Track listing Jason Arnopp of Kerrang! in his positive review considered Individual Thought Patterns the band's best album since Leprosy from 1988, attributing it in parts to band leader Chuck Schuldiner's choice of personnel.
The album was reissued and remixed by Relapse Records in October 2011.Ĭritical reception Professional ratings Review scores The album is included in Guitar Player Magazine 's Metal Guitar albums top 20. This album contains the track "The Philosopher", for which a music video was made that received airplay on MTV and was even featured on, and comically panned by, Beavis and Butt-Head where the duo mistake the boy in the video for " Jeremy" from the Pearl Jam video and mock Schuldiner's vocals. In a 2021 interview, LaRocque would downplay this account, saying that he did prepare multiple ideas and alternate melody lines for each solo. LaRocque would then arrive at the studio without much preparation, and largely improvised the solos, impressing everyone. ĭiGiorgio recalled working with LaRocque as a notable experience: Schuldiner only wanted LaRocque to play solo sections, so he only sent LaRocque the few bars of the songs where the solo would be. Manager Eric Greif described the album as "an angry record, angry lyrically", attributing it to his conflict with Schuldiner at the time. It is the only album by the band to feature guitarist Andy LaRocque, the first to feature drummer Gene Hoglan and the second and last to feature bassist Steve DiGiorgio. Individual Thought Patterns is the fifth studio album by American death metal band Death, released on June 22, 1993, by Relativity Records.
