Both of those bands are shining examples of the meathead lyricism strain in metal that tends to give the whole genre a bad image.

thats half the reason i get annoyed by all these people (mostly on blabbermouth.net) who keep bitching at sepultura for not doing a reunion with max cavalera. have these people actually heard what he's been releasing for the past 7 years?
lyrically, his work has decended into a mire of two line songs and the same old tired "tribe" "what goes around" "eye for an eye" "god the most high" cliches that were simplistic when he first adopted them all that time ago and borderline moronic now.
musically, soulfly have been pretty stagnant too. i'm not saying all there albums sound the same, it's just that they seem to clinging to the nearest trend in metal at the time. for example primitive found itself very much in numetal waters and newie dark days appears to have fully adopted the current metalcore blueprint, in a desperate bit for credability.
it's incredible to think that really max cavalera and soulfly are still trading upon the reputation and popularity of Roots and Chaos AD, whereas sepultura themselves have continued trying to evolve their sound with every album.
they may not be as successful as they once were, not every stylistic change has worked and derrick green might not be to everyone's taste but with this new album Dante XXI they have shown that they are brave and talented enough to make these changes work and they have shown who truly is the superior band artistically.

Storm Rider:
Arise and Beneath the Remains are pretty much the only really good Sepultura albums. I haven't heard Dante XXI yet, but considering everything after Chaos A.D., I don't have my hopes up.
KharBevNor:
Having seen both live recently, I'd say Sepultura are much better than Soulfly, though there was this sort of Metal Samba thing Soulfly did that was pretty classy. I don't really listen to either band. I went to the Soulfly concert to see Skindred.
Now, Skindred, that's a good band. About as tr00 metal as the popes left testicle, but great fun.
Kai:
You'd be suprised how tr00 the pope's left nut really is. It's all like, "FACEPAINT KRIEG RAAAAAAURGH". THe right one likes to seperate itself from it's smaller twin as much as possible.

To quote Helloween, "Heavy Metal is the law."
