This album is heavy, with diverse song structures, and excellent production. No, it doesn't rival Beneath the Remains or Arise, but it's a natural progression from Sepultura's early days. I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer Derrick's vocals, which are absolutely brutal! Whole album has a bit of a militant Rage Against the Machine vibe. "Border Wars", "Politricks", "Uma Cura" are some of the favorites. Also, it has the best version of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" I've ever heard. Soooo heavy!

No Max, no soul. Andreas Kisser didn't start the band, so why is he trying to run it? Sepultura died when Max left, but it was great when it lasted. Just change the name because this is NOT Sepultura.

This is the first real album I have heard with Derrick singing. The album is awesome and Derrick definitely smoothed out the edges of the band after Max left.

Hey Rockers, This is a KILLER !!!! If you are a true metal headbanger, you need this in your library. No excuses. Go for it !!!!!

The Ways of Faith is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard from any genre. I can't beleive there are not more reviews of this album on iTunes. In my opinion, Sepultura is a better band with Derrick Green singing and Soulfly is a great band with Max Cavalera. I think this was a good thing he left Sepultura...we got 2 awesome bands out of it!

To all you tribal metalist out there this album is for you. The music is raw and intense. I friggin' love this album. If you liked the "Roots" album this will be right up your ally. I suggest you preview songs like Sepulnation, Uma Cura, and Tribe to a Nation to give you a taste of the dynamics of the album. ENJOY!!!!!
