That may be why Robb Flynn chooses to launch a major stir by showing a very disctincte way his penchant for American hip-hop and all that follows. From there, the finished looks and power trends or hardcore metal, benefiting sequined suits, near singing hip-hop and other neo-metal digressions. That's it, the word is out!
Indeed, The Burning Red is the first album Machine Head to go over in the neo-metal category. Supercharger try it later even more, creating de facto commercial slap Machine Head on this album (250,000 sales only) and then returning to the more serene heavy.
But back to Burning Red. If you listen from a distance, it is filled with extrêmemnt catchy titles, but the intensity was much stronger with another mix. Enter The Phoenix was the intro of Machine Head concerts in 1994. Desire to Fire and Nothing Left plunge us directly into the sound and atmosphere of neo-metal Burning Red. Things a little more serious start with the Blood, the Sweat, the Tears, taken from an American expression meaning the difficulty in performing an action. Should we find a sign? From This Day will not leave a lasting impression, unlike Exhale The Vile and his very successful intro with drums and above all a very heavy atmosphere, very brutal, the good old Machine Head in short. This same atmosphere will be found on the two pieces that are very I Defy and Five. Moving quickly on the resumption of Police who is pathetic, but is recovered by Devil With The King's Card is a song in tribute to the stormy relationship between Flynn and Mader clot ... The title track album in a rather successful.
While thinking? It must first give a chance to Burning Red. The first half is a little soft, but the second is excellent if you zap Message in the Bottle. As on previous albums, rabies Machine Head is present, but in a disguised form. Anyway, listen to the words, we easily feel that this album had to be given birth in pain ...
