Amazing.......2006-10-16

I heard only the first three tracks of this cd and im already blown away. Ive never listened to Soulfly before but im very happy that I picked up this. Back da f*)# up is a great song, and I cant wait to hear the one with Tom from Slayer. A great cd and very good use of instruments.

Primitive?.......2006-08-02

This cd is in no way primitive. Soulfly took on a new age of metal and shaped their sound to lead the way in the genre. Max Cavalera already proved to the world with Soulfy's self-titled debut that he did not need to depend on his former band, Sepultura, to make dominant metal albums.

From its opener, "Back to the Primitive", the listener will discover that it is going to be a head-banging album. "Pain" hosts Chino Moreno (of Deftones) as a guest singer and is just plain relentless with its thumping main riff. "Bring it" is a short lived yet heavy anthem, while "JumpdaF---up" is probably one of the most interesting tunes on the album. Max collaborates with Corey Taylor on this one...a duo most metalheads have only dreamed about. They work well together on this track, because both have an uncanny ability to scream their lungs out. "Mulambo" is ultra-heavy, although the lyrics are conveyed in Portuguese. "Son Song" features Sean Lennon, and is really one of the softest songs on the CD, though very catchy and well written. "Terrorist" features Tom Araya on vocals...the Slayer influence can just be felt in the air while listening to this track. The end of "Terrorist" may be the fastest/heaviest part of the CD, with Araya and Cavalera screaming, "Bring the Pain to the Motherf----- Pit!!!"

"The Prophet" offers up another loud riff and chorus, while "Soulfly II" is another instrumental, building from "Soulfly I" on their self-titled debut. "In Memory Of..." takes on a different direction. Cavalera collaborates with the rap group Cutthroat Logic to make a hip-hop sounding track. "Fly High" is a little different also, with a high pitched chorus and more of an industrial sound to it. All of the live tracks at the end are a good edition to the bonus disk. Overall, it is a great cd. Of the five releases the band has had, many will argue that this is the best (although Dark Ages and Soulfly are very powerful as well). The production and collaborations on this cd are very good. Metal fans will find this cd will get stuck in their cd player for days, but not by accident.

still awesome, still soulfly.......2006-05-14

this albums pretty good, same sound basically. i give it 5 stars because anything that these guys do deserves that if not more. but for everyone that says this one is better than the first has no idea what their talking about and deserves to die. now because of that last comment this probably wont make it to the page, but i dont really care, so eat me

The beginning of the downward spiral.......2004-11-02

I feel that Soulfly's first CD was absolutely awesome, simply put. And for a while I thought this was even better. I may have felt this way because I bought the self title (2 disc version) with this 16 track version of Primitive. Now that's a lot of Tribal Metal. But it wasn't until the next record 3 came out that the cracks began to show. For me, 3 not only stunk, but it managed to drag Primitive down with it. I haven't listened to this in ages. Soulfly went overboard with the guest spots and no solos what so ever. This is also the start with a dude simply tapping on drums (Bring it), something very annoying that is found frequently on 3.

But all is not lost. A few of the songs are pretty good, Back to the primitive, Pain, Jumpdaf***up (minus the last minute which is a boring fade out), Boom, the Prophet, and yes even terrorist to some extent. The guest appearance with Tom Araya (Slayer) doesn't live up to expectations (no solos), but the combination of lyrics from Inner Self (Sepultura) and Criminally Insane (Slayer) is rather interesting. And the instrumental Soulfly II, is ok and is the last good instrumental from Max. His best was either Kaiowas or We Who are not as Others. (Anyone willing to disagree?) I also like the cover art with the Phoenix rising up from the ground. And believe it or not, I find the only real rap track that Soulfly has done, In Memory Of... to be listenable. I'm not quite sure how this is possible because (c)Rap is poor music in general. Now it may sound like I like this CD but the overall effect is that it sounds like a collection of B-sides, there is hardly an double bass, and if I were to rate the songs, none of them would get a 10/10 rating.

BONUS TRACKS

The four bonus tracks are somewhat unnecessary, but they do help the CD overall. WE have live versions of Eye for an Eye and Tribe. These are some of the best songs on the whole record, and are from the same concert as that of the live songs from the second disc of the re-released self title. (Why they are not there instead, I have no clue). We are then joined by a pointless remix of Fire and an even more pointless remix of the first Soulfly instrumental. The Eternal Spirit mix on the re-release of the Self title is better (pattern here?) And there you have it. This is Primitive, and if your going to buy it, then definitely buy this version, the 4 tracks do help somewhat. And in the store this is normally the same price. (When I bought it, it was actually a dollar cheaper) You can decide for yourself if you want to buy this or not, I'll leave it up to you. I hoped this helped.

Oh boy........2001-04-22

Well I just bought this album and im very impressed with soulfly.Iv just recently started to become a fan of Metal and let me tell you c.d's like this are gonna keep me hooked on the metal scene for a while. Iv listened to lots of metal and none are as emotional or as musicaly talented as Soulfly. Anyways This C.D wont be for the Nu Metal fan , more for the industrial fan , and if you dont like MOBO influlences then just forget it as its got Hip Hop & R&B in it. If you like bands like Fear Factory/Slipknot/V-Mob/ ect ect ya'll dig this c.d alot.
