... And Machine Head blooming for the second time in a very large. Truly a great comeback of musical presumed dead. This CD is for the hammer debut already the next milestone of this band, surpassing "Burn My Eyes" when it comes to perfection and presentation even more. When it comes to music it has again taken a step back, or we express it positively: Machine Head reflect here on their roots and their very great strength, namely to play uncompromising, demanding, critical thrash metal. With their new-metal phase they have certainly quickly gained new fans, but with such an album can certainly be even in ten years to inspire his followers and to have reached the status of the more memorable. So run over a disc on the spot, the two openers could be the yardstick by which to measure Machine Head and other genre musicians in the future. Equally good are the hateful confrontational, Left Unfinished ', and, Elegy', a settlement with our self-indulgence. "Acid rain cries her pain / Full Bloom, a world gone insane / Her anger the flower / Plays God with all of our lives / A requiem / Earth belong not to you / All We Belong to her " Track numero five is seen by many as the reference par. I can understand that, the song is convincing in every respect. Best times listen to get an idea of the album. "Days Turn Blue To Gray" is also awesome, very profound song, lyrically and musically a very big achievement. Another highlight is in my opinion, Wipe The Tears'. The song is about disappointment, setback and disillusion, and acts at the same time encouraging and depressing. Here this song very personally appearing is emotionally extremely authentic 'over, so he simply fascinated. "Ask me how it feels / To feel like you're a failure / When Everything that's real / Burns The Flame in Anger / I've Heard It All Before / I've felt some pain and more / More than You Could Ever Dream / More than it probably Seems ... I will fight for what I love / And I will fight For Those I care / I want to fight at anytime / And I will fight anywhere / With my heart Aimed at This World / Destiny I watch unfurl / I'll wipe away the tears " This album is worth a lot to me, just because of the intensity of concern with Rob Flynn and Co. the matter. Lyrics and statement come along very believable, perhaps even convincing to the listener. A masterpiece and my personal album of 2003! "Do not give in / Do not give up".
