The Blackening - Machine Head

*

Machine Head's 2007, "The Blackening", is yet another "wannabe-thrash" effort. Nothing has changed from their first record in 1993. Robb Flynn's voice is still atrocious beyond belief, all the solos are bland and boring, the songs are still far too long, and the overly conventional song structure, obviously catering to the "14-year-old scene-kid" crowd, remains prominent. The Blackening tries to pass itself off as an "angry" album, with an equally "angry" frontman, but ultimately fails at what it attempts and becomes too long, generic and not worth the purchase at all.
