As the band defines it, it was written and composed in record time because it's basically a recording of the studio jams during the period of 3 month. It's the first album recorded with the new drummer Jean Dolabella and it sounds different from any other work by Sepultura. Following Iggor Cavalera’s departure in 2006, A-Lex will be the first Cavalera-less album in Sepultura’s 25 year career. The biggest issue here is to think of Sepultura as a band without Cavaleras. Yesterday I was surprised to look at the Cd's cover with the Sepultura logo emblazoned in it. For a few seconds I even thought this was a joke. After hearing this one, i feel like completely offended on the blatant mimicking, the singer sings just like Max just not quite as good, the guitar players plays just like Andreas just not as good, so I think you get my point. Not to say that A-lex is a bad effort or something, but i think this band cannot be compared with old Sepultura formation. Contain 17 tracks, certainly, just as great as Against, which I liked and as good as Dante XXI which I thoroughly enjoyed. A-Lex is a Russian expression that means ‘…no law’ and the record is inspired by Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. But still, i think it can not compared with old Sepultura's formation with Cavaleras brothers inside it. So, It’s up to the listener to decide whether they consider the current Sepultura line up as the real band.
