I've been waiting for Max to pull
one out of his hat and put out an album that knocks me off my ass, but
that hasn't happened yet...he seemed to be kind of chasing his tail in
circles with Soulfly, it was getting old. Soulfly's 3rd album does have
some badass possibilities, but a few of them just veer off into the wrong
direction and end up sounding like a train wreck.
At about 3:08 in "One Nation" there's some really cool acoustic guitar,
but it just doesn't seem to fit there, and "Tree Of Pain" is a giant
clusterfuck...you can't say that the man doesn't try to push boundries
and experiment, but it just doesn't seem to turn out right. But fret not
there are some sick tracks on here. "Enterfaith" is more what I'd
been hoping for, with "L.O.T.M." following close behind, both are
straightforward punk/thrash/metal the way we know Max can do it. "Brasil"
is sure to start riots if ever played live, and "One Nation" isn't
too shabby either. The real shit starts with "Call To Arms" which
could be straight off Chaos A.D. "Four Elements" is quite atmospheric
in the middle before crashing into a pit rallying riff at the end.
All in all not too bad, but Soulfly's talents come across better live
than in the studio.
