Do they have so far only good albums delivered my opinion (with momentum swings), excel with this disc again themselves. It noted that in the album they had a free hand and far from any commercial conventions to ignite an idea just so bubbly guitar fireworks. But the title "Wolves" contains more than 70 different riffs that should leave everyone Guitar Hero self-proclaimed Pale (!) - A lot of bands stretch such a number of ideas on a whole album, without reaching the pressure and Groove Machine Head. All in all, a lot of positive factors come together: Powerful sound, great songwriting, funky, fit interspersed solos duels, great drummer (DaveMcClain - with pinpoint accuracy, varied and multi-faceted studded), good singer (ok, sometimes the Shouting may well put or monotonous work, but Flynn has powerful and versatile voice independent character). It is often the rather inappropriate compared with (the life) of Metallica's Master of Puppets been augeworfen, one can rather say that The Blackening that's what the unspeakable St. Anger should have been. Here a few ideas are unnecessarily protracted, while Machine Head can hold even at 10 minutes lasting titles tension here. Even after an estimated 100 runs losing The Blackening little fascination. Probably the most important serious metal album of 2007.
