    The lyrics are primitive (no pun intended) and Max Cavalera seems to re-use ideas from his previous works. Some of the riffs sound uninspired and many of the songs outstay their welcome, mostly needlessly chugging on for five minutes or more despite little interesting going on within them. It's often difficult to distinguish one track from another. Cavalera and Soulfly are capable of better.

    Too many songs utilise the same plodding, mid-paced grooves and simple, one-line refrains. [5 Oct 2013, p.54]

    This is a welcome blast from an uncompromising band. [Nov 2013, p.93]

    Savages is a feisty record that returns to the familiar blend of hardcore, thrash and groove metal.
