Machine Head - The Blackening

[NAD]

Can anyone tell me about it? I haven't really listened to them in some time so I'm only going to bother if this one is worth paying attention to.

Their first two albums I can still dig, it's just been awhile since I have. The Burning Red sucked, and Supercharger was pretty bland. I really enjoyed the "return to form" album Through the Asses of Umpires, not as much as the first two but better than the rest.

haha, I remember the last time I was listening to Burn My Eyes I was flying down the freeway when during one of the last songs a siren came on and I thought the coppers were after me. What an idiot.

 

[NAD]

This thread won't receive much attention, and I must say that I'm bored, so I'm just going to get a little weird for a spell if nobody objects.

I wrote this survey for Myspork earlier today:

1. What are you listening to right now?

2. Does it rock fucking nuts?
Hell the shit yes. Least favorite Electric Wizard album but MAN O WOMAN does it still rule.

3. Do you think it's clever to say MAN O WOMAN like that?
Not in particular, but I do think this quiz just got a little mean.

4. Sorry about that, I'll be nicer next time.
...
That wasn't even a question.

5. Who is making this survey again?
ZAT YOU, SANTEE CLAUS?!?!

6. I suppose you think that's funny?
Yes. Now move on. Please.

7. What time is it?
2:40pm

8. Is that a good time... to die?
Not in particular, I mean it's sorta the boring part of the afternoon and I always hoped my death would be a little more exciting than just passing out in an office chair around 2:40pm on a Thursday.

9. Is it really your desire to suffer Death By Bear at 75 years old like you've joked about several times in the past?
Honestly, yes. If I make it that far I hope I'm not withering away into a poorly fitting rocking chair on some ungrateful son-in-law's porch, but rather fighting a barr to the death. My death that is. I mean come on, it's a bear. Those fuckers will kick your ass.

10. Right, I can understand that, but wouldn't you rather go out a little more peaceably? I mean death sorta sucks enough, wouldn't you like to just take a nap and never wake up?
I'm not really sure. I mean I gues it would be easier that way, but where's the fun? The heart? The soul? That kind of existence may be all well and good for Richard Simmons, but I'd go for something just a little different.

11. Are you trying to imply something about gay aerobic instructors?
There's nothing at all to be implied when your personage is akin to Big Gay Al. It's all on the table at that point.

12. Did you just accidentally type pint instead of point the first time?
Why yes actually, I must be thinking of knocking back a few. Hey I mean, this week has been pretty awesome and I think I've earned it. If not then what the hell was it worth shuffling my life all out of order, 6 ways from Sunday?

13. Granted that's a given, but wouldn't you rather celebrate with some whisky?
Honestly not right now, the weather is getting a little warm. I think something with gin would be in order, but that fucks me up with nasty heartburn if I have more than 2. Tom Collins, you are my arch nemesis.

14. What about a margarita? Some cheap tequila and Death Green of Death Flavor Sauce might do you good right about.
I'm not opposed to that, but I think I'll just have a few glasses of wine and then fall asleep in front of Family Guy.

15. Is Family Guy really all it's cracked up to be?
Honestly, no, but it is still quite enjoyable. When they are on, they are ON, it's just you have to wade through the shit to find it sometimes. Not unlike Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

16. Ever see that one with Danzig as the guest?
No not yet, and I just read that Tera Patrick also guest starred on that show. Good times!

17. Speaking of porn star sluts, did you finally jerk off at work today, for the first time at any job, ever?
Why yes! I'm quitting tomorrow and after 8 years, I was quite due for that. Sorta made a mess in the bathroom, whoops.

18. Whatever will you do for money?
I've decided to sell handjobs for crack.

19. (omitted)

I've heard a sample from an e-card but that's it. I'm not impressed, but then again i haven't listened to them since Burn My Eyes. It is the only album i like by MH and the others were rather blah to me.

 

[NAD]

I'm secretly in love with this bint:

She probably looks pretty chinky up close, but not like I'll ever care to get without a (mile long) stone's throw of her anyhow.

 

[NAD]

Wicked, cheers.

I'm not sure I can get myself to turn off Colour Haze right now to listen, especially since it's the title-track from Tempel, their GREATEST song ever, but I will in a few minutes!

 

[swizzlenuts]

It sucks, don't waste your time.

 

[NAD]

Hmm, this sounds like the old good Machine Head to me. At least Now I Lay Thee Down is pretty cool.

Problem is this type of stuff doesn't hold my interest for too long like it used to, not sure I'd want to actually purchase it.

 

[Carbonized]

Oh yea, damn... (picture of nameless female above)

RIGHT... ok, well don't feel obligated to listen hah. It's not like I'm trying to promote them Just thought I'd give the NAD-man something besides a YES IT RULES or NO IT SUCKS or what have you. Not that I could since I haven't heard it...

 

[NAD]

Oh fuckit, this is fine. If Robb isn't rapping, chances are it's worth at least getting to spin 10 times, enjoy, and then forget about until their next album comes out.

Oh yeah, the bint is Christine Mendoza, I think she's an import slut, or something. I like her boobs.

 

[NAD]

Ah, I see they have long hair again.

Sold.

Seriously though, in a weird sort of way, that actually matters. I don't know why.

 

[NAD]

Wow, that's really homoerotic.

 

[Carbonized]

lol, and I'm reminded of Jerry Cantrell's (I think) guitar saying, "friends don't let friends get haircuts". Oh, have you heard Volbeat? It seems like something you'd like.

 

[NAD]

haha yet one more reason why Jerry Cantrell > everything. Wait, wasn't that Mike Inez who had that sticker? I don't remember.

Volbeat, never heard the name.

 

[Carbonized]

hrm.. ok well, these guys I'll promote I dig 'em (not to be confused with the cereal) http://www.myspace.com/volbeat

 

[Nate The Great]

The Blackening is totally kick ass NAD. You will definitely like it. I'd say it is their second best (obviously behind Burn My Eyes). I've been a fan from the beginning of this band, and I can definitely say this one is total killage.

 

[unknown]

heh

my only beef with the machine head cd is Robb's vocals...they bother me for some reason

 

[Hell Mike]

Ah, I see they have long hair again.

Sold.

Because it tells us they realized something along the lines of "what the fuck have we been doing the last x years wtf lets stoip the gay and get back to heavy fuckin metal"

Cool. I completely dig The More Things Change as much as Burn My Eyes, in particular Blood of the Zodiac and Take My Scars.

Ah so. I LIKE it!

 

[J.]
