Rating: Simple commercial operation or gift for the fans? Who knows...
The fact is, out of the 18(!!!) songs on this Blood Rooted, nine were written by other people (Jonathan Davis, DJ Lethal, Black Sabbath, Mike Patton, and others), two are demo versions of tracks that would end up on the subsequent platter Roots, and the remaining seven are live versions of tracks from Chaos A.D., including the medley Beneath the Remains/Escape to the Void, a memory of when Sepultura were, most likely, another band.
The tracks written in collaboration with other musicians can be divided into two categories: those written during the Chaos A.D. recordings, which are more metal, and those written during the Roots recordings, which obviously reflect the significant stylistic change of Sepultura, tending towards a very experimental tribal-crossover.
Needless to say, I prefer the former over the latter.
Additionally, Sepultura offers us two demo versions of Dusted and Roots that sound incredibly Slipknot, especially Dusted.
The live tracks, on the other hand, are truly beautiful: reproduced at double the speed of the record, they provide an impressive boost, thanks also to a generally very good recording quality.
A record probably only for the fans who can enjoy hearing both faces of their Sepultura, the metal and the crossover, at their best.
The doubt still remains... Why don't you get a life and grow up Why don't you realize that you're fucked up Why criticize what you don't understand Why change my words, you're so afraid (Propaganda)... unique

I!

But Destruction Never Stops
Can You Stop It?
Do You Want To?

Cities Contaminated With Acid Rain
We Poison Our Bodies To Alleviate The Pain
Of What We Do To Each Other

08 Lookaway (Master Vibe mix) (05:35)
Ahhhh...
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
Lie just to lick a bit
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
To lie just to lick
Fake it, you like it, just take me away.
(hold it?), just save it and I'll be repaid
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
To lie just to lick a bit
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
To lie, to lick
Take it, enlarge it, became it, before
Like it, I like it, and I'll be (can't tell)
Fake it, then like it, just take it tonight.
Take it
I look at you, (then) you look at me, (then) you look away...
[x14]
11 Drug Me (01:54)
I don't want to think, give me balls, go with my friends
Can't come up with anything, my brain needs stimulation
Drug me, drug me, drug me, drug me
I'm so fucking tired, got it waiting for us, gotta stay
TV and girls, third world, make more to store
Drug me, drug me, drug me, look out
Drug me, with natural vitamin C
Drug me, with pharmaceutical speed
Drug me, with your sleeping pills
Drug me, with your crossword puzzles
Drug me, with your magazines
Drug me, with your fuck machines
All fake, fuck it away
Finally off to work, another potato-chip weekend
Go away, go away, leave me alone, can't see myself
Drug me, drug me, drug me, drug me
[Original lyrics off "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" by DK (thanks Svein)]
[DRUG ME (Words and music: Jello Biafra)]
I don't want to think
Don't make me care
I wanna melt in with the group
I need the balls
To leap out of my shell
And let go with my friends
Can't come up with anything I want to do
I need a project I can finish
My brain needs some stimulation
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
I'm so fucking tired
I gotta stay awake and get to work
I'm runnin' late
I gotta make it through the day
And make my time go by
TV and the stereo and girls are lots of fun
I want the max
I relate better loaded
'Gotta see that movie stoned'
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
Drug me- with natural vitamin C
Drug me- with pharmaceutical speed
Drug me- with your sleeping pills
Drug me- with your crossword puzzles
Drug me- with your magazines
Drug me- with your fuck machines
With a fountain of fads
More rock and roll ads...
DRUG ME
DRUG ME
DRUG ME ME ME
Finally off of work
Unwind, and watch the ball game at the bar
Another potato chip weekend
Is here at last
Go away Go away Go away Go away
Go away
Leave me alone
So I can't see myself
