After Burning Red comes this!

More songs, More ANthems, More Innovation. This was the album that got me into Machine Head. We got aggression anthems like Bulldozer, Schizophrenia anthems like "Crashing Around You" (caused Controversy after 9-11 however), hate anthems like "Nausea" (I wonder why they didn't play this live however,) A beautiful ballad which I LIKE, Deafening Silence, and of course, Life stories like my favorite song off the album AMERICAN HIGH! SO what if they went further into Nu-Metal? THEY STILL RULED!

First of all, any MH fan who doesnt like this cd isnt a MH fan at all. Supercharger is another leaf that a very personal and intense band has turned over.

1. Declaration- No grade, this is where MH declares war on everyone. Blends great w/ the next track.

2. Bulldozer-5/5 An amazingly heavy song which conveys the true essence of what Machine Head truly is.

3. White Knuckle Blackout!-5/5 Another in your face track. Very intense and just like a white knuckle black out. I love the title.

4. Crashing Around You- 5/5 This song is Robb Flynn pouring out his emotions on paper. You can basically hear his inner demons singing to him. Awesome music, guitar, bass, everything.

5. Kick You When You're Down- 4.5/5 I like this song a lot, it shows that MH can also be a very positive band. Great opening to it and awesome inspiring lyrics.

6. Only The Names- 5/5 A song about the abyss you will fall into while using drugs. Sums up what will eventually (or not so eventually) happen to you. Really nice progression.

7. All in your Head- 4.5/5 The coolest part of this song is the extremely quick pased verses and the soaring chorus. MH keeps the music hard and heavy the whole way thru.

8. American High- 4.5/5 A song about Robb Flynn's earlier years in high school. Its actually a pretty catchy song. Machine Head are a bunch of awesome and innovative musicians.

9. Brown Nausea- A break in which you hear a weird guitar noise followed by some chokes and gags, its pretty cool.

10. Nausea- 5/5 Another great example of how powerful MH is. A really crunchy and groovy song. Cool lyrics about being tired of someone.

11. Blank Generation- 5/5 Very awesome song about how our generation hasnt done anything special. Trademark MH sound, heavy guitars, you have Robb rapping a bit at the end, but its still rad.

12. Trephination- 5/5 Deals w/ thoughts of suicide and feeling like a freak. Great song, I love everything about this song, guitars, drums, INTENSE vocals by Robb whoa...

13. Deafening Silence- 5/5 A ballad, but w/ a MH twist. Great song writing, has some pretty deep meaning to it. I really like this song.

14. Supercharger- 5/5 The finale, and MH aims to please w/ this one. Extremely in your face, balls to the wall assault from Ahrue and Robbs' guitars. Everything about this song is energy.

Superstinker

I like 2 machine head albums, and their probly not the 2 you think. Burn My Eyes, and The Burning Red. The More Things Change is not a BAD album, but its pretty boring. I though Burn My Eyes was just an amazing peice of thrash metal, and The Burning Red had some wonderful melodic song work on it. I don't care what anyone says, the Buring Red Kicks Ass!! This album however, SUCKS HARD!!!
Not a single good song on here. It doesnt even feel like machine head! I'm not a huge metal head anymore but every now and then i listen to some of my old sutff, and I recelty listend to all my machine head albums and was reminded about how TERRIBLE this album was! It just seems so rushed, and warted down! I was hoping It was a joke. I hear they have a new one now thats suposed to be fantastic, so i gota check that one out. But yea, if your just getting in to MH STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!
