New Soulfly...?

[NAD]

Just read a rather postive review of it, and it has a cover of Helmet's - In The Meantime. There were about 1.5 brilliant songs on the first Soulfly (surrounded by massive piles of feces), and I never bothered the the next two. Anyone know if this one might be worth looking into?

Otherwise just talk about old Sepultura in this thread, whatever.

there are a couple of decent songs on it .. but if you didn't like the old stuff this is not going to do anyhting for you.

there are a couple of, dare i say old school thrash tunes here, but even those cannot save it. this will end up in the bargain bin soon.

max needs to get back with the seps

Blah, figured as much. Oh well.

 

[lurch70]

did i ever rant about me blaming post Arise Sepultura and later Soulfly ... for single handedly creating this damn "jumpdafuckup" movement.

i think we need an official apology from those Brasilians for putting up with this all these years

Not that I've seen, but yeah they were certainly part of the cause. I've always found it funny that a lot of the stuff that started nu-metal was pretty good but what quickly followed just created this hideous monstrosity that still plagues the airwaves.

Fuck man, I had bought Primitive SPECIAL EDITION (I don't know why) and talk about BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, it as verses from Psalms as a bonus feature LUCKY ME! Oh, and the CD sucks (I mean Corey from slipknot appears on it and says muthafucka.)

Prophecy is surprisingly good, especially the first 5 or 6 songs. It sounds like a soulfly version of Chaos AD. I personally cant stand anything else they have done either.

They'd be great if Max just focused! He's got an undeniably wide-reaching and fervent passion for practically all styles of music, but doesn't quite have the vision to pull it all together into one fusion of sound, so you get mosh-heavy tunes broken up by fucking Samba beats or out-of-nowhere drum 'n' bass remixes... gah...

I totally agree Dill. Max pulled it all together in Roots, even if I wasnt all that crazy for the album. Perhaps he needs a cowriter, and not a bunch of all star musicians that sit in for a few songs.
