that burrow into your head and remain there for years without even needing to listen to them again.

This is a brilliant album, very technical guitar work with some great melodies, especially those riffs on Shores Of Ithaka, it's similar style to Symbolic and TSOP by Death.
The drumming is outstanding! very fast and complex, amazingly skillful, some of the best I've ever heard.

There is a lot of variety in the tempo here, almost Thrash in parts, with some slower sections, although some parts dragged a little too much, like Point of no return Pt 2 which had such a long pause midway through, and Dreams which has beautiful guitaring but is slow and gets a little bit boring in parts.

On the Shores Of Ithaka, Hunter/Killer and Let it Burn are my favourite songs here.

Yes I do hear similar melodies here to the Gothenburg sound.

It is indeed!
I've just discovered this masterpiece album of death metal - there are only a few feelings better than finding great metal songs for the first time

Just a couple of more votes... and then top 200?

Ok I've come to the conclusion that in terms of quality riffs, this album is the best in death metal, that is unless anyone can come up with an album for me that matches the same level of melody and technicality the riffs have on this album, Death Symbolic comes close imo.

Brilliant album. Fantastic production too.
