Individual Thought Patterns — 1993

The hinge album where Chuck Schuldiner's songwriting first outpaced the band's technicality, adding jazz-inflected solos and unusual time signatures without losing the aggression. Complex and acclaimed. The turn toward the progressive years. Not the headline release, but a genuine highlight.

On vinyl: '90s pressings are hit-and-miss on quality; a modern reissue is often the safer choice.
