Customer Reviews

Unite The Tribe
Wow What A record! This is a moving, emotional and dare I say spirutual Cd. I have always been a fan of Sepultura and continueto support both bands in their musical quests. That said Primitive is an amazing cd. Max and his tribe tear it up on this cd without one bad song on the whole disc. Now I love Max's voice as much as the next guy but it sometimes can get repeative. But here's the beauty of this disc Max brings in new singers to duet with him adding a much needed variety to this album. Some surprizes are Corey Taylor ( Slipknot) on Jumpdaf**kup showing off alot better vocals then his current bands disc. Max also get a stunning performance out of Sean Leannon on Son's Song. Hearing Max and Sean combine vocals on a song about lost fathers is truly a lasting experience. All the songs carry different moods and tones and this is just 100 % better than the 1st disc. Plus the disc comes with two live tracks Eye for Eye and Tribe. One interesting industrial track Solfire and a reworking of the greatet instrumental ever Soulfly. By the way their is a straight rap song on this record but it is done to mourn the loss of friends and continues the highly regarded merger of rap and metal in the vein of Anthrax/Public Enemy. Their is also some lovely R&B singing on the Chrous of the last song. A true masterpiece plus the digipack is cheaper than the regular cd.

Better than the debut
I have always been a big fan of Maxs work, from sepultura to nailbomb and soulfly. one of my all time fave groups is always gonna be sepultura, and hearing max was kicked out was somethin that i thought would kill the metal world. soon, he came back with soulfly, a decent album but nothing near the genius work with sepultura. the debut was full of agression yet something was lacking. i noticed this album, expecting the same ol fare, but i was shocked to hear a better album. The drums are clearer, even more aggressive than before. The bass stands out a lot better, making its mark on my ears. the guitar work is much improved as well. the songs are better also, the writing seems a little more focused than before yet still containing the aggressive tone of the past. Max is still in top form here, going from tribal chant to guttaral scream in seconds. standouts are tracks 1-6,8, and 12. the best is the one with corey from slipknot (another great band), second being terrorist with tom araya of slayer fame. all in all, worth all the pennies spent, a helluva release.

weak
I hate seeing Max trying to be trendy with nu rap metal .... I'm a Sepultura fan from the Beneath the Remains days. I wasn't a big fan of the first soulfly album,either. It seems he has been ripping himself off since the Brilliant Sepultura album Roots, but he dosen't have the talent of his old band to pull it off. He needs to get his thumb out of his a** and get back with Sepultura. The best track on this album is the one with Tom from Slayer. Forget Soulfly and pick up Shadows Fall or the new Nothingface album if you want something GOOD and heavy.
