sepultura beneath the remains lp

here i go again. no comments and i'm still doing this. this was the second sepultura album i heard after morbid visions. this album is suposed to be a thrash classic. but the first time i heard it i was disapointed. i've grown to actually enjoy it and mosh and headbang along to it. but at first i just felt it was too clean. too polished. now i really don't like clean production. i like it raw. scott burns produced it which gives you an idea of how the production sounds. over time i grew to like the production of this and arrize but when i first listened to it i thought (and still do a little) that they traded energy for complexity and a good production. max's voice no longer rasped like i loved. he has a kind of death/thrash thing going on. the other musicians are tight and they have great riffs. but i prefer morbid visions' rawness over this. which actually leads into another point. as we all know roots is considdered a sellout album by the metal comunity. i won't go into why or anything. now i know i'm gonna be killed for this but doesn't anyone kind of see this album as selling out? thrash waws the thing back in 89. they were previously much more raw than this. i tend to think they soffened the sound a little. just my opinion. in conclusion this album is a grower unless you love slickly produced thrash. then it's a classic. time to pull out morbid visions and thrash my head off!
