Completely randomly my brain just screamed “Machine Head”! As it is my favorite Machine Head album, I instantly went to Youtube and searched up “Burn My Eyes”. This is the debut studio album from MH and IMO it is the hardest hitting. There are a handful of other albums from these guys that are just as good though—in their own way!
Every track on this album is solid gold but my favorite song would need to be the entry track “Davidian”. The line “let freedom ring with a shotgun blast” to date is one of the heaviest written lines that I can think of!
Even though “Burn My Eyes” is my favorite—I’d certainly suggest checking out the other releases from Machine Head. Even one of their least popular albums “The Burning Red” is enjoyable IMO. So that shows that even when Machine Head are not at their best, they are certainly far from the worst. I will also add that I have probably written about this album in the past—but as it is just that good—I figured it was time to speak of it again!
Conclusion—just listen to Machine Head! -Devin J. Meaney
