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...

This is where Sepultura actually lost the game. just awful

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.

RATAMAHATTA RATAMAHATTA RATAMAHATTA RATAMAHATTA RATAMAHATTA

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.

Still rocking, after all these years ! Real masterpiece !

Honestly, I can express my impression from this album in just one word: boring. Just that.

Boring and stupid album.... the only good songs are roots and attitude. also many songs are.. hatetable...

Hmm, this isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It's overrated as hell, long, and for the most part unmemorable, but at least it's better than... virtually everything released after it.

And Cavalera Conspiracy post-Inflikted. And all of Soulfly.

Dusted ? Born Stubborn ? Straighthate ? Cut Throat ?

Misunderstood big-time game-changer. Sepultura's freshest, fully actual original output. Everything made after from all parties is based on the formula this was doing. Every aspect of this was genre craftwork experimentation risk-taking to the MAX haha.

I respect this more over time for doing that, regardless of the result.

hatetable

aaah yes , the table of hate

This Album is amazing .... very folk and to different for a lot of people ...not for me

Nu metal peaked here.

Nobody was describing this as "nu metal" when it came out, I think the term came a bit later.

Fair enough

I don't know if I should call this guilty pleasure or something. As far as I can remember many people have told me to hate this travesty, like it can't possibly get any worse than this. I still kinda like Roots. Just the fact that they were willing take so much flak for creating something like this and risk alienating big part of their fanbase is worth mucho respect. Also, back in the day this kind of music was a whole new thing and still very experimental. The songs, I think, are also good, Ratamahatta is my favourite.
