 "A useless and unoriginal album, which was announced as the metal work of the year only because of the name the band carries on its shoulders: all smoke and no fire."

 "Sepultura really sound bad: Paulo Jr. on bass doesn’t get a single thing right, axe-man Kisser doesn’t create anything noteworthy, and those small flashes of light from Igor Cavalera... are annihilated by the sometimes weak, sometimes nauseating growl of an incapable vocalist."

The review harshly criticizes Sepultura's 2001 album Nation, marking it as a significant decline following Derrick Green's arrival. Despite initial positive critic responses, the reviewer finds the album dull, uninspired, and lacking soul. Instrumentation and vocals fail to impress, creating nostalgia for the band's earlier days. The review questions the band's future, suggesting a reunion or disbandment. Read this candid review and decide if Sepultura's Nation deserves a listen or should be left in the past.

 "Beneath The Remains is a very tight album, a great mix of death and thrash, and full of those tremendous onslaughts that characterized the first cycle of Sepultura."

 "Max Cavalera builds around himself his reputation as a metal sacred monster, excellent both at the microphone and the guitar; and what about his brother Igor? What I liked most in the full length is undoubtedly him."
