Machine Head - Unto the Locust

This makes the new Anthrax seem like Green Day.

Pretty much the fastest, most aggressive Machine Head yet. Relentless thrash assault. Not as much heavy/crunchy groove as some previous albums. Most thrash type sound of anything they have done. Look forward to listening to this one a bunch of times to really understand it.
 
This is the End would be so much better if there wasn't so much clean singing

I hear the new machine head, is a great album, but never better than WM.


is not be faster or slower, is to make better music
 
I just posted my full review over at my blog.

Here I will just say, sorry Anthrax while I love Worship Music, Unto The Locust is the metal album of the year. Simply epic.

Yup. I always found Machine Head sounding a bit "forced". Bought their debut album, and was really into it for a while. Kinda just grew tired of it after a while, so I didn't by the follow up nor any of their nu metal albums.

Had a listen to their new one, and was blown away! It's fantastic, and even if I love WM I'd say that Machine Head's latest is a wee bit better.
So I've bought Burn My Eyes again as well as The Blackening. Had a quick listen to The Burning Red and that other rap metal album as well, but I still don't like them so I'll pass on those. Next I'm gonna find out if I can get into Through the Ashes of Empires which I belive is considered a return to form by those "in the know".

Through the Ashes of Empires is a good one. I think I like the Blackening a bit more but they are both really good. It's definitely not a nu metal/ rap metal album like the garbage before it

Machine Head are proving to be one of the best metal bands in recent history imo. They had a few bad albums but the past 3 have been stunning. I'd love to see those guys tour with a band like Testament and just kill the entire audience.
 
i really liked the more things change,havent really bothered with any of there other stuff,to me they r a snd rate pantera but i will check it out and get back to u lol
