Pressure/Hopenosis Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 So I've seen a lot of Machine Head posts here. I've never listened to them so I'm going to give it a go. Question for all of you: Do they have a "hit" album like Rush had Moving Pictures? What I mean by that is something less experimental and more straight forward, in your face?

I guess you could try their first album Burn My Eyes if you're looking for something more straightforward from them. But Through The Ashes Of Empires, The Blackening and Unto The Locust are considered their best albums in general. The Blackening is widely regarded as their masterpiece. Machine Head is always in your face though. They're aggressive, heavy and yes, can be a bit experimental. Think if Pantera added progressive elements into what they did.

I first saw Machine Head at OzzFest. I ran out and bought Burn My Eyes and The More Things Change. VERY HEAVY 3

I'd put Bloodstones And Diamonds way above Locust and Ashes.

They did almost all of these tunes even better on the following tours in 73 and 74. I will regularly play one of the four discs from The Great Deceiver box set instead of LTIA or SABB
yyz305 Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 "Dream On" and "Revolution" are interesting additions. 1
Super25Smasher Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Since Friday: The Wonder Years - No Closer To Heaven The Wonder Years - Sister Cities The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever Tokyo Monsters - Long Time Coming The Home Team - Slow Bloom The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (again) EP, I think you might like this album from The Home Team. Their first album was more straightforward pop punk, but this new one is like a mix of indie pop and metal. I just saw last night, opening for Real Friends and With Confidence. They signed my vinyl, and I got to meet them. 1
Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 3, 2022 Author Posted October 3, 2022 Triumph - Just A Game Styx - Crash Of The Crown (these next three in the background during DnD) Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes Camel - The Snow Goose Yes - Relayer and first time listen just now for AFI - The Art Of Drowning that was awesome! 4

It’ll be on my list with the new Megadeth, the new Ozzy, and this The Dear Hunter album a local friend recommended to me to get to quickly. 1
bluefox4000 Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 Smashing Pumpkins-Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (9/10) I remember finding this in one of my bro's old CD books. it's big it's bloated it's loud. But i can't tell you how many vacations i brought this on and just got lost in it. SP is an underrated band with me. Mick 3

I also randomly own a copy of Monument To And Elegy but I never listen to it. It’s okay. 2

But I am staying far away from that cover of Landslide, possibly the worst cover I've ever heard from a professional musician. 1
