Yeah In waves. There are some catchy songs on it but expectations were high after Shogun.

Machine head should be alright. I wasn't a huge fan of the Blackening (and their concept of 8 minute songs that go on and on) but they are very capable even if a little predictable after their Ashes comeback. I liked them better when things were unexpected and a rap metal song would follow message in a bottle cover which would follow something brutal...

Yeah Shogun was just brilliant. Its an album which I never skip over a song in...every single song in it sounds amazing to me. In Waves sounds a bit too clean doesn't it ? And the beautiful riffage they had going in Shogun is missing.

I was a huge fan of The Blackening... One of the very best albums in recent years imo. Although yeah, I could understand why someone would think there songs are too similar to each other.
