Can you believe that first song is so good !!!

Sepulnation is The best song of Nation .... and after here comes the big hole. This album was supposed to see a rebound from previous one Against ... which was almost totally missed. Far better compare to Against (but was it possible to do worst ?), Sepulnation is aggressive and reminds us here and there good old days of the band. But these moments are so short !!!

Green seems to have lost his hard-core influences (still not enough for my taste). Apart the vocals and drums, which are by far the more interesting parts of this album, there are too many never ending hard-core boring parts.

Riffs are too simple and 1000 time heard-before and where Soulfly succeeds ... Sepultura lakes of good song-writing is visible like the nose in the middle of the face. Basically, although the vocals have improved the songs are worst than ever. I agree that the writing is better compare to the last album, but it still not enough to impress us ... after all we are talking of Sepultura, don't we?

Far too little good time and at the end ... with all these boring moments, this album seems to be endless. This is the second record without "who you know" and second disillusion.

Maybe next time ... but I am afraid it might be their last chance.
