专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
Losing a lead singer can be incredibly disruptive for a band. Some bands will bounce back -- AC/DC, for example, sounded better than ever when it hired Brian Johnson after Bon Scott's untimely death -- while others will suffer a creative decline. Sepultura experienced a major loss when former lead singer Max Cavalera left to form Soulfly in 1996, but thankfully, Derrick Green proved to be a highly capable replacement. If 1998's mildly uneven Against -- Sepultura's first album with Green -- found the band struggling with the transition, Green was filling Cavalera's shoes much more confidently on 2001's Nation. And if there are still any lingering doubts about the Green/Sepultura match, 2003's excellent Roorback should put them to rest for good. Green is passionate and focused throughout the album -- he has no problem going that extra mile -- and the writing is consistently strong. Unrest and political corruption are recurring themes on Roorback; American singer Green and his Brazilian colleagues spare no anger on incendiary tracks like &Mind War,& &Apes of God,& and the crushing opener, &Come Back Alive& (which is about surviving the horrors of wartime combat). The songs that Sepultura wrote for Roorback paint a consistently bleak and troubling picture of the world -- one that is only reinforced by an unlikely remake of U2's &Bullet the Blue Sky& appended to the album. Sepultura successfully give U2's gem a ferocious alternative metal makeover, and Bono's dark lyrics are right at home on this politically charged CD. When Roorback came out during the summer of 2003, Sepultura had been together for 19 years -- and this compelling disc finds them very much on top of their game after almost two decades in the metal field.

- @IRoNic4⁴(请)：经典重温
- @金属聚集地：高分评价专辑！
- @释魂乐队(物欲时代坚守灵魂)：这张的亮点其实都在翻唱里。。。
- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：Sepultura成功的将U2的精华转换成了极度的另类金属，Bono的黑暗版歌词在这张充满感情的政治性专辑里十分到家。《Roorback》在2003年的夏天面世来算，Sepultura已经创立19个年头了---这张引人注目的CD似乎也证明了在界内奋斗了几乎20年的他们是金属领域里的翘楚。
