Sepultura

Roots

One of their best and sadly the last good one

Review Score:

(10/10)
This album was the masterpiece that brought in a lot new people to the Sepultribe and sadly lost alot of their old-school fans of their thrash/death metal roots. All in all I'd say this could be their best next to 'Arise'. Sadly it was their final album with Max, what with tensions growing between the bandmates and the recent murder of his stepson, Dana Wells, as Max would go on a few years later to create Soulfly, (and everything with Sepultura will go downhill from here as they bring in Derrick Green) which in many ways can be looked at as a continuation of what Sepultura was doing with this album, all the tribal metal, etc.
If you love Soulfly, I guarantee you will totally dig this one. It's very experimental in a way but Sepultura stay true and don't f--- around. "Look Away" actually features Mike Patton and Jonathan Davis, even though I don't hear him on the song, (Korn's last good cd came out in the same year as well) I think if they were to have made a "final album" type thing, this would definitely be the one to go out on. Best songs would be Attitude (the one that first introduced me to Sep.), Straighthate, Cut-Throat, Lookaway, and Dictatorsh*t.
Peace out, and keep rockin.

Dana's spirit lives on
