this album is another great purchase from the Sepultura maelstrom. instead of whipping by, devouring everything in it's scorched path a la 'beneath the remains' and 'arise', sepultura actually took time to 'take prisoners' on this album. but only to torture them later. don't be deceived, this is another punishing album from Sep, and it boasts their best production to date, in my opinion. this album does 'annihilate' like the arise-and-earlier-era albums, it just takes the time to take solice in your pain as it keeps kicking you in your face....over and over again. 4.25 out of 5. excellent thrash, buy it.
Chaos A.D. rocks from beginning to end.Before Roots they had a great talent from Max,Igor and the rest of the best brazilian metal band ever.Early Sepultura is interesting.Their lyrics has a raw political cutting edge that slits your throat while you're listening to them.As the drum beat hits on the side of your head.This was before Roots,Soulfly or the new Sepultura.When the metal getting grunged out of the airwaves and got more militant.Sepultura rightly takes their place along side with Slayer,Kreator,Pantera,Lamb of God and etc. in the True Metal Gods hall of Fame.
This was the first Sepultura album I fell in love with. From the opening percussion salvo on "Refuse/Resist" it is impossible not to unleash that energy lying dormant inside you. "Slave New World", and "Propaganda" are battle cries for the age we live in. The instrumental Kiowa retains intensity melded with beauty. Their cover of New Model Army's "The Hunt" is excellent. And if you let it spin past the final track you will be both disturbed and amused to hear the recording of maniacal laughter that I assume was added in later. Enjoy.
Great cd
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Musicianship on top form here. Excellent songs, no filler here, all winners. On this album Sepultura went down but with an interesting brutality at the same time. Can't go wrong with this!!
