Sepultura - Arise mp3 album

Really senseless second LP... why waste the audiophile 180g vinyl format for semi-products as shitty sounding writing sessions?! Coupon with additional mp3 bonus tracks will be better. And on vinyl only regular Arise album. Sound is good, but not amazing.

Does anyone have any comments on the quality of the pressing?

I had one and sold it as soon as I found the first press. they added bass in the mastering for the new one and it affects the album, it sounds darker and the guitars lost its brightness because of that.

just like the version you fell in love with on cd back in 1991 but with larger than life art now for vinyl OH YEAH!! and some extra goodies on the other lp

Agree with the sentiments here. Nice sounding remaster with some great bonus cuts giving you a taste of how these songs took shape and progressed, plus a few live clips. Good stuff.

Pretty nice reissue with great sound & pressing! I Definitely recommend it :)

This remastered reissue sounds great but I wish the mix volume was a bit higher. I seriously have to crank this half way on my amp to get the volume I have a quarter of the way up with my original Rock In Rio rough mix brasilian pressing. Still well worth getting this classic again for the demos, alternate takes and the live versions. Motorhead Orgasmatron's cover by Sepultura on vinyl is a must!

Damn this newly remastered vinyl of “Arise” sounds great! Nice thick gatefold just like the “Chaos A.D.” and “Roots” vinyl reissues that came out last year. Has a bunch of bonus tracks on the second LP also which are awesome to have especially on wax. I’m so glad I finally own this classic Death/Thrash masterpiece on vinyl.

The Re-Issues all have blurry lo-res Covers. Always go for the orignal pressing.

absolutely true , dont trust later reissues . This is the real deal !

I just won a Japanese cd from a company called Apollon, does anyone else have this?

Brilliant pressing, an absolute must-have. Remarkable clarity, punch and instrument separation. Use this to show off your system.

A must have for any thrash metal fan on this planet. Away from their previous or later albums, which are respectable. Also, this is one of the best Scott Burns' works in the studio.

One of the greatest trash metal albums out there. This is Seputtura at their best. Desperate Cry and Dead Embryonic Cells will have you turning the volume up and Arise will blow you away. My Favourite Sepultura album by far.

i agree to the previous comments. this version is a fail. better on cd that i also have. distorted on part of "Desperate Cry" and "Altered State" i keep on fixing my TT and re-align my stylus but still distorted. I like the album so I give it 5 star though. my other lp's playing good.

I strongly recommend finding a copy of the original Dutch pressing, the sound quality is astoundingly good.

Couldn't agree more. It also doesn't sound very good. It sounds better from CD.

Arise is the point of equilibrium in Sepultura career. Highest peak of death/thrash metal sounds of the band, it is also the beginning of a deep research of Brazilian tribal atmospheres and rhythms. The result is a masterpiece, evil as Slayer thrash metal, muddy as Obituary death metal, dirty as Amebix crust punk, spiritual as a dark tribal rite. Roadrunner label had big expectations of the band so the album was recorded at Morrisound Recordings in Tampa (it was the first time Sepultura recorded an album outside Brazil), one of the epicenters of death metal revolution. Arise contributed to the revolution with an innovative sound, far from American, English and Swedish ones. Arise is dusty as hands digging in the earth, in search of roots, far from a surface dominated by apocalyptic visions. A riot act against an unfair and violent reality.

This is, by far, the best review i ever read about this HELL of a record....KUDOS!

pixelmania. really ugly artwork. looks like a bootleg. i regret buying this.
