Ci troviamo di fronte all'ennesima speculazione economica da parte di una label (in questo caso la Roadrunner che ha nella sua scuderia grandi nomi come Machine Head, Opeth, Cradle Of Filth, Stone Sour, Slipknot o Soulfly) sulla popolarità di una grande band come i Sepultura che insieme agli Slayer hanno scritto la storia del trash metal più aggressiva.
Il riusultato non è niente di mediocre e/o scandaloso infatti la scelta delle song è perfetta, davvero "il meglio dei.." però allo stesso tempo è pura cattiveria, infatti non ne siamo molto sicuri che Max Cavalera non sia entrato in questa operazione infatti i pezzi scelti si fermano all'album "Roots" ovvero il più famoso della band brasiliana e soprattutto l'ultimo del gruppo con Max alla voce questo non è fondamentalmente giusto, anche se i "nuovi" Sepultura non sono più quelli di una volta (in effetti senza Max non hanno nessuna grinta) i migliori episodi degli album del post-Max potevano e dovevano entrare nella raccolta.
Comunque disaccordi e mosse malvagie a parte fa sempre piacere ascoltare pietre miliari del metal come "Troops Of Doom", "Roots Bloody Roots" o "Arise", e la raccolta è fondamentalmente buona per chi vuole conoscere questa band. Intanto sono previsti i "best of" anche di Fear Factory, ill Nino e Type o' Negative messi sul mercato sempre dalla Roadrunner, che in questo periodo ha fame di soldi!

02 Beneath the Remains (05:14)
In the middle of a war that was not
started by me
Deep depression of the nuclear remains
I've never thought if, I've never thought
about
This happening to me
Proliferations of ignorance
Orders that stand to destroy
Battlefields and slaughter
Now they mean my home and work
Who has won?
Who has died?
Beneath the remains
Cities in ruins
Bodies packed on minefields
Neurotic game of life and death
Now I can feel the end
Premonition about my final hour
A sad image of everything
Everything's so real
Who was won?
Who has died?
Everything happened so quickly
I felt I was about to leave hell
I'll fight for myself, for you, but so what?
To feel a deep hate
To feel scared
But beyond that, to whish being at an end
Clotted blood
Mass mutilation
Hope for the future is only utopia
Mortality, insanity, fatality
You'll never want to feel what I've felt
Mediocrity, brutality, and falsity
It's just a world against me
Cities in ruins
Bodies packed on minefields
Neurotic game of life and death
Now I can feel the end
Premonition about my final hour
A sad image of everything
Everything's so real
Who has won?
Who has died?
Beneath the remains
03 Inner Self (05:09)
Walking these dirty streets
With hate in my mind
Feeling the scorn of the world
I won't follow your rules
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Nonconformity in my inner self
Only I guide my inner self
I won't change may way
It has to be this way
I live my life for my self
Forget your filthy ways
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Nobody will change my way
Life betrays, but I keep going
There's no light, but there's hope
Crushing oppression, I win
Betraying and playing dirty, you think
you'll win
But someday you'll fall, and I'll be
waiting
Laughs of an insane man, you'll hear
Personality is my weapon against your
envy
Walking these dirty streets
With hate in my mind
Feeling the scorn of the world
I won't follow your rules
Nonconformity in my inner self
Only I guide my inner self
04 Arise (03:18)
Obscured by the sun
Apocalyptic clash
Cities fall in ruin
Why must we die?
Obliteration of mankind
Under a pale grey sky
We shall arise...
I did nothing, saw nothing
Terrorist confrontation
Waiting for the end
Wartime conspiracy
I see the world - old
I see the world - dead
Victims of war, seeking some salvation
Last wish, fatality
I've no land, i'm from nowhere
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Face the enemy
Manic thoughts
Religious intervention
Problems remain
05 Dead Embryonic Cells (04:52)
Land of anger,
I didn't ask to be born,
Sadness, sorrow,
Everything so alone,
Laboratory sickness,
Infects humanity,
No hope for cure,
Die by technology,
A world full of shit coming down,
Tribal violence everywhere,
Life in the age of terrorism,
We spit in your other face,
War of races,
World without intelligence,
A place consumed by time,
End of it all,
We're born,
With pain,
No more,
We're dead,
Embryonic cells,
Corrosion inside - we feel,
Condemned future - we see,
Emptiness calls - we hear,
Final premonition - the truth,
Land of anger,
I didn't ask to be born,
Sadness, sorrow,
Everything so alone,
Laboratory sickness,
Infects humanity,
No hope for cure,
Die by technology,
We're born with pain,
Suffer remains,
We're born with pain,
Suffer remains,
We're dead.
