5.0 out of 5 stars Soulfly, 20 Sep 2005

By	Michael Evans - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very very interesting album. On the first few listens i was a bit blunted due to the fact that as with their previous effort's, its more back to basics and less "experimental". I quite enjoy soulfly for the very fact they dont sound like all the other bands out there. The blend of hard and smoothe with the fast and tribal has allways been what set them and sepultura apart form the crowd.

In my initial ignorance i had no idea just how good this album is, its truly a grower! This is potentially the best Soulfly record yet! its desolate and heavy while retaining a quality that lets you get deeper and deeper with every listen.

As with Tool - this wont please everyone but hardcore Soulfly'ers will not be dissapointed - just listen carefully and you'll be pleasantly surprised as benath the bludgeoning noise; beats the melodic heart of a juggernaut! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a return to form, rather a whole new take, 17 Jan 2006

By	Mr. R. Williams "Rich W" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Many years ago I got Soulfly's first album and it blew me away. I still play it from time to time, and it never fails to impress me. However, as Soulfly released subsequent albums it became clear that they had found their blueprint and were reluctant to shift from it. I rapidly lost interest in the formulaic writing style and tired sentiments.
This album forces me to forgive them for all that. It seems Max is actually angry again, and his band have developed a truly crushing sound. Each track is fresh and new, and the album as a whole is so perfectly structured I can happily sit and listen to it all without growing bored. Riotstarter is by far the most experimental song, and when coupled with tracks like Soulfly V or Arise Again, shows the true breadth of talent in this incarnation of the band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Max has gone back to the primitive..., 2 Nov 2005

By	Oli "walkers62" (England) - See all my reviews

Max Cavalera has gone back to the primitive (if you’ll pardon the pun) and created an album which is very much inspired by his roots (again, pardon the pun.) This album sees Cavalera going back to his glory days of Sepultura and Nailbomb, writing downtuned bottom string riffs reminiscent to those off his most successful albums. An example of this is track five, ‘Arise Again’. The clue is probably in the title. Obviously inspired by Sepultura’s ‘Arise’ era, thrash riffage, gang vocals and with a hauntingly melodic guitar solo. Another stand out track is ‘I and I’. Yet again a full paced thrash anthem with heavy breakdowns for those mosh pit maniacs. In this track you get a full mix of what Soulfly is about, the heaviness, the trademark Max Cavalera shout and the instrumental. It’s like having bread without butter. On this release however the butter has been scraped on and scraped off. There’s significantly less of it on the Dark Ages’ predecessor, Prophecy. A clever move, I must say. Even myself, the most dedicated of Soulfly fans, finds the instrumental experimentations tedious. There is just one totally instrumental track, which is entitled ‘Soulfly V’. These are almost a tradition now on Soulfly albums, so it is forgiven. On the limited edition album you also get three bonus tracks. Two of which are live versions of ‘Seek ‘n’ Strike’ and ‘Prophecy’.

For the first time in Soulfly’s history, Cavalera has kept the same line up for two albums running. His second clever move. This is probably showing promise, as this is their best album since their self titled debut back in ’98. It shows that if a band are playing together long enough, they can work well together and produces monster records such as this.

Be sure to check them out on tour in January and February of next year for an unmissable live show.
