Semplice operazione commerciale o regalo per i fans? Boh...
Fatto sta che delle 18(!!!) canzoni di questo Blood Rooted, nove sono state scritte da altre persone (Jonathan Davis, Dj Lethal, i Black Sabbath, Mike Patton e altri), due sono delle versioni demo di pezzi che andranno a finire nel successivo platter Roots e le rimanenti sette sono delle versioni live di pezzi di Chaos A.D. in cui viene inserito il medley Beneath the Remains/ Escape to the Void, memoria di quando i Sepoltura erano, molto probabilmente, un altro gruppo.

I pezzi scritti in collaborazione con altri musicisti si possono dividere in due categorie: quelli scritti durante le registrazioni di Chaos A.D. che sono più metal e quelli scritti durante le registrazioni di Roots che ovviamente risentono del notevole cambio stilistico dei Sepultura tendendo ad avvicinarsi a un tribal-crossover molto sperimentale.
Inutile dire che preferisco i primi ai secondi.

Inoltre i Sepultura ci offrono due versioni demo di Dusted e Roots che suonano incredibilmente Slipknot, soprattutto Dusted.
I pezzi live sono invece davvero bellissimi: riprodotti ad una velocità doppia rispetto a quella del disco danno una carica davvero non indifferente, grazie anche ad una qualità generalmente molto buona della registrazione.

Un disco probabilmente solo per i fans che potranno godere sentendo entrambe le facce dei loro Sepultura, quella metal e quella crossover, nel meglio della loro forma.
Il dubbio comunque rimane... 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)... unici

like a cover on a toilet seat
you piss me off
and I piss you on
a waste ends before it's won

don't stop, cause i'm such a creep) x3
stop me, stop me, stop me, stop me

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...

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
