5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Metal Albums, Period........2007-03-07

Machine Head's 1994 debut stands the test of time as one of the best debut metal albums ever, and as a classic example of how powerful metal can be. An absolute classic in the genre which has withstood the test of time...even Machine Head can't replicate the pure fury of this album.

If the one-two punch of album-opener "Davidian" and second track "Old" won't convince you of the sheer heaviness and intensity of this band; nothing will. I still get chills over how cool "Old" is when I listen to it...genius metal songwriting. The vocals aren't quite as good as many of the more polished current metal releases out today, but are nothing to dismiss, and become sort of secondary to the righteous indignation of the political and social commentary of the lyrics and the crushing thunder of the uber-heavy riffs, many of which are quite complex, and lay down serious groove. This album signalled the beginning of metal trying to throw off the whole grunge scene and step it up to the next level...the roots of the modern "extreme" metal scene. Very cool, and still amazing after all these years. If you are a metalhead and don't own this disc, shame on you.

2 out of 5 stars pointless music with no heart.......2006-09-01

Metalcore - the epitome of mainstream garbage that Americans love.

Pass on this and move onto bands that matter; such as Kreator, Death, Dismember or Suffocation.

5 out of 5 stars A classic to throw up the horns to.......2006-08-03

I couldn't leave you with a poor MH CD without making up for it with a good one. The band will probably never match up to the debut. This CD has it all: crushing riffs, quirky, cool solos, agressive vocals, heavy bass, and powerful drumming. Standout tracks include "Davidian", "A Thousand Lies", and "Nation on Fire". If you want an alternative to Pantera(though I don't know why you'd want that), then check this out. If you want old-school, killer metal, then you should also check this out.

5 out of 5 stars Sorry, But 'Burn My Eyes' Isn't 5 Star Material You Morons.......2006-04-23

It's 5.196 star material (the extra .196 comes from adding pi/16 to 5.)

Onto less stupid antics, 'Burn My Eyes' really is everything most say it is: a classic that, unfortunately, Machine Head will unlikely ever surpass or even match. One reason this album is great is because even now (12 years later), there is little in the metal field that is similar to it. It possesses a technical intensity that transcends most nu-metal, yet it isn't like many other talented metal bands who are so bogged down with their music that it's hard to listen to (like death metal tends to be.)

Instead, 'Burn My Eyes' is a nostalgiac version of 80s metal, but with a more modern and evolved sound than most 80s metal. It is aggressive enough to be taken seriously as a modern metal band, yet structured enough to always provide the listener with a clear sense of purpose in each song.

One great feature of this album is the innovative combination Machine Head pioneered with quiet, slow melody and faster, more-aggresive thrash. Songs like 'I'm Your God Now,'Death Church,' and 'None But My Own' are good examples of this. They start off quietly, then just when you think the song is going to be boringly slow the whole way through, it piques your interest by getting louder and becoming angrier. These songs alternate between softer melody and louder aggression until they more or less climax with the aggression at the end.

There are, however, other songs, such as 'Blood for Blood,' and 'Block,' which are fast through almost the entire song, and others, such as 'Old' and 'Davidian' which are a bit slower for their duration (but not by much.)

Lastly, this is one of two albums where vocalist Robb Flynn's voice is actually decent (as his voice seems to only get worse with each release.) He is more than capable of delivering the needed aggression to each song.

If you're a metal fan (especially thrash), it's hard to go wrong with this. Buy it, listen to it, and enjoy it, because it's one of the few in its class.

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2006-04-23

This is why I listen to heavy music! Intensity, for lack of a better word, this is what the entire album is made up of! Favorite songs, Davidian, old, A Nation on Fire.
