Something tells me he'll be incommunicado and doesn't even remember he's in this thread. You there, Thelonious Monkey?

You just gotta know how to talk to him...

Sepultura - Morbid Visions
This album has always reminded me of Slayer’s Hell Awaits. Although Sepultura’s debut isn’t as good, in both cases you really get a sense of the fun these guys were having, just loving playing metal before they’ve had time to get on each other’s nerves and become jaded about the scene and record companies trying to rip them off. Also every early Sepultura album is a step on the way to peak Sepultura, ie Chaos AD.
7/10

kinda forgot about reviewing this week but i don't have a ton to say about this one anyway. it's a solid Sepultura album, sure. but like c'mon, this serves as an ok intro to what they go onto make and not much more than a solid death thrash effort. i'll stick with their next 4 albums, thanks.

Yo Batty! Wake the fuck up!

It's Wednesday, and no new album? Get your shit together man! What's next?

gonna ditto on what TH said. except i felt the album started strong. there was something there from the get, and the vocals felt really powerful. however, as things progressed, it didn’t feel like they took that momentum and did anything with it. i can’t say i came into this expecting something groundbreaking and life changing, but variety is the spice of life, and this lacked it. not a bad band, and a track at a time i would say i enjoyed it. but sitting down and listening to the whole thing is a task and i frequently found my mind wandering.

2.5/5

That might be Alzheimers.

What was I saying? I think my mind wandered: come back here, you!
That might be Alzheimers.

Or it might be Alzheimers.
Maybe even Alzheimers.
I'm getting up for school now, ma! Jeez!
