It's this that's stopping me from voting. For me it's classic because it was one of my first metal albums, but that's obviously an opinion coloured by nostalgia. I was like 13. |

I mean, clearly in terms of sales and reputation (and quality, I think) it deserves to be labelled as a Metal Classic - but is it a MetalReviews.com CLASSIC? Plus, Sepultura have a fair few CLASSIC slots already... |

I wouldn't say it's a classic. IMO opinion it is a great album, I absolutely love those tribal influences, but a classic? No. It's a cornerstone in their discography, most definitely. But looking from this site's perspective it's just a great nineties metal album. |

Well, I remember having a similar discussion about Korn's debut classicness... The decision back then was: Korn is a classic, but not a MR classic. This album deserves the same. (And I'm comparing the circunstances, not the album. Roots is 100000 times better than Korn's debut, but 100000 times worst than BtR o Arise). |

No. Do you guys need some suggestions? Because the criteria needed to be met in order for the coveted classic label should be more than years lapsed. Unless, of course you mean a classic example of a once great band starting to suck more than a Hoover De Luxe in the hands of an OC speedfreak. Seriously, an archive? Why not, but dear Goat, 'tis not a classic. |

Do you guys need some suggestions? The request's zone is full of CLASSICS. Angel Witch and Thin Lizzy, for example. |

It wasn't at the top of my list for classic picks, I admit. But in terms of reviewing the Seps back catalogue - something that should be done, as with other 'big name' bands - it's interesting to see peoples' views as to whether it deserves a classic tag. I'm not saying that it would be bumped in front of other classics requested (Thin Lizzy, as Ganesh mentioned) but I do think we need to take note of readers' views on the subject. Pretty unanimous so far, heh. |

A resounding Nay. I gave this album away with my Korn albums many years ago. |

Schizo needs to be made a classic,but this certainly does not. |

The last great Sepultura release for me anyway, I spent many hours listening to this when it came out, it rocked. |

Fuck no. I hate Sepultura. Even from an objective view I say fuck no. God I had to listen to this shit in highschool with some of the guys who I hung out with who told me that like Soilwork and In Flames was " happy metal " and that Satyricon was sacrificial cult music. |

See, now in the review I can say 'a recent poll of MetalReviews.com forumites found overwhelmingly that this album is not considered worthy of classic status.' |

In Flames is boring. Sepultura is far from it. |
