*sigh* Sepultura stumbles without Max.......2006-07-20

This just doesn't sound like Sepultura. Derrick Green brought in too much hardcore/punk influence on Sepultura's signature sound. The vocals are irritating. Derrick can't play guitar, which makes them les heavy. And while the guitarist still plays solos,they are a lot less abundant and the overabundant punk influence kills his playing and makes it simple. The tribal themes aren't used the same way anymore. The rhythm section also suffers. Get the Max stuff first. The only good Derrick album is Dante. This Cd is a big disappointment. BRING BACK MAX!

Sepultura = Brasil.......2006-05-21

its quite obvious that most of the people who gave negative comments about sepultura dont really know the band. First they are from brasil. Their STYLE of music is completely different from American Metal. So before u go bashing saying that against is the worst album u have to listen to it in a different perspective. Remember its NOT AMERICAN lol, even though they have an american vocalist, the band kept to its roots

Sepultura's worst attempt........2006-03-07

This has to be one of the worst albums I have ever heard. I got this album for my birthday as I was and still am a keen listener of metal and heavy metal music. I have albums of Metallica,Queens of the Stone Age, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed that I like, but Sepultura's Against is a joke. The first track seems promissing with some cool guitar riffs and a solid heavy rythm. Afterwards, it just goes downhill. Every song seemed to mimic the next, with its repetative guitar solos and awful vocals from Derrick 'The D!*$' Green. Sepultura were a much better band with Max Cavalera and now the lead singer sounds like he has no teeth. All of my friends (who are metal heads) agree with me 100% that this is Sepultura's WORST album. Totally dreadful. After 10 minutes of flicking through each song, I had to stop it, take it out and throw it out the window. My advice: AVOID.

Politics Aside, It's Really Good.......2006-01-24

The proof has to be in the end product. Personally, I don't care how or why Max was kicked out. In so many cases, a new singer means trouble. The band does not sound the same anymore. Well, in this case, Sepultura still sound like Sepultura. Great choice. Also, while this album is heavier in many ways, they have not abandoned their great tribal rhythm backbone. This album is heavy and memorable.

Not half bad.......2005-10-17

Sepultura's first album with Derrick Green on vocals is actually a pretty good and sufficient follow-up to 1996's "Roots." It's plenty creative, because tracks like "Tribus" and "T3rcermillennium" are instrumentals which explore the band's Brazilian roots (with foreign instruments like rattles, whistles, and tribal drums). Plus, "Kamaitachi" is an Asian flavored track with Japanese percussion. But, since this record incorporated some groove metal and hardcore punk influence, there are still plenty of catchy, heavy, groovy guitar riffs, here (especially on songs like the title track, "Choke," and "Drowned Out"). "Floaters In Mud," which features some great drumming by Igor, and "Hatred Aside" (a song with Jason Newsted on guitar and vocals) are two other standout tracks. Derrick's vocals may be somewhat one-dimensional, and no one can replace Max, but Derrick's yelling is still quite powerful. The bottom line is "Against" won't go down in the history books as being a classic, rip-roaring, thrash-metal masterpiece, but if you give this album a shot, you'll realize it isn't half bad. Recommended for the hardcore Sepultura fan.
