Released months after Sepultura's "Chaos AD", the album is very similar to Sepultura's work in some aspects, but also different in many ways. The dynamic and infectious riffs alongside the tribal touch that make Sepultura what they are come to the fore a bit in "Burn My Eyes", but it is not the main characteristic of this work. We can notice a bit more speed here with the exception of one or two tracks.
By the way, Chris Konto's drums are great here. Flynn's vocals are also incredible. Not on the level of Phil Anselmo or Max Cavalera, but still an incredible vocal that does not compromise the experience of the album, quite the opposite. The first six tracks are impeccable. The rest are good, but not on the same level. On the B-side, I think "Blood for Blood" has an addictive guitar sound, a great metal groove.
"Davidian" is an absolute hit. Fantastic, the best.
That doom metal sound in the beginning of "A Thousand Lies" makes this track more than amazing. For me, the best one outside "Davidian"
Another highlight for me is "The Rage to Overcome".
"Death Church" reminds me a lot of the Black Label Society vibe. A great song, with an elegant cadence, characteristic of bands that know how to play heavy metal without the need for speed.
It's a near-perfect album, and would be 100/100 if it weren't for the little downgrade in the B-side.
Best ones:
Davidian
A Thousand Lies
The Rage to Overcome
Death Church
None But My Own
Weakest one:
Real Eyes, Realize, Real Li ... See More

Endless energy and power...passion.
Can't believe it just their debut album...
Someone saids "pantera's subclass", "they don't have their own style"...
Well.. Please don't say anymore you punks.
Just sit down and enjoy this album without comparing it to pantera.
Don't forget that even Pantera is not a pioneer in this genre.
There is a power to sway the crowd under the stage.
They knew very well how to lead people on stage.
Robb's roaring voice, Chris's amazing drumming, Lolo's riff..
Logan's composition is beyond description.
With their power, they banded together and this eventually became their style.
No one can't deny. Making music that moves the listener's head is definitely not easy.
Perfect debut album in METAL HISTORY.

Burn My Eyes is a great example of Groove Metal done right. The riffs here are awesome, still with a Thrash edge and not too one-note. The rhythm section is full of energy and while there are plenty of midtempo sections, they’re usually filled with interesting drumming, or change up the patterns quickly enough that it doesn’t get too repetitive. Of course, the best parts are when they dial the energy all the way up and those Thrash influences shine through.
There’s a fair bit of other influence touched upon here as well, including Metalcore, Alt Metal, and even some Nu Metal. I don’t think any of that was intentional, but Machine Head managed to create a debut that sounded entirely unique at the time. Probably the best part is that it still holds up today without issue, having a much more timeless modernity to it than a lot of early Groove Metal. If I didn’t know this was 1994, I would never have been able to date this.

1991년, Alternative Rock의 공습은 Heavy Metal씬에 강렬한 철퇴를 날렸다. 뒤이어 나타난 Neo-Punk의 물결은 쇠약해져있던 헤비 메탈이라는 장르를 매장해버렸다. 더이상 영/미권에서 헤비 메탈의 미래는 없어 보였다. 그러나 이러한 흐름에 완강하게 저항한 밴드가 있었다. 그 주인공은 바로 Pantera였다. 이들의 그루브한 스타일의 메탈은 이후 헤비 메탈 밴드들에게 엄청난 영향력을 행사했다. Machine Head는 그러한 Pantera의 세례를 직접적으로 받은 밴드 중 하나였다. 이들의 데뷔 앨범 Burn My Eyes에서는 Pantera의 짙은 흔적을 찾을 수 있다. 칼날 같이 날카로운 기타 연주는 Dimebag Darrell의 톤과 닮았고, Robb Flynn의 보컬링은 Phil Ansel와 흡사했다. 이러한 Machine Head는 90년대 이후 헤비 메탈 씬에서 가장 유력한 롤모델로 떠올랐던 Pantera를 기반으로 완성도 높은 데뷔 앨범을 발표했다. 이 앨범은 현재까지 세계에서 40만 장이나 팔릴 정도로 잘 나가는 작품이었다. 그 당시까지 Roadrunner에서는 가장 많이 팔린 데뷔 앨범이었다고 한다. 헤비 메탈 팬들은 이들의 가치를 놓치지 않았던 것이다. 당시 헤비 메탈의 대세였던 Pantera의 포맷을 놀라울 정도로 흡수, 소화한 이 밴드의 데뷔 앨범에 많은 헤비 메탈 팬들은 박수갈채를 보냈다. 그러나 Machine Head가 당시 ...

확실히 판테라의 영향이 짙은 그루브메탈 레코드지만 이들만의 매력도 충분히 엿볼 수 있는 음악이었다. 매력 넘치는 리프와 덩실대는 그루브, 데뷔앨범임에도 믹싱이 상당히 좋다. 이들 최고작이라 할 수 있겠다.

스래시 메탈과 그루브 메탈의 완벽한 조합. 최고의 데뷔 앨범 중 하나이지만 밴드 전체 디스코그라피 중 본 앨범을 뛰어넘는 앨범이 없다는 것 또한 큰 아쉬움.

넘실거리는 그루브가 인상적인 작품이다. 데뷔작임을 감안하면 상당히 잘 만든 앨범이다. 시대의 흐름을 잘 파악하고 영리한 음악적 접근으로 메탈씬에 성공적인 첫 걸음을 보였다. 다만 머쉰헤드는 이 데뷔작에서 판테라에게 상당히 많은 빚을 지고 있는 것 같다. 돈을 좀 번 다음 판테라 횽들에게 최소한 밥은 샀을 것으로 믿는다.

굵직굵직한 보컬에 두텁고 묵직한 사운드는 마치 둔기를 휘두르는 것 같습니다. 개인적으로 그루브는 판테라의 느낌을 더 선호하여, 본작은 그렇게 그루브가 좋다고 느끼지는 못했습니다. 시대적 배경을 배제하고 그냥 이 음반 한 장만을 감상한 평을 적자면 무난한 평작입니다. 스래쉬라기엔 그루브메탈같고 그루브 메탈이라기엔 스래쉬메탈...같은 느낌입니다.

그루브와 묵직한 기타리프가 아주 일품인 거물급 밴드 머신 헤드의 역작이다! Unto the locust의 지루함에 흥미를 잃었다가 우연히 듣고 정말 놀랐다. 뉴메탈임에도 충분히 헤비하고 충분히 중독적이다.

초마초 간지 그르부 쓰래쉬 메탈 앨범. 롭플린은 정말 멋있는 리프를 잘 만드는 것 같다. 판테라는 취향에 맞지 않았지만 머쉰헤드는 정말 취향저격! 그중에서도 데뷔앨범인 이 앨범은 정말 소위 말하는 '간지'가 충만한 앨범이다.

더 설명할 필요는 없이 기본적으로 판테라에 큰 영향을 받았다고 앨범에서 크게 얘기하고 있다. 기존에 갖고 있는 그루브 메탈이라는 장르안에 또 다른 색채가 있다는 것이 이 앨범의 장점. 게다가 이 앨범이 데뷔앨범이면 말 다했다.

Burn my eyes is a mediocre debut album. It has its own moments with fine riffs and headbanging moments, but practically it's kind of bland. The lyrics are sometimes really cheesy too.

앨범이 처음 나왔을때는 솔직히 산 돈이 아깝다고 생각했다. 그런데 이제와서 들어보니 상당히 괜찮은 수작이다. 자신들만의 색깔도 확실하다.

무지막지한 헤비함과 그루브로 점철된 골때리는 데뷔작. 속지에 쓰여진데로 야생마라는 표현이 딱이다. 특히 1 2 3 트랙의 삼연타콤보는 뭐 말이 필요없다.

The best album Machine Head. A powerful guitar sound, songs that start slow and end up devastating "None But My Own" "A Nation On Fire" "i, m Your God
