Review: Fantastic addition to their collection - I have been listening to MH since the beginning. I remember when their first song came out on MTV, Belgium: Davidian. Holly Molly! What a song! And what an album. One of their top albums. Do I like all their follow-up albums equally well? Nopes! They are people like all of us that want to try new things and evolve. There have been times certain songs I did not like too much. Catharsis reminded me of the good old stuff; I love this album! When I am in need of an MH infusion, I play all their albums chronologically to get a full feeling of their evolution through time. And folks, do you think I love it? Damn, I certainly do. Together with Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Gojira, Nailbomb, Slayer, Pantera, this band is top-notch! Even if you don't like some of their work as an MH fan, go see them live. I have seen them at about 10 times. Mostly in Belgium, but recently in Houston, Texas. As indicated by my fellow reviewer below, it was just them, MH, 3 hours or more, getting a full-blown infusion of MH. Honestly, the best show I have ever seen in my entire life. With other concerts, I have to see 3 or 4 other bands, before the one I came to see. It is good to discover new gems in the supporting bands, but I am telling you, there is nothing wrong with listening 3 hours to the music of the band you came to see; it is a total blast!!! And it is clear MH feels the same way; they all interact with their audience tremendously. The show is that good, I am debating seeing them again in November, in Austin, Texas. I will be an eternal MH fan!
Review: Very reminiscent sound, I grew up listening to vinyl and just got a turntable. - This is my second piece of vinyl that I bought for my new turntable. It sounds great just like I remember. Machine Head is one of my favorite bands. This does not disappoint. And if you are new to this style of music this is a great album to start with. I heard others have had issues with album deliveries but this came in a special mailer and was delivered with no damage so I will buy more vinyl from desertcart

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not great but not as terrible as some of these metal elitists reviews claim.
*by E***E on April 23, 2018*

After hearing all the reviews on the album I was disappointed and uncertain about getting it but I said duck it. At least it comes with a live DVD and MH live is always amazing. so I ordered it anyway. The albums isn’t actually that bad. I dig the songs triple beam, volatile, behind the mask (is amazing on the mellow side) heavy lies the crown, beyond the pale, bastards I actually thought it was a cover because it doesn’t sound like machine Head material, catharsis it’s a nice tune as well. There are a couple of songs that I just don't care for or I guess I haven't really taken the time to listen to. Overall I like most of the album. Rob Flynn has pretty awesome clean vocals and on this CD he uses his clean vocals on a lot of songs. Also the songs are less heavy and have more instrumental stuff which I think its pretty cool and the live DVD just like I expected is awesome. I think probably there are so much haters out there because of his political views. I just don’t understand people that claim freedom of speech is for everyone and say “I don’t agree with your views but I will defend your right to speak freely” when nazis march in the street while at the same time they will bash and belittle someone with the SJW label for calling out a racism or trying to bring attention to something that is clearly wrong. What happened with defending someone’s right to speak freely? Anyways enough of that. This is an alright album but if you are new to machine Head and want to listen to something really good check out the blackening or onto the locust. Those are way better.
