Have you heard Machine Head's new album? It's hilarious how Robbbbb Flynnnnn keeps up with the latest trends.

When Vio-lence broke up, Robbbbb Flynnnnn wanted to keep his thrash roots alive. He pretty much did that with "Burn My Eyes", as it had some really awesome thrash songs. It also had its share of pure dog shit. This came out in 1994, and became the precursor to mallcore groove-pseudo-metal. Pantera were doing this quite successfully, but they stayed metal.

When "The More Things Change" came out, Robbbbb Flynnnnnnn decided that it was cool to be influenced by Korn, thus losing their right to be associated with thrash. There are barely any riffs, and the vocals are damn near rapping. What's that? Rapping over downtuned chords? Hmm... it's 1997. Seems like the "in" thing to do.

Then there's "The Burning Red". One of the worst albums of all time. Why? Because yet again, Robbbb writes the songs based on what is currently "in". No creativity here at all. There are zero memorable riffs. The vocals are fucking hilarious. This is the shit Linkin Park fans eat up.

"Supercharger". The new Machine Head album to put them back on the metal map. I don't remember exactly when this came out - it was a few years ago. I remember downloading it. I listened to the first song and all I heard was "Burning Red" pseudo-riffs. But wait... what's that? Never mind, the two or three thrash riffs that exist on this album aren't enough to save it from being utter shit. Try again next time, Robbb...

...Well, maybe he shouldn't have tried again. Their newest album has no direction at all. What are they trying to be? Shadows Fall is pretty popular these days, and they're considered "metal", right? Robbbbb, take note. Nu-metal is going under, and Gothenberg is in! Same shitty songwriting, but now with MELODIES!

Robbbbb, those melodies sound awfully generic.

Robbb says: "Don't worry, we're going to be creative and have HARMONIES!"

Wow, Robbbbb. That is creative. I can only think of 4000 bands that rip off Gothenberg by using harmonies. Good job. Mallcore and Gothenberg mixed into one. Groove riffs and melodies do NOT mix, especially when they're the most generic of their respective classes.

Machine Head has always followed trends. Gothenberg is the latest trend, so they start adding harmonies in the most inappropriate places.

As for Hatebreed, they have no talent.
