As a Brazilian myself, Roots is an album that means so much to me. Capoeira, Brazilian music styles like Maracatu, Samba, Baião and more, shoutouts to important figures like Chico Mendes (an advocate for the human rights of indigenous people), Brazilian folklore, the list goes on. The classic 'Ditadura nunca mais' cry (Dictatorship, never again) is also present. And much, much more. It's a significant album, a smartly crafted one. This was Sepultura embracing where they come from. I'll always be grateful for that.

Here in Brazil, Roots, in my opinion, is the most celebrated album by our heavy metal community and musicians in general. References to indigenous culture, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Slavery, Christian submission and other subjects of our history and "roots" just make a perfect fit. Plus the music for me is just awesome.

I can definitely see where the hate came from with most of these albums. In my eyes, I think most of them are pretty cool, especially Roots and Diabolus.

Glad seeing Are You Dead Yet getting some love. I think it was the first Bodom album I ever heard and over all I love it.

Sepultura has so many good albums but Roots is up there for me. The new Album Quadra is also amazing. But for their old sound Beneath the Remains is still my favorite.

In a separate comment, I'd like to say that Slayer's Bitter Peace is a strong contender for my favorite Slayer track. It's such an exciting track! I feel it encapsulates the band's career super well. The Thrashy stuff, the more groove-oriented stuff. It's all there. And Paul Bostaph's bass drum sounds delightfully heavy here. Damn!

I didn't even know Are You Dead Yet got hate. That's my favorite album of all time from my favorite band of all time!! Another bunch of albums that I think were overhated that I loved are Broken by Memphis May Fire, Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler by Waking The Cadaver, Tomorrow We Die Alive by Born of Osiris, In Becoming a Ghost by The Faceless and You Can't Stop Me by Suicide Silence

Opeth’s “Heritage” gets a lot of hate because it was their transitionary album from their death metal sound to their prog sound, but I love the experimental elements in it. “The Devil’s Orchard” and “Häxprocess” put you in a trance, and songs like “Nepenthe” and “Famine” prove that the prog sound can still be heavy.

I am a HUGE fan of the infamous Metallica album St. Anger. It has great riffs and it's raw as hell!

I was under the impression are you dead yet was one of their most loved albums. It gets the most love on spotify. And by all accounts a banging album.

Swansong was my first Carcass record and tbh this is my second favourite after Heartwork

Fear of the Dark is very overhated

Once More 'Round the Sun is in the top 3 of best Mastodon albums for me. Lots of super fun high energy songs that marry the old with the new.

The Faceless last album, In Becoming A Ghost, I really enjoyed. I also think As Blood Runs Black's Ground Zero album is better than what people say. I'm gonna also add Fallujah's Undying Light, and while I understand why people don't like it, I don't think overall as an album it's as bad as people say. And lastly, Trivium's Silence In The Snow.

When Roots came out I was 16 and my friends and I dismissed it because it wasn’t what we expected. Looking back I really enjoy it and can see we were closed-minded idiots who just wanted the same thing we’d had before and we’re afraid of anything culturally unusual to us.

Risk isn't a bad album. I genuinely like Diabolus in Musica. Good heavy album. Roots, for me, is an easy pick for least favorite Sepultura album. It doesn't straight suck or anything, I just like literally any and everything else they've ever done better. That's all I feel like commenting on.

I’ll never understand why Reroute and Are You Dead Yet took so much heat. Some of the finest metal of the 2000s imo. I don’t understand how Trigger and In Your Face alone couldn’t win fans over

I avoided St.Anger for soooo long thanks to the bad reviews. When i finally decided to take a listen i got immediately addicted to the energy. I don't care if the snare is making my eardrums bleed, i just love the energy (yeah the lyricst and songwriting are bland but in the context of the band in 2003 its actually not that bad.) I like being one of the few st anger enjoyers.

The hate for Slayer - Diabolus in Musica always seemed odd, still sounds very much like Slayer, not a band about to sell out.
