GET THIS NOW!!!.
Andreas Kisser's guitar solo's are mind blowing and Igor Cavelera's drumming is absolutely stunning he is one of the best drummers in heavy metal music history, even though Sepultura gradually became a better band through out the years their earlier stuff indicated the raw talent and high energy that these guys had, they could easily blow away any other thrash metal group with their fast and aggressive riffs and brutal music. Schizophrenia has got to be one of the best albums to come out of the 80's metal scene. Troops of doom, Escape to the void and Screams behind the shadows are just the top of the line this album has plenty of classic thrash metal songs, GET THIS NOW!!. .

Great CD
I finally got this cd, I have been looking for this CD for awhile now, a great by well worth it.


not as primative as one might think... pretty damn good
I later found out that they had 2 previous albums, but I wasn't interested at the time. I started listening to Sepultura when Beneath The Remains first came out, in '89. with each album after B. T. R. there was slight improvement and maturity. Sepultura evolved with Arise, and even more so with Chaos AD, and finally with Roots. after 15 years of being a Sepultura fan, I finally decided to go back to the beginning and venture into the pre-Beneath The Remains material. I was pleasantly surprised with Schizophrenia. don't get me wrong, it is definitely raw, and primative compared to B. T. R. , but on Schizophrenia they were still a pretty tight and solid thrash metal band. of course each album after that was an improvement on the previous one, but think of Schizophrenia as the Slayer's Hell Awaits, or Anthrax's Spreading The Disease, or Metallica's Ride The Lightning. it is simply put, the prequel to their upcoming masterpiece. the best songs are definitely the new version of Troops Of Doom, and Escape From The Void. .


STRAIGHT OUTTA THE JUNGLE BABY!
It kinda pisses me off that they don't get much credit, everyone knows the awesomeness of BTR (which I love), Arise, and Chaos AD but I think more people need to check out the early releases. Well after listening to this album I can tell ya one thing's for sure, Brazilians know how to thrash! But is this really thrash or death metal? Honestly who the hell cares because if you're a true metalhead you will inevitably be headbanging to this in no time! (watch out for whiplash though)

You see it's the early era Sepultura albums that are my favorite, they are simply the rawest, dirtiest, and most evil. Oh yeah and I'm sorry but I thought Roots SUCKED! Yep I said it, so sue me. Hey I'm all up for experimentation but I just didn't like it in that case.

Anyway this is where Andreas Kisser comes in and shows his stuff. Does he kick ass? HELL YEAH! The entire album is a riff machine churning out a myriad of crazy guitar licks. I mean listen to "From the Past Comes the Storms", the immortal instrumental "Inquisition Symphony" (one of the greatest metal instrumentals EVER) and "Septic Schizo" and you'll surely see what I'm raving about, unless you're a nu-metal queer or something. The vocals are straight out of hell with Max doing mostly a death metal growl and yell but there is a little bit of clean vocals here and there.

The only problem I see with the album is the muddy production which for once does affect the listening experience for me (usually I really don't give a sh*t), there's pretty much no bass but overall it's not that bad. However, I have the original pressing of the CD so perhaps it's a tad better on the remaster.

Even if you like later Sep better albums (which is understandable), you have to give these guys for really trying to make it while nestled deep out there in Jungleland and only being 18! My recommendation- get all Sep albums up to Chaos AD, get some Kreator, Possessed, Celtic Frost, Early Slayer, etc for more extreme thrash! Well that's my opinion, LATER.
