Free Music Notes for Roots
Free Music Review: Under a pale grey sky, we shall..................SELL OUT!!!!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
Sep. broke into the mainstream with Beneath and Arise. I though Chaos would end up being a misstep. WRONG!!!
Good title track........the rest sucks.
With Seps. new found fame they started touring with bigger name bands and they obviously took the WRONG advice from these bands. They abandoned their speed and brutality for what?
Jungle music?
Garbage?
All of the above? Yes.
Boring, unlistenable, unmemorable.
Skip this musical turd and go with Beneath or Arise.
Free Music Review: The birth of Soulfly....right here....and a new sound
Hit: 4 Stars
You can see the birth of Soulfly on Roots...at the time a pioneering CD where the fast slowed down, and tuned down...to create a crushing new sound. Highly recomended, along with Skinlab...SkinnedAlive the live Cd that's new is incredible!Skinned Alive
Free Music Review: Is this Sepultura or Soulfly
Hit: 2 Stars
Ok, first of all...is this soulfly or Sepultura. All the tracks on this album sound like a heavy Soulfly. Sepultura has now totally lost their edge with the off-time thrash/death metal that their REAL roots were, what made one of the top metal acts of the 80s and 90s. This album all the makings of a nu-metal(Soulfly) album. Very basic riffs, very stupid lyrics, and very basic jams in the songs. The complexity of Igor's drumming, Andreas' guitar and riffing and Max's growling has all left for nu-metal styles. Igor's playing sounds as simple as Lars Ulrich, Andreas' playing is no longer complex, he sounds we came out of Soulfly with the basic riffs. Max yells at the top of his lungs and no longer has the growl he is known for. The album even has DJ scratching and Jonathan Davis from Korn on the track "Lookaway". You can't any more nu-metal than having Jonathan Davis cameo on a track.
THis album is major disappointment for any one who knows the REAL Sepultura, the pre-"Chaos AD" Sepultura.
Free Music Review: a metal classic
Hit: 4 Stars
I believe this was one of the best metal album of the 90's. Sepultura are much more influential the they are given credit. Finally there was a band that used the heavy death metal sound with lyrics with actual meaning rather than just relying on shock value. I'm not saying the lyrics were splitting the atom but they were much more mature than what death/black metal had been doing for the last 10 years. The funny thing is when I first heard Roots I did not realize they were the same band that I had read about in the mid 80's who were said to have a sound similar to the great Celtic Frost. If you love heavy music and have not listened to Sepultura than buy this cd.Free Music Review: Sepultura!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I grew up on thrash metal back in the 80's and no matter how much I tried I could not get into the older Sepultura albums, I know they're classics but I find them generic and mediocre. So that leads me to say Roots and Chaos A.D. in my opinion, are the best Sepultura albums. They're both innovative and experimental..world music meets metal...pure genius. Thick as a brick guitars, pounding drums and brutal vocals...and I love the tribal beats mixed in as well. The only downfall about these two great albums is it may be responsible for giving birth to Nu-Metal which I detest.
