Sepultura Is One of the Better Slayer Babies
I really like some of these songs. The opening track is killer. I love the songwriting, but in the same way that I like listening the Monkeys. I really like the song Propaganda too. However, since the beginning Sepultura suffered from an originality problem. This is supposed to be chaos A.D., but there is nothing chaotic about it. That is, they are doing what has been done before them. However, in this case hoards of bands were doing the Slayer sound. In fact, Slayer even used terminology for it, “Slayer Babies.” That is there is very little difference between this and the band Slayer. This album is slightly different though. It is a little bit more stompy than Sepultura’s previous efforts, but that just makes them more like Pantera. And, even Pantera was criticized for being a copy cat band. In the end though, I find the album Chaos A.D. to be a good listen. Almost all the tracks are good. If someone put this on for me in the player, I’d certainly enjoy it. I mean hell. It’s simple music, essentially punk blues, yet every once in a while it is fun to pull out. At this point, I think the best part about Chaos A.D. is that I could use it to help teach someone guitar. Why? Because it is a little slower than Slayer, and the lead guitar work is a great place for someone to start if he or she is interested in playing metal.
