This album is fantastic!

Well worth the wait!

Tracks of note... all of them but i particularly like Halo and Aesthetics of Hate! :eek:

Hope all who have purchased this album of delight are enjoying it as much as me!

Im a good lad, i wait till official releases!

It's got a bonus making of DVD which should be interesting to watch once i get around to it. Either way, BUY IT

What im kind of wondering at the moment is.... am i the only one whose actually bought this!?

Just listening now. Very reminiscant of the seminal 'Burn My Eyes' days...i.e a true return to form!

Its very good and pretty consistent, but is missing the one major stand out track like Imperium from Through Ashes...

The standout track is... the whole thing!

Although for me as i mentioned before Halo is a particular fave, but they're all bloomin' great, its indeed a true return to form, TTAOE i cant listen to the whole way through, gets a bit samey, where as this i have listened to whole way through 8-9 times already

I've finally listened to this album and I think it's brilliant. In parts it sounds like burn my eyes era MH but also has an old skool thrash sound to it. Definitely a lot better than TTAOE and I'm really looking forward to seeing them at Download now :cool:

Not really into metal anymore, but Machine Head were one of my fav bands when I was a teen.

Caught a 90's metal hour on Scuzz earlier, Pantera, Sepultura, early Fear Factory... I had my air guitar out and everything!

I don't know what it is really, but i just love the "sound" of Machine Head, they encompass everything about the sound of heavy metal to me, the drumming, the vocals... its just brilliant. I mean, admittedly, i have heard better, but they are just... well... METAL!!!

Edit..

Although i have to admit, i have discovered i really dont like the track "wolves", it saddens me to say, it just doesnt do it for me.
