The album was critically and commercially less successful than previous Sepultura albums, as many fans were still coming to terms with the absence of Max Cavalera from the band. AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, and gave an optimistic note of the band’s future by stating that “there are enough flashes of the old Sepultura brilliance to suggest that great things are still to come”.

Nation would be the first album that Green would take part in the writing process for, from beginning to end. He decided to move to São Paulo to be closer to the group and work on the new material. Nation, the band’s eighth album with Roadrunner Records, was released in 2001 and sold poorly. Allmusic.com gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and said, “As Green scrapes the lining of his vocal chords through the brash, impassioned tracks, he’s singing about more than just ‘one tribe, Sepulnation’; he’s suggesting something bigger, something worth shouting about and fighting for”. In an interview, Derrick said about the album that “every song will be related to the idea of building this idea of a positive nation. We will have our own flag, our own anthem, our own army”.
