| 3.0 good | Trey STAFF | March 1st 17 | Chaos A.D. was Sepultura's last really good album, and this doesn't change that. At least, though, this is fairly entertaining and kind of experimental by Sep standards.

| 3.5 great | Jared Floryan | January 17th 17 | By far one of the most hallucinogenic Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters I've come across lately. Sentiments on the artwork aside, Machine Messiah is certainly preferrable over the previous post-Max Cavalera material; yes, that includes the album dished out before this one. Based in Belo Horizonte, Brazilian metal entourage Sepultura's fourteenth studio effort improves upon the bad production values of its predecessor and showcases some welcome variety here and there. Running the gamut from thrash leanings to hardcore strikes to tribal touches to even symphonic elements, Machine Messiah isn't as good as Sepultura's classic work, but at the very least it could be an omen of better things to come. Stay posi even if the thought of a mechanical civilization crosses the mind. Angel recommends: "Machine Messiah," "I Am the Enemy," "Iceberg Dances," "Sworn Oath," and "Silent Violence".

| 4.5 superb | HybridF | July 23rd 19 | Showcases Sepultura's evolution as a band. Specially shines when compared to the Cavalera brothers' recent output, which is recycled, boring nostalgia. Sepultura is where it's at.

| 3.5 great | Ganoncannon | February 5th 18 | Easily the best thing from Sepultura since Chaos AD. Hopefully this boost in quality won't be a one-off

| 2.5 average | BRAman22 | August 3rd 17 | Sepultura is one of those bands that I follow because of who they were. Sometimes I'm not sure why I even bother.

| 3.5 great | resident sputbirb with fancy hat | January 16th 17 | Havent listened to this band much in the past
but this album kindles my interest for this
legendary and unique band, especially with
their two incarnations. The music on here is
very diverse and ranges from thrash to groove
metal and has many orchestral and tribal
elements to it that i really enjoy. One only
has to listen to the opener to see how
diverse the sound of current sepultura is.

| 2.5 average | zaruyache | January 14th 17 | That one time they actually tried to play hardcore was cool, but then they never ever touch on that idea again and just go back to same old same old groove metal modern Sepultura'ing. And man, we've all heard this before. This is easily a step down from Kairos, which is easily their best modern album.

| 4.0 excellent | Greeny86 | January 11th 17 | Fantastic album!! Sworn Oath is an awesome song. Eloy Casagrande has to be one of the best metal
drummers around. Has totally gave new life and energy to Sepultura. I hope Derrick will get the
respect he deserves at long last also.

| 3.5 great | ColonelWang | January 10th 17 | The two singles were actually pretty sick. Mediator was a pretty good album,so I'm looking rforward to this one! The new drummer brought them back to life
