CRITIC REVIEWS
Death end their career on a really high note. This is easily one of the best final albums that I've heard come from metal.
Goddamn, do the instrumentals steal the show on this one! I've made it no secret that I'm a sucker for good instrumentation, and these guys certainly exceeded my expectations on that front for every single one of their albums, and this one is no exception. The drumming in particular, good god, it's fucking amazing. While I was just as amazed by the guitar work, the ... read more

FANTASTIC
I've had my ups with this record and I've had my downs, but in the end, I have to admit: The Sound of Perseverance really is a masterpiece, and if it were released by any other band, it might just be one of the best of its kind. I just think the rest of Death's discography (spare Leprosy and Spiritual Healing) is better than this admittedly terrific album.

Going out with a bang. I can't think of many artists whose last album was as good as this. Death's discography includes many amazing albums, with this being arguably one of, if not their best. I go back and forth with this and Symbolic, but they're both utterly outstanding pieces of work. One of my favourite albums ever made.
