Album information
The album's title is actually 
(aum), as shown on the artwork, but it is often referred to as 3 (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."
