Sepultura, A-Lex
Sepultura, A-Lex

The absence of the Cavalera brothers has influenced many to make a pre-assumption of A-Lex as a bad album - it honestly isn't. I think the world needs to realize a lot of bands still make good music even without the so-called classic lineups, and given everything Sepultura has contributed to metal they are definitely one of them. Even though I wouldn't name A-Lex as one, if I were to name a classic Sepultura album, it is still a damn good album. It might not have the signature Sepultura edge from the Max Cavalera-era or the Cavaleras-era for that matter, or the lack of memorable riffs from a lot of previous Sepultura work, which might suggest a sense of a rushed album. But the obvious Phil Anselmo-esque elements in Green's singing and the ever-present groove-metal edge of the band's music will make this an entertaining album for the groove metal fan.
