I listened to this hoping for an improvement over their dead-in-the-water debut (and over the entirety of Soulfly’s morbidly uninteresting discography) but the same adjectives kept coming to mind. Tepid, dull and lifeless. C’mon Max, where are the riffs? Where is the energy? I don’t expect a return to Arise / Chaos AD but those albums had a power and aggression behind them which this is completely devoid of.

The debut was a much better album. This is not all that bad, but it does serve as a reminder for how far Max (and now Igor) have fallen from their glory days… because they used to be great.

I happen to like this album quite a bit. I’ve been a fan of Max, in all his forms, since Sepultura released the legendary “Chaos A.D.” in 1993. I’ve followed him thru Sepultura, Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy…and Max is still the man.

Not quite every other word, but he uses it plenty. The record is lyrically challenged, but then most of his stuff is.

does he use “fuck” as every other word on this? because that was what made the last 15 years of Max Cavalera suck.
