Exclaim! (7/10) [5]

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic declared that the EP "delivers enough wattage to power the East Coast through a category five hurricane.", and declared Satan's Satyrs song "Succubus" was a highlight that "grooves as hard as it spanks." [4] Brayden Turenne of Exclaim! noted that "despite its power" the song "Three Sisters" by Windhand "can feel over-long toward the end" noting that it does not change much from how it initially starts.

Human is the fourth studio album by American death metal band Death, released on October 22, 1991, by Relativity Records. The album marked the beginning of a major stylistic change for Death, being more technically complex and progressive than the band's previous efforts. The lyrics are more introspective when compared to the gore-based lyrics of Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy or the social commentary on Spiritual Healing. This new style would continue to evolve on all following Death albums. This is the only album to feature Cynic members Paul Masvidal on guitars and Sean Reinert on drums, both only 20 at that time, and the first to feature bassist Steve DiGiorgio.
