3. Machine Head, Supercharger

Machine Head first made waves in metal with their debut album, 1994’s Burn My Eyes. However, the band started to lose their thrash edge with each following album, until they went completely nu metal with 1999’s The Burning Red. 2001’s Supercharger, though, saw Machine Head try even harder to win over mainstream metal during a time when rap metal was already on the way out. The album proved to be such a disaster that Roadrunner Records even dropped the band for a short time (only to resign them not too long after). On the plus side, the failure of Supercharger made Machine Head refocus on writing music they actually wanted to make. And thus came 2003’s Through The Ashes Of Empires, which gave way to the Machine Head we know and love today.

    Ozzy’s my favorite musician and even I’ll agree that Down To Earth and most of Black Rain weren’t up too par with the rest of his catalog. However,   Scream is probably one of my favorite albums by him; right behind No More Tears, Blizzard, and Diary. Anyway, I’m just glad you didn’t put Sabbath’s “Never Say Die” album on here, it may not be close to their best but it is a original-lineup Black Sabbath album, nothing beats that.

    Of course it says you could do a “Top 5 Disappointing Albums” on Metallica. Everyone is dissing on them and it’s absolute crap. Last time I checked they were in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But who cares what I say. I’m only a 13 year old girl. Nothing else matters.. :/

  • Kylesa’s new album, Ultraviolet, is streaming online at Pitchfork. Check out the album, as well as some pretty awesome visuals, here. The album will come out on May 28 on Season of Mist.

  • Unsigned & Streamed vets Anciients, who’s Season of Mist debut Heart of Oak is out now, have landed the opening slot on the Lamb of God tour. They’ll be playing from May 16 – June 10. Check out the dates here.

  • Sinestra Studios (who very often provides Metal Insider with some killer live photos) is hosting its very first art galleria and metal show on Saturday, May 25, at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets for the event are onsale now.

  • Louna has premiered a new music video for the song “Business” with Crave Online. The extravagant and politically themed music video comes in support of  the Russian hard rock group’s new album, Behind The Mask, available now via Red Decade Records and MEG/RED.

  • Unsigned & Streamed alum Pheroze has released a video for the song “Today I Belong To The Dead.” The song appears on Pheroze’s recently released EP, Ennui.
