Death had progressed impressively from their crude death metal origins circa 'Scream Bloody Gore' and 'Leprosy' and by 1990 were moving in the same territory as stiffs like Obituary. Rick Rozz was replaced by a guy named James Murphy who was still skinny and unknown in 1990 and would later also make name for himself with Obituary, Cancer and Testament and some others as well. Murphys solos are a huge improvement as they could compete with Schuldiner with ease, making the interaction worthwhile to listen to. The guitar work on this album is most impressive. The riffs on "Spiritual Healing" are amazing, complex and original. Chuck and James deliver long rolling riffs that don't take a back seat to the vocals or drums on this album at almost all times.
