Your pick out of these 4?

I dig 'em all, but I have to pick Symbolic. Crystal Mountain is one of the finest metal songs in my view.

The only Death albums I have heard are The Sound of Perseverance, Symbolic and Scream Bloody Gore, but The Sound of Perseverance is the only one I happily return to occasionally, though Symbolic also has awesome moments. I think I even prefer their cover of Painkiller over the original by Priest.

Crystal Mountain could very well be my favourite of the songs I've heard yeah
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

It comes down to Symbolic vs. The Sound of Perseverance, and I give the edge to Sound.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

TSOP.  But ITP is very very close behind.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Nailed it. It's always a tough call between Symbolic and Sound, but I generally lean towards the latter album personally. They're both two of the finest metal albums ever made though! :hefdaddy
