 "Beyond Grind, beyond any categorization; without schemes. Irreverent and heretical; in absolute interpretative freedom."

 "Three tight minutes with compressed, crushing guitar sounds; in the central part of the song, they slow down the furious race incorporating even more unhealthy and oppressive execution timings."

 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?

 An album more of the gut than the head; which brings Steve closer to the dirty and disjointed sound of the very first Dream Syndicate.

 Forty-five minutes to listen to in apnea, immersed in a series of tracks that overflow with strength, anger, noise.

 Intensity through the roof, starting with the cover image captured at one of their formidable concerts.

 An electric shock with a deadly sound impact; exaggerated, grumpy, and oblique.

 For yours truly, the crazy trio, led by the equally crazy (even more, even more!!) Les Claypool, represents absolute love, the number ONE in music.

 With their crazy musical approach, which is not easy to assimilate it is good to remember, they have from the beginning carved bizarre furrows, transporting the listener into a never-ending vertigo of sonic oddities.

 A few hours of recording and the feral feast is served.

 Lee’s asphyxiating growl to “embroider” it all; “Understanding” lasts SEVEN seconds (filthy, I add).
