 The beauty of 'Human' lies precisely in its imperfections.

 Sometimes it feels like listening to a tribute band and not real Death.

The reviewer venerates the original 1991 'Human' album by Death as a pinnacle of Death Metal. However, they criticize the 2011 20th Anniversary remixed edition for losing the raw, imperfect charm that defined the original's sound, despite improved clarity. The remix feels overly polished, distancing the listener from the true essence of the classic album. Additional content like demos and instrumentals also suffers from this excessive cleanliness. Explore the legendary 'Human' album and decide for yourself – original raw power or polished remix?
