This album got quite a lashing from the metal press on it's release but in my eyes it is possibly Machine Head's finest hour. Words cannot describe how amazing this album is. Songs such as 'Nothing Left' and 'Exhale The Vile' to name just two roar with such fury but tracks such as 'Silver' and the title track just show case how beautiful and touching this band can get without displacing the foreboding sense of anger, loss and frustration that burns at the heart of this album.
What is the burning red though? the seething red raw anger? the red lust of the slightly gothic melodic touches? the colour of robb flynn's throat after coming out of the vocal booth?
To be really critical, I wasn't as much a fan of 'from this day' and 'message in a bottle' (the two most famous tracks from this CD) and dave mcclain's piston like drumming seems a small bit restrained alot of the time, but the rest of the disc makes up for it in such a way you can't imagine.
This music is simple emotional elevation as much as it is searing body blows. woah.

this album is simply fantastic. except a dubious cover of police's message in a bottle. some folk have critizisd it for being rap metal, but there is only two songs that could fall ito this catagory, and they are both awesome, like the rest of the album.

here we go, Machine Heads third release and quite a shock i will admit, but that dosent take from the greatness of it. any fan of Machine Heads previous releases will feel the same, they werent expecting this album to be like this, it seems Machine head had taken a more Nu metal route with added rap elements with this release and i believe they did a good job to. It showed me they can change thier style and still be successful at it. This album is very dark and personal for the frontman which is not so strong in the previous releases and that also makes me think this album is more unique for them. I wont get into a review of every track, i will let you decide for yourself and form your own opinion, but if you are not into Nu metal then this album is not for you, but at the same time this album is more than typical Nu metal because it has a few diffrent styles in it and more complex in my opinion. definantly worth a listen and you can pick it up for only a few quid so it wont break the bank.
peace out and hope you enjoy.

shocking
After the first two exceptional outings, MH took a very strange turn and this offers nothing other than some very poor nu-metal rantings. Read more

Not all it's hyped to be really.....
Many times I have heard this album hailed as a classic.....hmmm, it really is far from it. Actually it's so poor it's unlistenable, you may give it the odd spin every so often but... Read more

Machine Head step up a few levels!
This, being Machine Head's 3rd album, is amazing! It may not be as raw and unprevoked as Burn My Eyes and The More Things Change... were but it still smashes your head to a pulp! Read more

Stupidly under-rated - this album's brilliant
Ok, so it's going to be difficult for The Head to create another album of the quality of either Burn My Eyes or The More Things Change. But they've had a bloody good go at it. Read more

In case you were staying away from this band because you heard the were 'Rap Metal', then I urge you to think again. Machine Head DO NOT RAP. Read more

Fantastic album, especially 'Message in a Bottle'...magic!
A nice solid album from the masters of rap-metal. Machine Head can mix the best of both to create fantastic songs such as 'From This Day' which is a timeless classic, and 'The... Read more

This is a brilliant metal release, and contains all the makings of a classic. This was the first Machine Head album I bought, as I didn't like the first two that much, though now... Read more
