This album (along with Sound of Perseverance) are the quintessential Death albums. Enough said. This was the first high point for the band. SOP would be the second and highest. Although the songs are not as epic-like as on SOP, the songs are still deep and emotional, while still retaining that progressive sound Death is more noted for. Every song is a highlight and not once does one become bored with the music within.

Once the lead track Flattening of Emotions kicks into full gear, you'd better be prepared to take a beating. This is fucking INTENSE riff work and the vocals are just top notch. What really sends chills down your spine is when you've heard the amazing releases of Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy and realize this is the same band. The difference is unbelievable.

Suicide Machine is just as great. This is 100% perfect technical death/thrash. Every riff is memorable and heavy as hell.

Together as One and Secret Face. Lots of progression and great lead work. This is fast and slow and midpaced and out of control, all in one! Everything flows without flaw.

Lack Of Comprehension is easily the best track here, and one of the best songs Death has ever made. Why? This song represents great musicianship and emotion, still without going soft. The verse is full of emotion and a big strength in the song. HOLY SHIT ON A STICK IS THIS A FUCKING HEAVY AS ALL THAT IS HEAVY SONG!

See Through Dream is the second best track. It's just a full blown attack on the senses. One of the most memorable choruses in all of metal. That's gotta say alot for a death metal band. BEST LEAD SECTION! Melodic, but still kicks your ass in every single place.

Cosmic Sea is a strange instrumental. Dark and moody. This is something you wouldnt expect from your average death metal fare. Great musicianship and overall fun to listen to.

Vacant Planets closes the album and just murders you. Everyone is on top of their game. Guitars, vocals, bass, and drums are all insane. Nothing can stop this album. Nothing untl SOP came out. Hell, even still...

One problem... It's so short! Oh well, i really cannot complain.
