My first words which describes this album are that Sepultura changed music. This is not thrash metal album as for example Arise or Beneath the remains. There are an elements of dark, heavy melodies with atmosphere which Sepultura did never repeat.
Instead of very aggressive musical style Sepultura elected more attractive way where the songs sounds easier. The heaviest song is "Biotech is Godzilla" and it's the fastest too. For example song "Kaiowas" contains only acoustic guitars and drums. It's really atypical song by Sepultura. Another songs are about dark, heavy elements but not about extreme speed. Sepultura kept lyrics as well as before on previous albums. Although this album is known for a slower movement just here are also good enough songs. And popular enough.
For example "Refuse/Resist", "Territory", "Slave new world", "Propaganda", "Nomad" or "Clenched fist" are songs with strong elements, structure and atmosphere. Refuse/Resist is fantastic ornament at every concert of Sepultura too.
Melodies and style with which Sepultura came in this album are admirable.
It's matter of course that Chaos A.D. album will never be like Beneath the remains but I value it.
One thing is unchanged and it's Max's voice. His soul and music is still, always audible here in Chaos A.D. it couldn't be better because it's good enough and attractive enough and heavy enough. Chaos A.D. is an album which is interesting for itself, in it's own way.
It doesn't matter that it's not fast it does matter that it's Sepultura.
