I actually listened to that once. It's not bad but there was a bit too much beige and pink. Not as good as the Green, blue and black of their old albums.Living color realeased a good album last year

Brutal!!! HAHAHA wow..Machine Head - Cartharsis review:
http://metalassault.com/2018/01/12/album-review-machine-head-catharsis/
...Make no mistake, I am (still) a Machine Head fan, I have always supported this band loyally on this website through glowing positive reviews and numerous interviews in the past, but ‘Catharsis’ does not represent the Machine Head I have liked and supported over the years. Let’s just pretend that this album does not even exist and move on with our lives, because it does not deserve even the least bit of anyone’s attention. A colossal disaster.
Rating: 1/10
Say you’re having a dream, and Machine Head’s bus crashes into Limp Bizkit’s in the middle of the ’90s. It results in an awful blend of generic rap metal that has no soul. Well, I’m afraid that dream has come true with Catharsis, Machine Head’s new album.
Although the entire album isn’t “rap metal,” the material that is along with the weak, “top 40” songs overshadow the decent material. Rob Flynn, in his overzealous, egotistical little way, has alienated most of the Machine Head fanbase made since 2003’s Through the Ashes of Empires, an album that redeemed the band from their previous release, the disastrous Supercharger.
Catharsis takes Machine Head 10 steps back in their career. It’s a pathetic attempt at discovering some sort of alternate version of the band, and they fail miserably. As if the attempts at rap metal aren’t enough, the corniness of a bunch of 50-year-old guys singing about cocaine, eating pussy, and drinking takes it over the top.
The metal sites hate it and the rock sites don't mind it. Says it all really.Brutal!!! HAHAHA wow..

Then there are a few giving it higher (whom clearly love Machine Head way too much).

Best comments:Fucking hell... You called it @Mr Invisible
"Sick of the laughter, sick of the pain, sick of this feeling the feeling of shame, sick of the white folks privileged and vain, protesting a culture that isn't the same.
Don't blame the false elites, when Nazi assholes march the streets, so call my a hypocrite, call me a fake. It's nothing compared to your pride and your hate"
It's basically an Antifa theme song.
So are all the singles released just stinkers (with musical exception of recent track)? Or are the released singles the benchmark?I listened through the Machine Head album twice and I have to admit that there is a lot of good music there. It's actually quite a decent album to listen to if you don't listen to hard. The moment you start listening to the lyrics then you want to switch it off.
That said, it's basically a mix of hard rock and nu metal. It's not metal.
Pretty much. Most of the songs on the album are good but the singles are pretty shit. Lots of the songs have shit in them though. They'll be good for a while then have some stupid lyrics. Like Triple Beam. It's an alright track with decent lyrics but the chorus is "That's what you get living life in a triple beam"Scabbia has always had a really decent melodic voice..
