THE REVIEW
The year was 1987 and Sepultura, after their dreadful debut album 'Morbid Vision', released their second work, which is essentially their first true sonic testimony.
Here Sepultura try to imitate Slayer by making a thrash metal album, but since they are technically light years behind, the result is disheartening. Moreover, the album is terribly produced. Max Cavalera’s voice is more or less the same as always, that is, the usual growl. The songs all sound somewhat similar, Max always sings the same way, occasionally there’s a decent solo but nothing special.
The only song worth mentioning is the instrumental The Abyss made with acoustic guitars. Inquisition Symphony is another instrumental track ripped off from Metallica. Specifically from Cliff Burton’s instrumental songs from the first four albums. Obviously, the result is light years behind. The other songs, as already mentioned, are a miserable attempt to mimic Slayer but singing in growl.
Do not buy this album at all.

Summary by Bot
Sepultura's second album, Schizophrenia, is criticized for its poor production and weak attempts at Slayer-style thrash metal. Max Cavalera's vocals are monotonous, and most songs sound similar. Only a couple of instrumental tracks stand out, but even they fall short compared to Metallica's work. Overall, the album is not recommended.Tracklist Lyrics Videos

Schizophrenia was undoubtedly one of Sepultura's crucial albums, even though their consecration came later.
Only get it if you’re a true old-school metalhead, a fan of ’80s death and thrash.
