My wife and I were about two have twins in May 2018, unfortunately they came 10 weeks early and my wife had to lay in a hospital bed already weeks before. So I remember driving by bus to the hospital every day, listening to "Catharsis" and how, literally, this song saved me during that time and helped me so much to stay strong for my family. Our babydaughter died in our arms from a sepsis after two days, but our son is alive and a 4yr old sunshine now and we are still in grief but also still in love. Thank you, Machine Head. "The only thing keeping me sane The music in my veins And if these words are my fists This is my catharsis"
Oh my goodness I'm SO sorry to hear about your baby daughter. I can't imagine the pain y'all must've felt and still do. I haven't had any children but man I bet they are thee most precious things you could ever have! Anyways, thanks for sharing your experience and insight. Much love to you and your wife 😊
I found this off yt auto play as i dropped an American high as it was my all time up kicker piece only to privilegedly run into something that broke my heart and powerfully sowed it back together. I am astonished. Thank you. And I hope you know the reach of your work guys.. ..Salutes from Romania! ❤️
This album got some pretty mixed reviews and I believe sold around the average of MH albums (which as we all know Metal albums in particular haven't sold well since the likes of streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and of course the almighty CZcams have dwindled album sales and even back when illegal downloading platforms back in the early to mid 2000's really did a number on artists being able to sell a substantial amount of records). In my opinion there's some really solid songs on this album such as the title track, Psychotic, California Bleeding (the bass lines in particular are some of my favorites of MH!), Heavy Lies the Crown, etc. But then there's some doozers such as Triple Beam, Bastards, Kaleidoscope (though it is a pretty rad song when played live!), etc. Overall it's a cool album but fat from my favorite of theirs and actually is one of their worst in my humble opinion. Machine Head are one of my favorite bands and always will be and they mean the world to me! They put on some of the best live shows of any band and treat their fans like gold. MH hold a special place in my heart and always will! When they last played Baltimore City, Maryland back on December 4th, 2022 we RAWKED that venue! I know they'll be excited to come back to B More! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🧨😎🏟️🎸🎸🎸
ON MY WAY TO PALLITIVE CARE, START THE NEXT CHEMO ON MONDAY BUT THIS IS REMINDING ME I AM NOT DEAD YET AND I CAN STILL FUCK SHIT UP. THANKS MACHIINE HEAD, THANKS BOYZ,.......I NEEDED THIS TODAY
I wish you the best of luck in your journey that must be as hard as it gets! I will pray for you (the power of prayer is a real thing and has actually worked in certain medical instances! There's a very interesting episode on Unsolved Mysteries about that!). At least you are alive at this moment and able to still enjoy music! You can e mail me anytime if you ever want to chat or anything! Have a nice evening brother!
I vividly remember the day this album was released. I was going through an extremely challenging time in my life at that point. I was homeless and mightily struggling with drugs and alcohol. I was outside freezing my ass off in the Winter weather and hearing this album really helped me feel better and get through those scary and dark times. Thank you Machine Head for always helping me in my toughest times!
Honestly I don't understand why some people don't care for this album, its got so many amazing songs on it and the musicianship is amazing and robbs song writing is solid...Someone explain to me why some people dont care for this album because I think its awsome and personally I don't think machine head has ever done a bad album...
GREAT ALBUM! Masterpice. Rob, thanks for all Your music ! Everyday give us streght figh still on and on , STILL ! Greetings from Czech! There is no end...THIS is what we are, of Course!
it's so good, well done guys, can't wait for your return to France FMH yeah !!! I've been listening to you and adoring you since I was 12 (it's been 27 now), became a drummer because of you ah ah kiss
With pain in my heart, being a machine head fan since 1995, and watching their live performances on several occasions. I have to say that I find this album easily forgettable.
Wait, what!? Easily forgettable!? Catharsis and Bastards are Epic bro!!! Don't get me wrong, I took love The Burning Red album but you can't deny the songs I mentioned are 2 of Rob's best
@@willkateley9938 I agree that this album isn’t as bad as people make out, there’s some gems. I personally like Triple Beam, that song is so good live. That being said I like The Burning Red also, bar the production I enjoy it.
Surprise For My intelecT, in the hour Of a listening this Work. Flynn and rest the Band, concilied a Great recient álbum, in Time. Is gratefulL Listen a Catharsis, good Work guys. 🎃🤍⚡❤️⭐🌸⚡🤍🎃
I never understood why some people hate this album with passion. Sure, there are some forgettable songs on this album, and in my personal opinion "Bastards" is the worst song in their whole catalogue, but there are some really good ones here too. Volatile, Catharsis and Heavy Lies the Crown are some of the best songs they've ever done.
I agree with everything you said. I really don't like "Bastards" and agree it's probably their worst song (along with "Brown Acid" LOL!), but there are some awesome songs on this album such as the title track, Psychotic, California Bleeding (I love the bass lines especially! Just not a big fan of the lyrics), "Volatile", "Heavy Lies the Crown" and a few others are pretty good songs. Not a big fan of "Triple Beam", "Razorblade Smile", "Hope Begets Hope" (it's not a BAD song but just never could get into it much), etc. But hey most bands put out at least one not so great album. Other than "Catharsis" their other albums are fantastic (I even really enjoy a lot of "Supercharger" though it's probably their second worst album next to "Catharsis" lol).
Absolutely terrible. I understand progression, but compared with things like Burn My Eyes or The More Things Change, this shit is total regression and just awful.

Deeply sorry to hear that brother. Love to you and your family
I'm so sorry mate, I still remember first holding my girls, and can't imagine losing my kids.
Respect brother
I still listen to this album today and never get bored , what a album 🤘
Paranoid...Kill It MF!!
Screaming at the Sun is such a killer track
Volatile is such a banger tune, I still hit gym PRs to that one
And I hit my gf to it pow right in the kusser go make me a sandwich

Bastards definetely worst machinehead song ever
🤘😎
catharsis wrecks.
Mr. Ego says you've gotten out of hand
Suspitious similarities with the Slipknot 1999 album🤨...And Iowa... I guess they tried to bring back some chemichal X into their music...
バーニングレッドも良いけどこのアルバムも良い、MACHINEHEADやっぱり最高だ😆
Robb sounds like Corey in a lot of the tracks
As a die hard machine head fan. This album kindve tested my heart. There's some good moments but some of it is just childish
NO GUD SOUND. BURN MY EYES BEST SOUND
💀🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
Fucking 2018, a relatively peaceful times.
Forget it 😡

Absolutely terrible. I understand progression, but compared with things like Burn My Eyes or The More Things Change, this shit is total regression and just awful.
Badass fuckin album 💞
Triple beam is so fire shit
Love California Bleeding. Cringeworthy lyrics but gets me fucking pumped.
there worst album by far
Bad album 👎
Worst Album Ever Released.
