OK, I really wasn't too fond of this a few years ago but it's definitely grown on me lately. Still a few stinkers on this one but some of the songs have become new favorites of their catalogue.

Perfect production sound. Most the songs are killer. Beneath the Silt and Sail Into The Black are pretty bad song, and the the interludes like Damage Inside and Imaginal Cells are a waste of time. Everything is is solid fucking gold.

I think Catharsis has better production... this one's is very good borders on great... but new one's impeccable to my ears. Bigger tones a slightly, just ever so slightly better drum sound. This album is excellent but to me this lead-up (along with "Is There Anybody Out There?) to their best record in my book. Catharsis is the one!

One of their best. Easily. Songs range from good to great. People just don't have any attention span. Not like getting to this album even demands it too much.

I agree with what you said ONE of their best... I believe "Catharsis" is the most complete, tactile & efficient. They were really upping it several levels starting with B & D though, undoubtedly

Some Dope songs are a bit silly but at least it never feels like Edsel is channeling Limp Bizkit from the year 2000 like Robb on some parts of Catharsis seems to do.

Major difference... Fred was always just making up a bunch of bullshit. Regardless of how he addresses his topics on a FEW songs (and it is really like 3 or 4 out of 15 songs...) it still has this "real life experience" to it that Bizkit never had. Give it some time is all I can say... initial impressions aren't necessarily the ones that last. I often think about music upon first hearing it like... "How will I feel after hearing this 12 or 15 x"

I meant the "middle fingers up, kids" stuff when comparing to Bizkit. Yes, it's fortunately only in very few short parts on the album.

You get that songs like "Triple Beam" are true Flynn stories, right? The voice/lyrics (AT TIMES) is just meant to be treated like another instrument... and if it coincides & flows in cohesion with the music in a powerful manner... I love Mastodon, things that require tons of thinking. Some music's just meant to go ballistic... nothing wrong with digging both

Triple Beam comes off as your dad preaching about smoking weed being bad. Now that's metal. The riff is good in it though.

This album is a grower. It may not be The Blackening 2, but it has great songs like Now We Die, Ghosts will haunt my bones, In Comes the Flood and Game Over. Give it another chance, people.

I think it's got the right sound, following in a rather similar way to The Blackening and such, a natural progression or whatever, but it's just ... boring. Very few memorable moments on this album. Actually, only the intro in "Sail Into The Black" is memorable imo. A most mediocre effort from MH.

The first half is very solid MH, then the second half, apart from the last track perhaps, is pretty meh.

Wasn't a grower for me. From the second I pressed play and I heard those strings, I knew I fucking loved it. [2]

Wasn't a grower for me. From the second I pressed play and I heard those strings, I knew I fucking loved it. Big return to form after Locust, which I wasn't the hugest fan of. Seeing their 2 hour set last week just made me love it even more. Can't say yet whether I like it more than/as much as The Blackening, but it's a definite contender for album of the year for me.

Pretty happy with this for the most part. Think Night of Long Knives is a bit of a cringefest lyrically. Sail Into The Black probably the standout.

After some spins I'd say that the only two bad songs are "Damage Inside" and "Imaginal Cells", but they are really fucking bad. The rest of the album, on the other hand, is great.

Just erase Damaged Inside, Imaginal Cells and Beneath the Silt. The other songs are just great, this album really kicks some asses.

German review for the new album online at metal4.de. "Bloodstone & Diamonds" gets 9 out of 10! http://www.metal4.de/review/machine-head-bloodstone-diamonds-2/

Imaginal Cells is a waste of time. At least 4 of these songs could be cut and it wouldn't feel like it drags. Other than that it is a good album, just nowhere near as good as the last two.

So... Bloodstone and Diamonds is good. But Machine Head never create something better than The Blackening and Unto The Locust.
