I’ve never heard Bodies before, but I’m not planning to start now: Roots Bloody Roots is an all-time classic.

I really can't stand it, but how do you not vote for it?

I guess one of those things that just doesn’t translate over here, like Dave Matthews Band or Rush.

Anyway, I listened to it now: nope, never heard it.

I like how they think chanting numbers and the same line over and over again actually constitutes as a verse.

Somehow I remembered "Bodies" being a lot heavier than what I just heard

Boy this Sepultura song takes me back. I remember my metal-loving cousin playing this cassette tape and freaking me the fuck out as a 12 year old whose idea of "heavy music" was the breakdown in Green Day's "Welcome to Paradise"

They are widely regarded as one of the first nu-metal bands

I've listened to them since the early 90s, and that's the first I've heard of it. Not that I don't believe you, but it's ridiculous. Beneath the Remains, Arise and Chaos A.D. are easily their best albums.

At least with this song, it makes complete sense. Musically they have a lot in common

Roots is the only album people are referring to

Yeah, I should say, Sepultura as a whole was probably not a nu-metal band, but Roots was one of the first and most influential nu-metal albums.
