Reception
Template:Album ratings Sales were down from their previous albums featuring Derrick Green on vocals. However, Roorback received positive reviews and placed on BillboardTemplate:'s Independent Music Chart at #17, with first-week sales of 4,000.[1] SoundScan reported on March 20, 2007 that Roorback had sold over 75,000 units in the United States.
Allmusic's Alex Henderson gave the album 4 stars out of 5 and said that "unrest and political corruption are recurring themes on Roorback", and "the songs that Sepultura wrote paint a consistently bleak and troubling picture of the world". Adrien Begrand from PopMatters called Roorback "their strongest effort in years" and "their most consistent and energized album since Roots".[2]
