Advantages: Pretty good debut, full of loud angry metal songs Disadvantages: All starts to sound much the same at times though, another Sepultura album could've been better
...Following Sepultura’s seminal 1996 ‘Roots’ album, the band unfortunately split in two. Andreas, Igor and Paulo opted to continue as Sepultura with new vocalist Derrick Green. Ex-frontman Max Cavalera, however, decided to form a new band, Soulfly.
Soulfly’s self-titled debut was released in 1998, at what was still a turbulent time for Max. Not only had he just split from Sepultura (and his brother Igor); Soulfly were a new band (who’ve since had three line up changes) and Max’s adopted son, Dana ‘D-Low’ Wells, had just been murdered. (I don’t know details of this, but Max certainly believes he was murdered, and the killers never brought to justice).
Understandably, this background has considerable influence on the content of the album. At least three songs directly concern Dana...

8. If -
The backing vocals are impeccable on this track and are perfectly in tune and in time. Once again the track is split in to seperate verses and every few lines are broken up by a change of person singing. Also added is a spoken verse, explaining what its like to just sit and wait for something until you're fed up of waiting and realising what you've been missing, then the chorus fades out.
Written by Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Dana Stinson, Big Drawers, Charles Jackson and Marvin Yancy. Produced by Rockwilder for F-5 productions and Beyonce Knowles.
