What's left to say about Sepultura? That it's probably the best selling third world band ever? That they're going facedown to the ground since the leaving of Max "I am the Soulfly-Ego" Cavalera? "Chaos A.D." went golden and "Roots" went double gold in Holland (trust me, that's a good thing). That the difference between their first and last records is so huge that even the development of a butterfly contains more radical changes? That "Roots" was the first piece of metal I bought? Nah, I think the band-name speaks for itself. The style on this first piece of Sepultura is totally different from "Roots". They started as a full-on death metal band, finding their roots on "Beneath The Remains' (1989) and re-discovered 'em in 1991, with the release of "Arise". And then, five years later, one of the finest works of the 90's is released.

Roots was Max Cavalera's last album with Sepultura before his departure, and he did not exactly go out with a bang. The predecessor to Roots, Chaos A.D., saw the band move away from thrash and towards a simpler, moderately-paced death metal sound that, while differing from their previous material, showed promise. Roots takes this stylistic change further, abandoning thrash-inspired death for death-inspired nu metal. Truthfully, this is largely a nu metal album punctuated by Max Cavalera's recognizable growls, Igor's trademark drumming, and some traditional Brazilian instrumentation provided by Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown and the native Xavante tribe. The genesis of Soulfly is here, and is not entirely welcome.

Songs is very hard to feel protest the world potician. Sepultura is rare band because of mentioning the social problems. Roots album is he one who shows this way of sepultura.

This album is completely and utterly overrated. In my opinion it is just too long and the amount of filler material here is extraordinary.
...However, the riffs are fucking glorious (when not overused) and Cavalera's voice is as threatening as ever. Also, the atmosphere in general is gargantuan. So yeah, whilst this is far from their best album, it has its moments.

Another Super Over-reacted album - Beneath The Remains.
Everything must be in place otherwise it can not be great.

Don't you mean 'Over-rated'? But yeah, i agree that 'Beneath the remains' is overrated too. I'll just go with 'arise' as my favourite sepultura album.

I meant "over-reacted" which is more serious than overrated. Music critic overrated the album and the crowd follow it created "over-reacted" phenorama, lasted for so many years, amazing mistakes.
Arise is good...Chaos A.D is my favorite, very much underrated ! I only collect thes two.

Aha, interesting:) Yeah, i agree Chaos A.D. is underrated. It shows sepultura moving in a different direction,yet also has some killer riffs and their 'thrash metal attitude' of the 80's.

There is some really good stuff like "Roots Bloody Roots" and "Ratamahatta", but there is also some pretty generic stuff that doesn't seem too standout. Overall I'll give it a 7, kept me entertained. Most definitely not thrash though...

I'm a big Sepultura's fan but this album is a disappointment for me. Max wanted to do something new and the result is pretty average. Special mention for the song "Roots Bloody Roots" of course, I can't deny it. If only the entire album would be like that...

I saw on the Metal Evolution series Sepultura were "accused" of writing a nu-metal record....Max didn't disagree.

If they cut the album down to around 9-10 solid songs and focussed more on those, then this would have been a much better album. "Roots Bloody Roots" is simply brilliant, has a powerful message.

A pretty decent album overall. I enjoyed it. I'd give it anywhere from a 7.3-7.7 rating.

Ratamahatta was definitely my favorite. That track is addictive. Makes me feel like I'm hunting/being hunted in a South American jungle.

For sure a good album, but far away from their best days. Too much fillers songs overall.
