"1994... corruption, racism, hate. The church has failed... If Jesus came down, he'd be shot…"

This is the scenery, this is the reality. Welcome to the experience that visioning Thrash Metal through Machine Head's burned eyes is. Zenith of a relatively controversial fusion of conservative postures and modern approaches (which doesn't always have to mean alternative), I still get impressed of how successfully heavy and intense this album is, several years and listens later. During that time much has passed but its essence persists, which is, by itself, a fact that makes anything not recent interesting.

  The riff from Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies just stays in your head first listen. Just adore the song for some odd reason.
"America has to go through some type of... radical change."

  Seeing as this band are the main headliner of Bloodstock this year, I thought I'd listen to this for the first time in many years... had to skip through most the tracks. I'm sure I used to like it more...

  The only song I actively listen to these days is "Davidian", although I'm thinking maybe I should return to this properly and listen to the entire thing. It's been like four years since I actually sat through this in its entirety. Or three years, can't remember.

Rating: 8 I like a lot and find AWESOME the moments that the band becomes "fast and furious" on this album but on their usual tempo i tend to find this one a bit boring. i like it's sound but probably it's not my style...

Rating: 10 Best Machine Head album hands down. I know since "The Blackening" came out everyone has been saying that it's their best album. That might be the case if they never heard this album. In my opinion "Burn My Eyes" destroys "The Blackening", definitely faster and heavier. There are some songs that start off slower but then pick up; None But My Own, I'm Your God Now, and the amazing A Nation On Fire... Check it out.

Rating: 7 Its a great album but for me as the album goes on the songs get weaker. Don't get me wrong its still a great album.

Best songs are the First 3 for me:

Davidian (amazing song)
Old
A thousand lies

  Excellent album. Machine Head gave a little bit Pantera and Sepultura to their sound and released a great modern sounding thrash release. Its their best album, so far.

Songs get weaker?? I'm not sure what you mean by that because songs like Block and Blood For Blood are some of the heaviest songs on the album. Even songs like A Nation on Fire and I'm Your God Now start off slow but pick up toward the end. It's chaos at the end of A Nation on Fire.

yeah I wrote that a bit prematurely since then I have gotten into the album a lot more and I agree with you there. It turns out I was mistaken.

Rating: 9 An almost flawless debut album. So many killer tracks here. Excellent Groovy thrash metal from start to finish.
