    Great album. Brazilian band make a virtuoso work and show a great progress in each song. Metal, world music, classic music, jazz...We can listen several styles in "Quadra". The best metal album in several years!

    Um disco brilhante da maior banda de Trash Metal do Brasil. Um disco que respeita o passado e olha para o futuro. Figura como clássico junto à Arise, Chaos, Beneath e Roots. Técnico e divertido de se ouvir. Nunca enjoa.
    Grande atuação de todos da banda. Andreas mostra riffs criativos e a virtuose de sempre, Eloy destrói na bateria(com certeza um dos melhores do mundo no momento), Paulo    Um disco brilhante da maior banda de Trash Metal do Brasil.

    Grande atuação de todos da banda. Andreas mostra riffs criativos e a virtuose de sempre, Eloy destrói na bateria(com certeza um dos melhores do mundo no momento), Paulo mantem-se coeso no baixo, e Derrick mostra seu melhor trabalho nos vocais desde que entrou no Sepultura, mostrando guturais viscerais e uma voz mais limpa, e momentos mais melódicos.
    Letras com temáticas muito bem trabalhadas e muito atuais.
    Produção impecável de Jens Bohgren.
    Obrigatório na coleção de qualquer headbanger.    … Expand

    Such a masterpiece! Best Sepultura album in 27 years and the best metal album in at least 10 years.

    They'll never completely escape the past, but it sounds like they're finally at ease with it. [Apr 2020, p.82]

    The closest ‘Quadra’ comes to breaking new ground and entering unclaimed territory is the dramatic metamorphosis of Green’s voice during the nostalgic nu-metal hymn ‘Agony of Defeat’, not to mention the superb acoustic intro and the profane chorus of ‘Guardians of Earth’. More crucially, the samba drum-kit of ‘Capital Enslavement’ and the syncopated beat on ‘Raging Void’ shows that the idea of exploring percussive possibilities is slowly growing on them.

    If anything Quadra is even better [than 2017’s Machine Messiah], expertly filtering fresh textures (the fat synth that opens “Isolation” immediately raises an eyebrow, along with the Carl Orff-like chorale of “Last Time” and the Bollywood-ish orchestration of “Capital Enslavement”) into tightly coiled songs whose ferocity is comparable to Exhorder’s 2019 comeback Mourn The Southern Skies – albeit with a great deal more ambition and (effective) experimentation. [Feb 2020, p.56]
