Upon looking at the diminishing returns that was The More Things Change, Machine Head decide upon a new course, one that ironically fits the title of their prior record perfectly; the more the band changed sonically, the more the law of diminishing returns was compounded. Read more ›› |

Yo-metal. I'm ashamed to say I liked this when it came out. I listened to some of it the other day just for nostalgia and hated every second of it.

Written by Big-Al on 13.02.2012 at 20:41 Same, this album is amazing and im not even into nu-metal atall. I can see why everyone else hates it and I wonder why I love it so much but I do. Best songs for me are: Message in a bottle (amazing cover totally owned it) Five Nothing left But with this album I love every song so any will do.

"From This Day" is one of the most embarrassing music videos I've ever seen. Pretty lame song, too.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 02.09.2014 at 03:49 I have a nostalgic soft spot for the self-titled track, but even then I'd still call it lame. This is just not a good album.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 02.09.2014 at 03:53 I know your thoughts on Machine Head but I do still like both The Blackening (in spite of it being too long for its own good) and Through the Ashes of Empires (in spite of the inconsistencies). Personally I've never considered any of their material great, but a lot of it simply decent or enjoyable.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 02.09.2014 at 04:04 It's more the kind of album I enjoy songs from, but not the entire album. Not unlike the rest of their discography, actually. There are always at least a few songs I end up skipping regularly.

Not a bad album... selling themselves out is not a good thing but at least they wrote some nice songs... silver and from this day are the best for me..

I'm familiar with The Blackening, Unto The Locust, and Catharsis. Decided to listen to all the Machine Head albums in chronological order because I've been reading all the reviews of their albums on here and revisiting/enjoying the two highly regarded aforementioned albums. I loved Burn My Eyes. I was disappointed and bored with The More Things Change... I went into this one after The More Things Change... feeling optimistic. A different style is sometimes the spark that a band needs to reëngage me, and it wouldn't be the first time I disagreed with a negative consensus on this site about a record. TLDR I think I prefer Catharsis to The Burning Red.
