Individual Thought Patterns is the fifth album by Death, released in 1993.

Stylistically, the album continues to expand on the technical, progressive style that began with Human, and considerably more jazzy as well. More so than any other Death album, Chuck shared solos with his second guitarist, Andy LaRocque. It is included in Guitar Player Magazine's Metal Guitar albums Top 20. The album is also the first of two Death albums to feature renowned drummer Gene Hoglan, and the last to feature fretless bassist Steve DiGiorgio.

This album contains Death's best known song, The Philosopher, which featured a music video that received airplay on MTV and was even reviewed by Beavis & Butthead. According to Metal-Rules.com, it is the 100th greatest heavy metal album of all time. [1] Also according to Metal-Rules, it is the 11th greatest extreme metal album of all time. [2]

As of 2002, the album has sold over 66,000 copies in the United States.^[1]
