I think it's fair to say they'll never exceed The Blackening, but this is a very respectable release.

They already exceeded The Blackening with their vastly superior debut Burn My Eyes.

And this for sure!

Burn My Eyes

Nice Album, I like its Atmosphere.

For once, I agree that something isn't progressive. This is more like alternative + (groove) thrash.

This is probably the band's worst album from their "prog thrash" era...

To be honest there's not even much thrash left in this.

There's not much of anything left in this, except maybe length and singles.

My only suggestion to you is to work on your grammar, punctuation, capitalization and redundancy.

Insane yet still more articulate than you? I can live with that.

Lol, he just called you a Slipknot fan. Oh wait, you are one. I guess he was being nice after all.

Better than "dickhead." Though I'm sure there's a good band with a fanbase sporting that name out there.

Just about the perfect name for such a band! http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Stiff_Richard/3540338752

I highly expected it to be a grindcore band.

Just a couple of decent songs and that was it.

This one is such a dissapointment to me... Tough that they were going to do an album even better than Unto The Locust...
My favourite track must be In Comes The Flood becuse of taht awesome Unto The Locust feeling

Dissapointing compared with their previous opus. night of long knives my fav song...

Their most varied album, which also means it's one of the most inconsistent albums I have ever listened to. Some songs (Now We Die, Night Of Long Knives, Eyes Of The Dead) are among Machine Head's best, while others (Damage Inside, Imaginal Cells, Game Over) are garbage. The rest are very "meh", interesting concepts but they either overstay their welcome (hey look Machine Head's trademark) or take the wrong turn.

Machine Head are progressive thrash now, and have been since 2003? I didn't realise making songs that were too long to justify the content counts as progressive.

The Blackening was definitely progressive, agreed for the other albums though. How does Robb spend 20+ years in mainstream metal and still not see how pointlessly long their songs are?

great album.

Mixed feelings with this one. kind of letdown from the previous 2

This record bored me to tears.
