what a laughable album! 3 note open string crappy riffs and aweful singing. I can write an album 10 times better in a week, this band should change the name or quit already.
 
It's true, A-Lex sucks ass. I got it, listened to it, and was so disappointed that I haven't given it another chance. You know, Dante wasn't that great either, but it seemed like progression to the good direction. It had thrashy bangers like Convicted In Life and Crown And Miter. But A-Lex, it's full of those crappy two-note nu-metal riffs that Kisser has been paying since Roots, and some very weird experimental shit. I think they tried to be unique, and catch the feeling of the Clockwork Orange book, but they failed. The result was a pretty boring album with extremely simple downtuned tribal metal songs with crappy orchestra interludes. The only bangers on the album were Moloko Mesto and The Treatment.
 
I enjoy listening to Chaos AD about two times a year.

Srsly though, why is Sepultura still making albums? NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.

True, Chaos AD is still pretty good. It's real groove metal with thrash and hardcore influences, not nu-metal. But they should call it quits. They're nothing without the Cavalera brothers. These imposters are nothing compared to real Sepultura, which is called Cavalera Conspiracy.
 
From MA: "A-Lex stands for "no law" or "without law". It also resembles the name of the protagonist, Alex, of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange upon which the album is based."


Cool idea. A Clockwork Orange is awesome (the book and the movie) but I'm sure this album probably sucks.
