Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 9/28/00, pp.53-4

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Old-school...Primitive is deeper...in the sound of [ex-Sepultura frontman] Max Cavalera's lived-in growl, the churning effect of a 4-string guitar and his concerns..."

Q - 11/00, pp.114-6

3 stars out of 5 - "...While [their] percussive, ethnic grooves certainlymake an impact, it's only when Cavalera allows his formula to be altered by others that sparks truly fly..."

Alternative Press - 11/00, p.128

3 out of 5 - "...With pre-millennial speed metal rubbing elbows with hip-hop, excursions into ambient instrumentals and acerbic soul, and a host of guests...PRIMITIVE is certainly a record [with] breadth..."

CMJ - 8/28/00, p.32

"...More relaxed than their debut, the low-end slaughterhouse riffs are still embellished with Cavalera's beloved tribal percussion....[It] locks its teeth into the jugular..."

Melody Maker - 10/10/00, p.50

4 stars out of 5 - "...The metal album of the year so far....An incendiary blend of nu-metal, reggae and Brazilain rhythms..."

NME (Magazine) - 11/4/00, p.46

7 out of 10 - "...Draws on Max's political rage at colonial history and crimes of the conquistadors....the heavy metal Bob Marley..."
