yeah Arise was basically BTR with the more extreme edges sanded off, essentially

I expect most people who have BTR or Chaos AD as their #1 have Arise as their #2 album?

I could never get into Arise. Always preferred BTR by far.

^it is! kind of hilarious to me how they started out as the second-wave of nu-metal and are now just basically traditional metal with elements of thrash and other stuff, with little to no nu-metal left.
listening to Chaos now. "Territory" fuckin rules.

lots of economical riffs all over this thing. one thing that I think makes me like this better than other purveyors of this style is that other groove/post-thrash act didn't create atmospheres, they just kinda stuck staccato riffs together and hoped for the best.
still not better than Beneath though, by a long shot, but i enjoy it.

It's crazy that they have almost twice as many albums with Derrick Green (10) as with Max (6), and some of them are even kinda good, but nobody's favorite Sepultura album is a Derrick album.

at least 3 or 4 of them are really quite good.
i'm sure there's someone out there who thinks Against is the best, but they probably aren't into thrash.
