Dante XXI - Sepultura

Advantages: Consistant greatness
Disadvantages: If you don't like metal, don't buy this

...Brazilian band Sepultura have brought us this great album. 'Roots' All the tracks are very heavy. (great stuff) This album is what introduced me to Sepultura and I love every bit of it. Each song gives out an incredible energy. Sepultura are obviously very talented. Just listen to this to find that one out for yourself. The Lyrics are very strong and persistant. This adds to it's greatness. I love the songs 'Cut-Throat' and 'Roots Bloody Roots'. But all the songs on the album are amazing in their own way. Every Sepultura fan should own this. Any first time listeners should also give it a shot. Your ears will love you for it.... Read review

...This incredible offering from Brazilian Death/Thrash/Tribal metalers Sepultura was their first album recorded outside their homeland Brazil. Arise is Sepultura’s fourth full-length album, and a superb one at that. The first track titled “Arise” starts off with a selection of strange, eerie sounds for 28 seconds, and then launches into good, heavy riffing. Max’s voice is angry as usual, although his lyrics are easier to make out in this album, as apposed to the previous three. “Arise” in my opinion is about the problems of wartime, the destruction of cities and the “obliteration of mankind”.

Advantages: Best Sepultura CD
Disadvantages: Nothing

...There are four classic sepultura albums, those being arise, beneath the remains, roots and chaos a.d.. For the metalheads the choice is arise or beneath the remains, for the trendies who just happened to come across sepultura or heard Jonathan davis from KORN was on the record it's roots. I like the kornish work of roots and although arise and beneath the remains are great cd's chaos a.d. is my personal favorite. Some of the all time sepultura classics are on this CD, including slave new world, refuse/resist, amen, propaganda, biotech is godzilla, clench fist, territory, and nomad. Sepulutura are great on this album, the political lyrics, the deep guitar-riffs of max, the great guitars by andreas kisser, and drums of igor cavalera (Brother of Max). This is where i feel sepultura reached thier musical hight and released an all time... Read review
