Sepultura: A-Lex(SPV)
Rating: 5/5
Written by Sameerah
I know people say it all the time that a particular album is a bands defining moment that best thing since sliced bread and all of that shit. But listening to Sepultura's new album A-Lex all the cliche about it being their best album ever actually rings true. A-Lex is a concept album based around the Anthony Burgess classic A Clockwork Orange. Already a pretty intense book it takes on new ferocity with Sepultura as the voice of our friend and humble narrator Alex. His journey from violence fueled thug to abused prisoner and ultimately adult hood is peppered with screams of the unrepentant. The concept of ultraviolence goes from disturbing to crippling with the slam of the bass and tortuous riff of the guitar. Its an amazing album. Especially the instrumentals of Ludwig Van. Hearing Sepultura's interpretation of the great composer was so moving that whenever it plays I have to stop whatever it is I'm doing to get wrapped up in the experience. Supultura never ceases to amaze the listener with their skill intelligence and over all bad ass attitude A-Lex is no exception.

Sepultura: A-lex (SPV/Target)
Written by Jon A
Rating: 4/5
Most people have written off Sepultura post-Max Cavalera, undeniably their driving creative force up until he left the band in ’96, even if their first albums with new singer Derrick Green, “Against” and “Nation”, introduced a new, much more basic hardcore punk energy to their music, while Cavalera went off on his world metal rastafari spiritual journey in Soulfly. Now, with Max’ younger brother Igor having also left the fold to be reunited with his brother in Cavalera Conspiracy, the only original member left is bassist Paulo Jr., guitarist Andreas Kisser joining for “Scizophrenia”, the second full length album, so what’s left of Sepultura?
A sound that’s uniquely Sepultura, even if it has gone through immense changes since their early primitive thrash metal, through their death thrash era over the punkish world metal records. These days, Sepultura are every bit as vital and fast as they were on those first Green albums, but, as with their last album, they’re aiming a bit higher with momentous concept albums. This one is based around “A Clockwork Orange”, the title a wordplay on the main character of the novel and the Russian term for having “no law”, thus uniting it with Sepultura’s long association with anarchist thought, first expressed on “Chaos A.D.”
Heavy metal concept albums have a tendency to be unwillingly funny and pompous, and in all honesty, “A-lex” is no exception to that rule, thanks in no small part to Sepultura’s take on Beethoven in “Ludwig Van”: Metal trying to be classical is even funnier than metal trying to be clever and literate, but hey, it’s charming in its own way.
In conclusion, Sepultura are in no way to be counted out yet.

Sepultura: A-Lex
By suffer2ascend
For those old-school closed-minded Sepultura fans that refuse to venture beyond the Roots album: save yourself some time and don't bother reading any further.
For the rest of you, you can relax knowing that there is actually life after the Cavaleras have gone. as I've said before, since Derrick joined the band, each album has been an improvement from the last one, and A-Lex is no exception. however, this one marks a milestone in Sepultura's legacy considering the fact that this is the first album since Iggor's departure. but trust me, once you hear Jean's drumming, you'll forget all about Iggor.
As you probably know, this is a concept album based on the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange. the album definitely sounds like it has a concept album feel, with some of the songs bearing a somewhat cinematic quality both lyrically and musically. s t y l e-wise, the heaviness isn't really much different from the last few Sepultura albums. maybe more streamlined and focused on this one. the heavy riffs and the drums seem to lock together and groove better than ever on this record. there are some quiet parts found here too. especially impressive is a complex Beethoven piece performed perfectly by the band. I have no complaints whatsoever with A-Lex. its probably the best thing they've done so far with this line-up.

Este álbum agarrou-me. Um pouco surpreendentemente. Esqueçam lá os Cavaleras... Entrando em comparação, este dá um banho ao último de Soulfly. Da fase Green considero-o o melhor.

Sepultura: A-Lex
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewed by heavytothebone2
"'A-Lex' is another bold and daring step for Sepultura, one that mostly pays off this time around."
In 2006, Sepultura brought the tale of "The Divine Comedy" to life with the concept album “Dante XXI.” After treading water for years, the Brazilian metal band seemed to finally get back on track with an album that showcases the side of the band that had seemed to diminish throughout the late 90’s. While the band was still achieving critical acclaim during that time period, their fan base had slowly dwindled away, seemingly paralyzed with disbelief over the loss of founding member Max Cavalera shortly after the release of the band's groundbreaking 1996 album “Roots.”
In the three years since the release of “Dante XXI,” the other Cavalera brother, drummer Igor, left the band to form a new project with his brother, Cavalera Conspiracy, breaking a decade-long silence between the two. Undeterred, Sepultura did what they do best and soldiered on, recruiting Jean Dolabella to fill the big shoes of Igor’s. With a new line-up in tow, Sepultura went back to the studio to work on their second concept album, “A-Lex.”
Based on the classic 1962 Anthony Burgess novel “A Clockwork Orange,” “A-Lex” is another bold and daring step for Sepultura, one that mostly pays off this time around. The majority of the tracks are under the three-minute mark, making sure that each track doesn’t overstay its welcome. There are hints of the band’s old sound sprinkled throughout “A-Lex,” especially with guitarist Andreas Kisser’s fast-picked riffs on “Forceful Behavior” and “Moloko Mesto.” Tracks like the brief, yet powerful, “Enough Said,” the lumbering “We’ve Lost You!,” and the throwback-thrash sound of “The Treatment” will have fans salivating with delight.
The experimentation is prevalent with the five instrumentals, the tribal percussion on “Filthy Rot,” and the epic “Sadistic Values,” which has vocalist Derrick Green trading in his usually-aggressive vocals for a calm, melodic croon that is surprisingly effective. Like “Dante XXI,” the instrumentals, while vital to the flow of the album, are mostly pointless, save for the Beethoven-inspired “Ludwig Van.” Imagine the legendary composer’s 9th Symphony, with Sepultura providing back-up support to the orchestra; “Ludwig Van” is the result of that collaboration. At first, it seems like a strange combination, but the band makes it work, turning in one of the strongest performances on “A-Lex.”
With 18 songs, a few of them are bound to be regaled to the position of "filler" track, a status that is exclusive to a selected number of tracks. Other than the instrumentals, the closer “Paradox” is an anti-climatic end to the album; while having a fantastic solo courtesy of Kisser, the track is too short and bland to make a lasting impression. The second half of the album tends to be heavy on the instrumentals, breaking up the steady flow of “A-Lex,” especially near the end.
While not as consistent as “Dante XXI,” “A-Lex” is a solid concept album with a lot of attention to detail to make sure that the album is what the soundtrack to “A Clockwork Orange” would sound like if a metal band took a stab at it. Some songs work better than others, but Sepultura continues to show a heavier side, with a pinch of progressive tendencies; the same side of them that was poking through the cracks on “Dante XXI.” Long-time fans that got off the Sepultura bandwagon once Max left will likely find nothing to get excited about with “A-Lex;” however, the album will find an audience with those who have accepted Sepultura for what they are today, and not for what they used to be.

Sepultura. A-Lex
Rating: 4/5
By: Rebecca Koons
"Brazil's kings of metal get down to business on latest hard-hitting effort."
Sepultura has been cranking out album after skull-crushing album since the mid-1980s for a legion of fans. Nearly a quarter century after its inception, Brazilian metal's finest has unleashed another beast on the world. Sepultura's 11th studio release, A-Lex, brings heavy metal back to basics with an all-out thrashfest.
The band has always been one for experimentation. Sepultura has been known to lace elements of native Brazilian music into its own uncompromising brand of metal. A-Lex is another testament to the band's taste for the unconventional - it is a concept album based on Anthony Burgess' novel A Clockwork Orange.
On A-Lex, there are certainly no signs of this band slowing down any time soon. Like a well-oiled machine, Sepultura knows what it's doing and knows how to produce a piece of work brimming with raw passion and intensity. This puts Sepultura a cut above the rest in that realm of the musical world. While a great number of bands may come and go, Sepultura is always able to prove itself worthy of the legacy it has built in the past two decades.
A-Lex is an 18-track behemoth, with a running theme of tracks ("A-Lex I, II, III and IV") that serve as separate introductions to each part of the album. What follows is pure, unadulterated metal at its best. Sepultura never falters at being an all-killer, no-filler band. However, one track that seems to stand out is "Ludwig Van." Despite being part of the natural progression of the album, the track's sound deviates almost too much from the energy and atmosphere of A-Lex.
Despite its few flaws, Sepultura has been an inspiring, driving force in the rock world for many years, and with its latest work, the band is making sure it stays that way.
Rebecca's Picks: "Filthy Rot," "Conform," "Paradox"

Sepultura: A-Lex (SPV)
Written by Dionisis Kollias
After the release of their previous album “Dante XXI” our old pals from Brasil gained back a large number of the fans they lost after the “Roots” era. Well, when “A-Lex” hits the stores you’ll hope that the Cavalera bros never return to the band! That means that you’d wish for no goddamn reunion! If I sound quite excited is because I begin to realize what it means to progress and evolve as a band without losing your identiy. And you know something? Sepultura worked hard for this. They roamed around people and unpleasant situations for a long time. They experimented, tried and finally achieved to develop what they first started to explore back in 1993 with “Chaos A.D.”.
What would a fan expect from a new Sepultura album? Shouting vocals about the worldwide injustices, groovy guitar riffs combined with stable or fast rhythm section and weird paranoid solos! You’ve got the whole package plus a somewhat concept idea on “A Clockwork Orange” and some symphonic, orchestral parts on the track “Ludwig Van” and not just that! The band unleashes a fury of 18 songs that are mostly characterized by aggression, maturity and love for the extreme metal. And don’t mistake maturity for turn to the mainstream. Here you’ll get some of the best tracks the band has ever done, the best album Derrick Green has done with the band (since he joined 11 years ago) and definitely the best album Seps have created after “Chaos A.D.”! Jean Dolabella behind the drum kit is doing what everybody wished for all these year: beating the shit out of it! Yes, my friends! This album, in total, is the fastest since “Arise”! But don’t also mistake this as a back to the roots album! This is the brand new Sepultura album! It has nothing to do with what they did until 1991 and don’t forget we’re talking about almost 2 decades ago!
“A-Lex” (the name of the hero in “A Clockwork Orange”) also stands for ‘no law’; something the band has realized is missing from today’s world. If you feel that the riots that happened recently in Athens were somewhat an expression against the inequity of the system then you found your soundtrack for the first months of 2009!

Re: Sepultura - "A-Lex" (2009)
Ainda não ouvi que chegue para dar uma opinião concreta, mas pelo que ouvi apenas umas 3 ou 4 musicas se safam.
Epa, tanta musica num album de Sepultura, a sorte é que quase nenhuma chega a 3 minutos! xD
Hum... hum... olha que não sei, mas só posso dizer quando ouvir melhor este A-Lex.
Mas assim de repente, acho dificil bater o "Conquer" dos Soulfly, e até mesmo o "Inflikted" da Conspiração Cavalera :P
Há uns anitos gostava mais de Sepultura do que de Soulfly mas já lá vai muito tempo e fui ficando "agarrado" aos sons do Max fora de Sepultura, dele e do Mark Rizzo.
Estes dois gajos para mim, fazem riffs e melodias muito originais como aquela parte "calminha" da Unleash, a parte final da "Frontlines", e aquela a partir do min 1:23 da Inflikted (CC).
E se eu já gostei mais de Sepultura foi pelo Max porque só ele sabia dar aquele toque especial, mesmo assim continuo a gostar e aprecio os trabalhos com o Derrick Green, mas pah, tá loooonge.

originais?!
para mim Sepultura sempre foi e será sinonimo de originalidade!
soulfly e CC são apenas truques de marketing para a maquina do cavalera e da sua esposa facturarem mais uns milhares de dolares.
só um Netaleiro da geração mp3 é que não vê isto.
mas lá está, tu tens a tua opinião e eu respeito! apesar de não concordar rigorosamente com nada do que escreves.

Sepultura: A-Lex (2009)
After such a fantastic last album, the band decided to once again write a concept album based on a book, this time they chose 'A Clockwork Orange'. An odd choice since the book was written by an English author, and this is a brazilian band, but hey, I'm willing to give it a shot. The result is another super solid album. So many awesome riffs in here, like the odd time signature of the main riff in 'Filthy Rot' (and perfectly placed tribal vocals overtop). The odd rhythm also gives new drummer Jean Dolabella a chance to show off his stuff, and he delivers some spectacular tribal rhythms. Igor may have been the pioneer in the style, but this guy does a great job continuing the tradition. The album is also split up into several parts using short instrumental songs, which breaks up the brutal bits, giving the album a lot of variety as well as giving the band a chance to use lots of odd instruments such as keyboards and a full orchestra for one song. This isn't all experimentation though, several really fast and thrashy songs pummel the listener, including the album closer, it's nice to see the album ended strong. The heavy use of detuned guitar and super tribal drumming really reminds me of "Roots". If you enjoyed "Roots", "Chaos AD" or their last one, I think you'll really dig this album too.

Grin Escreveu:MindFire Escreveu:e fui ficando "agarrado" aos sons do Max fora de Sepultura, dele e do Mark Rizzo.
Estes dois gajos para mim, fazem riffs e melodias muito originais
originais?!
para mim Sepultura sempre foi e será sinonimo de originalidade!
soulfly e CC são apenas truques de marketing para a maquina do cavalera e da sua esposa facturarem mais uns milhares de dolares.
só um Netaleiro da geração mp3 é que não vê isto.
mas lá está, tu tens a tua opinião e eu respeito! apesar de não concordar rigorosamente com nada do que escreves.
Para ti e para mim
Em relação a CC, não digo que é marketing, mas que foi um álbum facílimo de gravar, lá isso foi. "Chaos AD" meets recent Soulfly and Igor finds again he's got a double bass on the drum kit.
A-lex está muito bom... não me canso de o frisar!
