Just stumbled across this randomly, used to jam out to this album back when it first came out and completely forgot it. That guitar riff at the beginning had me traveling back in time, epic.
YEEES, drumming on this record is absolutely insane🤘🤘🤘 Dave McClain is also a great drummer and fits in the Machine Head's music perfectly, but Chris's drumming on this album is from another world and gave to the music a lot of depth❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 One of my all time favorite albums which never gets old!!!
For me Best MH album, but even more : one of the best metal album of all time !!! Absolute banger ( 30 years old record that still sounds "modern metal" nowadays )
Machine Head's discog has been with very good highs (The Blackening; From the Ashes of Empire) and some questionable lows (Supercharger; Catharsis). But when in doubt if this band has ever Made anything worthy, that debut it still fire to this day. Nothing beats it.
Me too soon maybe- sometimes the pain is so great that you can not cry- you are shock frozen.Frozen tears cannot come out! I don't remember when I last cried. Many years ago. All the pain is stuck in my body heart spirit soul. Unspeakable Horror 😢😮😢😮
Bands like Prong, Rob Halford’s Fight, Machine Head, Nevermore, Black Label Society are much better than the overrated Pantera. The only good Pantera Groove Metal’s albums are “Cowboys” and “Vulgar Display” - In the rest they just focused in heaviness and noise (besides a lot of very annoying Phil Anselmo screams) rather than the music itself.
Cowboys was mostly crap actually when compared to vulgar display. Sadly he isn’t wrong that the rest that followed seemed to be stunted by an over indulgent need to satisfy with heaviness sacrificing the once creative grooviness
I love all those bands but Literally none of those bands are anywhere near Pantera. Pantera chose to play the way they did but could have played any style they wanted and been better than everyone around them
