Album information

The album's title is actually (aum), as shown on the artwork, but it is often referred to as III (particularly in text) as it is simpler to read, write and type and can be represented in almost any font.

The symbol is sacred to the Hindu religion and is a recurring theme in many spiritual and meditative mantras. (pronounced aum or om) is considered to be a primal sound, which offers a link to Soulfly's previous album title, Primitive.

The album features a minute's silence entitled '09-11-01' - a tribute to the victims of the September 11th, 2001 terrorism acts on the World Trade Center.

Reception

This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. You can help by converting this section to prose, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (May 2008)

• Spin (8/02, p.110) - 6 out of 10- "There's something undeniably thrilling about an Ozzfest demagogue who champions dignity as a human right and makes a maxim like 'Faith is a weapon' his rallying cry...the band remains a hard-charging, tribal-drumming monster fierce enough to kick the bulldozers out of the rainforest....3 could be the charm for Soulfly."

• Alternative Press (8/02, p.67) - 7 out of 10 - "Streamlined and digestable...A impenitent tone is set from the start...enough to get the troops of doom marching once again."

• CMJ (6/17/02, p.16) - "This one is a winner; don't miss out."

• NME (6/22/02, p.52) - 6 out of 10 - "Another clench-jawed grind through seven kinds of hell...Soulfly must be the only band who can make the obligatory minute of Sept. 11th silence seem loud."
