A Fresh Start

Review Score: (8/10)
With this album, Sepultura branched out into new Territory... and they were successful. However, I find that the energy of Sepultura and the conviction behind Max's barkings that drive their other works is somewhat absent, except in the live tracks at the end (especially Inner Self). If you are a loyal fan, then get it anyway, you'll enjoy it. If you're just curious about Sepultura, then it depends: (1) Arise is clean and fast yet "melodious" (2) Roots is not a speed album, but it is a creative masterpiece, extending and refining the new "tribal" elements they bring to Chaos AD, particularly the percussion (3) If you want raw speed and power, find a live album. Half of Blood-Rooted is tired junk that sounds like they are trying to get over with their record contract, but the other half is a relentless wall of noise.
