I for one think that Green is Forbidden's best work. Nearly every song on there is distinct, tuneful, but also mightily aggressive. And I love the production, which is the product of people who can play tremendously well but have realised that not everything needs to be as tight as a gnats arse to be heavy - it's loose, raw, and grooves in all the right places. As much as I like TITF, the production is a touch too clean and stiff. I wish more bands took note of the Green style of production where it sounds like a cohesive band, not just 4 or 5 individuals recording separate parts.
BTW, am I the only one who thinks the guitar tone on Green is unusual? It's harsh, sort of heading towards muddy, and shouldn't work but somehow does. The only comparison I can make is some of Kurt Ballou's tones with Converge (and also present on UYHS-era Cave In).
I also agree with the praise for his Russ-ness. I think it's on Distortion that his voice really comes together, and by the time of Green his vocals are simply astonishingly and he's even loosened up enough to inject some manic humour into proceedings.
And a few bands sets on VHS... Vio-Lence, Forbidden and Legacy...
