Sepultura – Roots

Review# 138

Roots is a great album, the experimentalism with ideas around Brazilian culture, politics and rhythm make for an interesting listen. All of the above are infused with Death, Thrash and Nu Metal. And with 16 tracks on the album, guests like Jonathan Davies and Mike Patton as well as the Xavante Indians who feature on "Itsári", there is a lot to listen to and it is quite varied.
I do like a lot of tracks on the album but do find it has it's dips where it moves away to a style that I am less interested but on the whole I am impressed with the daring to try different things and (as the title suggests) the rootsy-ness of the album.
