    Rating:
    Latest ass-kicker from US trashers Machine Head, and it has evolved a lot from the previous albums. It's still very aggressive metal, but now closer to hip-hop/hardcore acts like Korn, Limp Bizkit etc.
    But metal fans don't be scared cause it stands miles above such crap, MH does the real thing - pure aggression combined with real talent. Robb Flynn still has a very aggressive tone on his voice, although he does a lot of clean vox here, more than on "The more things change" and it's just great - sometimes that style of his can be compared to american grunge bands such as Stone Temple Pilots among others.
    Most of the tracks here are great, even "Desire to fire" & "From this day" which both feature a bit of rap vocals. The best part is tracks 2-8 but I recommend you to check out the whole thing.
