Don't think about Max
Derrick is a great vocalist, but don't have the power or the charisma that Max have. If you listen to Against, don't think about Max on the vocals. Beside that, Against has many great songs, with some fillers. Sepultura incorporate a hardcore sound in their music this time, and that's cool. Don't expect the pure thrash metal of Arise, or the heaviness of Roots, but Against have high moments like the title track, Rumours and Floaters in mud. If you open your mind, you can find a brand new heavy band.


please bring max back
I can not believe what happened to this album. I have been a sepultura fan since morbid visions. there previous album roots was so good. I do not like derrick green. The lyrics are not so good, and the drums and the bass and everything is not great at all. It has seem that the music has turned into pop metal.


*sigh* Sepultura stumbles without Max
Derrick Green brought in too much hardcore/punk influence on Sepultura's signature sound. This just doesn't sound like Sepultura. 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's worst attempt.
I got this album for my birthday as I was and still am a keen listener of metal and heavy metal music. This has to be one of the worst albums I have ever heard. 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
Personally, I don't care how or why Max was kicked out. The proof has to be in the end product. 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. .
