"Beneath The Remains" is my fave Sepultura album, followed by "Arise". I never saw them on the BTR tour but saw them on the Arise tour and the Chaos AD tour, by which point I felt they'd lost some of their aggression. In fact Fear Factory (who supported them while pushing their debut) blew them off stage.

I'm amazed that a band can grow out of playing thrash, finally realise they're not very good at it, and get worse by playing tribal jungle nincompoopery. Dear me.

I do love Beneath the Remains and Arise but agree that pretty much everything else they've done is rubbish. I think Schizophrenia could have been decent if it weren't so rough. I'm assuming James rates Morbid Visions as their best but I just can't listen to it: when a band can't even be ringed tuning their guitars I'm not going to waste my time listening to them.

Morbid Visions is one of my favourites. But Bestial Devastations is better. Schizophrenia is my favourite thrash album by them because the songs on there are top. The quality isnt great but the music is.

I hate the drum sound on the first two albums as well. Fuck knows what's going on - I don't know my arse from my elbow when it comes to drums - but it sounds as if Igor was using bongos.

I still really love Bestial Devastation/Morbid Visions, although I think my current favourite is Schizophrenia... so what if it's "rough"?!

P.S. I really like the Schizo drums - you don't hear roto toms like that these days!

Schizophrenias pre-mixed stuff is a lot better quality. Its the guitar sound that ruined what they had. they EQed them so its kinda muddy and didnt have them panned enough.

It makes it difficult to listen to? Generally speaking, I can't listen to an album if it sounds like they had a giraffe working the desk when recording it.

They remastered those early death metal EPs, didn't get much better.

Remastering wont change the quality.

Fair enough if you want thrash that sounds like Britney Spears. I don't have a problem with those production jobs, I can hear everything well enough and I prefer their sound to a lot of modern releases which lack identity.

I've got them and, yeah, they still sound like someone's recorded a cat killing a pigeon. I get what James is saying but I really have no time for rougher Thrash. I used to try to listen to stuff like In the Sign of Evil but then decided you're better off with Agent Orange. Better musicianship, better production, better songs, better better.
