I think this is basically gonna be a battle between
The Blackening and the new album for me.
Burn My Eyes starts off better, and would be be better in general except that half way through I'm kinda bored with it. It just gets kinda monotonous, but
The Blackening is much more diverse.
Part of me wants to say that
Burn My Eyes' just sounds "more metal" and kicks more ass than
The Blackening, but since it's really just Pantera worship, I don't think it should get any credit for that. Of course,
The Blackening followed the current trends as much as
Burn My Eyes did too, so... But Machine Head in general (hell, Vio-lence weren't exactly original either) has been chasing whatever trends happened to be popular, so it is what it is. They still kick ass, even if I don't respect them as a band.
I'm listening to the new album now, and it's of the same general quality as
The Blackening at least.
