Individual Thought Patterns is the fifth album by the death metal band Death, released in 1993.
Featured are founder, vocalist, and guitarist, Chuck Schuldiner ,guitarist Andy Larocque, drummer Gene Hoglan and bassist Steve DiGiorgio.
Musically the album continues to expand on the technical, progressive style that began with Human, incorporating elements usually associated with free jazz. Just as adventurous are Schuldiner's lyrics which explore human facets including critiques of social norms, constructs and perceptions.
This album contains the Death track "The Philosopher", for which a music video was made that received airplay on MTV and was even reviewed - and comically panned - by Beavis & Butthead, where the duo mistake the boy in the video for Jeremy from the Pearl Jam video and mock Schuldiner's vocals. According to Metal-Rules.com, the album is the 100th greatest heavy metal album of all time,[3] as well as the 11th greatest extreme metal album of all time.[4] The album is included in Guitar Player Magazine's Metal Guitar albums Top 20
The album was reissued and remixed by Relapse Records in October 2011.
