For old Death fans, hard to bite through, for the more open-minded fans an amazingly stunning album. ‘Human’ shows superb technical metal which could only come from a man such as Chuck Schuldiner, who tragically died in the year 2001 in the battle against cancer. This release features two Cynic members, Paul Masvidal (guitars) and Sean Reinert (drums) plus Sadus’ fretless bass master Steve DiGiorgio that fill up the empty spots for Terry Butler, Bill Andrews and James Murphy from the previous ‘Spiritual Healing’ album. Chuck and co change the band’s sound, beginning the journey with an adjustment in vocals which seem to be a lot harder to ‘release’ and require more focus for the vocalist/guitarist than before. Furthermore, progression is the keyword which would describe all the songs especially ‘Cosmic sea’, an amazing (instrumental!) track that could’ve never found it’s place on an older album. Chuck’s guitar solo’s are still as fluent as ever, now backed up by a far more technical guitarist than James Murphy (Paul), the ever-present bass play which manages to keep surprising the listener every each time and also Reinert’s drumming technique which proves to also be far more superior compared to his predecessor. ‘Human’ explores every inch of the human mind as complicated as it can get. The lyrics and music definitely require some time to adjust to (or get to appreciate) but will eventually become a ‘Death’ normality.
