After hearing like 1000 times The Blackening and like every fan from Machine Head, the question was "what will be next?" and it is now answered.
For those who are not familiar with Machine Head, this whole post is quite pointless, but I have to say that this was the biggest album in '00s decade, for many reasons.
There is one thing I love about Robb and the band: They are one of the few that didn't loose their minds with fame, money... He is still just a man sick of a decadent world. This fact, makes their music so special.
Then came a lot of news from this band saying that they are making their best with this new album and later first press reviews saying that somehow, they made it. They made even a better album.
I have to recognize that I absolute believed it, and I bought the album on-line with T-Shirt and bonus DVD for a reasonable price of 25€. The first thing that pissed me off was that I wasn't unable to buy any other thing to take advantage of the shipping cost, 6€. But the good news was that I could download the album the day before it goes out.
Yesterday I saw fan reviews from the whole album and I was like WTF? It can't be. As always, the release date is like 10 days later in Europe. I searched a download link and I started to listen. Loud, idle and relaxed.
1 time... 2 times... 3 times... a couple of songs... Production, great. Technique, great. Riffs, awesome and innovative.
However there is something missing, I do not feel the connection anymore like I did with "Halo" or "Aesthetics of hate".
It is a huge disappointment. Everybody is like "Oh! Best album ever!" ...and I just don't get it. I might expected too much or somethings wrong with me. Although I see it is actually a good work, I didn't enjoy it so much. There are a couple of things that I do not like. Rob's voice in "This is who we are"'s intro, quite estrange after children's singing. I miss in general some melodic stuff.
Whatever... I do not really now why I am complaining. I'm not sure about if it is their best album, but it is FUCKING A
