I'm a 100% intellectual scumbag , this and Quadra are my favourite Sepultura albums because I miss Sepultura's artistic point of existence entirely and like Prog metal and Metal fusion with other genres.

I mean, they're fucking amazing albums. What's not to like, if you like metal at all?

The calavera brothers are more about downtuned guitars and grooves, and by having my favourite Sepultura albums' musical centerpieces being Brazilian Tribal music and a potpourri of modern and progressive metal styles, I feel like I miss the point of the musical expression purpose of the band.

Fair enough!

We dig what we dig, you dig?

I reckon it's akin to any band that shifts their style for a given reason. Metallica is an okay example. After AJFA, they changed. A lot tbh. But even AJFA was a big shift from their first three. So it makes sense that someone deep into thrash and what thrash is about would be less into the band's later stuff. And I don't think that's missing a point. It's just being into something specific rather than excluding something else.
