The band states the album "features 18 songs in 60 minutes total playtime and it's a milestone in Sepultura's career.

The tracklisting is as follows:

A-Lex I:
1. "Moloko Mesto"

Should I be nervous? Naw, probably not, I hope it's good. What I'm really wondering is: why is the album named in Russian? Just curious.

The old Sepultura definitely wouldn't have been the right band to portray the psychosis of a movie like A Clockwork Orange. If the new Sepultura really doesn't sound anything like the old, maybe they can pull it off?

I maintain that Derrick Green brought something new to the band which I really enjoy and I also think that if Max had stayed in Sepultura, people would have started to criticize them for the repetitive themes and lyrics. Don't get me wrong, Sepultura are one of my favourite bands and I love Soulfly and enjoyed Nailbomb and Cavalera Conspiracy, but to me the constant repetition of lines like "Now I f*** up!" get really annoying. By having Derrick in the band, the lyrics can go anywhere which is why I believe lyrically, they will pull the album off very well. I'm expecting a darker version of Dante XXI musically, a bit of Celtic Frost influence perhaps? Either way, I really can't wait for this album, especially since I love concept albums.

By the way, the titles in Russian because the main character in Clockwork Orange is called Alex, so it's pretty fitting.

I do get lery of new Sep. I am not sure that they would have continued with their same themes as no one can say for cirtian that they would stay the same. Though, Diamone you are right about Calvera Conspiricy and could very well be right on the money. Still even being lery of the new Sep will give it a chance.
