Review:
The major label debut. This album sort of bridges the gap between the less-polished SST records and the metal/grunge that was to come with the next 3 albums. Still an amazing piece in its own right, they even poke fun at the innuendo-laden hair metal of the day with the hilarious ‘Big Dumb Sex’.

Review:
The first full-length, this cemented SG as one of the poster children of the Seattle scene, before there was a scene, and 2 years before Nirvana. While cheaply produced
the album captures the raw screams of Cornell and the dexterity of Kim Thayill’s guitar work.

Review:
This CD combines the first two EP releases from SG onto one disc. Definately rougher sounding than later albums, these tracks show the roots of what would become one of the best grunge bands of the 90’s.

Review:
Max and co. are back with your typical Soulfly offering, only its the hardest and heaviest one to date. While Prophecy was a little more experimental, Dark Ages is a full-out assault on the senses. As a couple of reviews have said, this album is probably as close as Max is going to get to playing Sepultura-type songs with Soulfly, and that’s not necessarily bad. Some of the songs do tend to run together, but on the whole, the album is pretty good.

Review:
I have a bad habit of buying Soulfly albums just as the next one is about to come out. I waited until this was about to come out to buy 3, and now Dark Ages is set for release about a month from now, and I’m finally picking up Prophecy. I like this better than 3, but then again, it’s a Soulfly album, and they all pretty much sound the same. Interesting to note about this album is that part of it was recorded in Serbia.

Review:
The third disc continues the tradition of the first two, but has a bit less of world instrumentation,in favor of more straight ahead metal. I still like the first album the best, but this one comes in a close second.

Review:
The 2nd Soulfly outing was a little more varied than its predecessor, slowing things down a touch at times. More guests on this album, even including a collaboration with Sean Lennon. I own the digipak version with two extra live tracks and two remixes.

Review:
Before they were Greenwheel, they were Soma Holiday. This independent CD was re-released by the band, and they remixed and remastered it, so it sounds a lot better. You can tell that this is a band finding it’s feet, and it shows the promise that was realized on the Greenwheel debut.
