There's nothing like some good groovy death metal with plenty of hooks and no band's delivered the goods to me more than Obituary. Album after album, the band's done little to change their sound and they have zero reason to. They're the perfect example of not messing with perfection.

It's another thing though to not only keep delivering the excellent music the band does best, but to release a particularly fantastic one decades later that stands up as one of my favorite albums from the band. Just like the band's classics of the 90's, Obituary's self-titled is a riff machine with monstrous grooves.

It's those extra hooks in the songwriting that make this such a particularly great album, with it being full of some of the band's catchiest songs. The likes of End It Now, Kneel Before Me, Turned to Stone, Straight to Hell, and especially Ten Thousand Ways to Die instantly catch my ear.

I can always expect a great album from Obituary, but this is my favorite since Frozen in Time, if not World Demise.
