Individual Thought Patterns is the fifth studio album by American death metal band Death, released on June 22, 1993, by Relativity Records. It is the only album by the band to feature guitarist Andy LaRocque, the first to feature drummer Gene Hoglan and the second and last to feature bassist Steve DiGiorgio. The album expands upon the technical death metal of the band's previous album, Human, and has been described as "one of the genre's most forward-thinking pieces," by Invisible Oranges.
The album has received both contemporary and retrospective acclaim, and contains the track "The Philosopher", for which a music video was made that received significant airplay on MTV.
