You only download "albums" for free on your birthday?

I download probably more than the average person, but I buy them either on vinyl or CD when I'm at a record shop.

I may be weird, but I like all of Death's albums equally. There's a lot of good things to say about each record.

Oh I can definitely see liking every Death record. But Human is just a kicked out ankle below ITP in intensity.

For me, having Paul Masvidal on the record and Steve DiGiorgio restraining his bass playing make a lot of difference.
That and Sean Reinert's drumming on Secret Face and See Through Dreams.
