It’s a crazy complex challenging and fun record to listen too. It’s layered like hell one of those albums where the more you listen the more you hear. We can’t fuckin’ wait til’ people can listen to it!!!!!” “Aesthetics f Hate” captures the bands anger towards an article that bashed ‘Dimebag’ Darrell right after his death and slammed the metal community as a whole for mourning it. The band actually performed this new track during the special appearances they made along the Sounds of the Underground Tour this past summer. “Now I Lay Thee Down” has a Romeo and Juliet-esque love story slant to it while “Slanderous” addresses the hate that still permeates throughout society and “Wolves” tackles the bands competitive ‘winner take all’ spirit. Machine Head fans have always played a big part in the recording process. However for the first time ever the band brought in a group of loyal fans and had them sing backing vocals on a new track.

Press-Enterprise – Jan 19, 2007
Cobain’s death at 27 when his band was at the height of its popularity drew more attention to his music. It remains popular and influential. Burlingame writes that grunge music combined the fast tempos of rock with the loud distorted guitars of heavy metal. "Yet underneath all the noise and sometimes hard-to-understand words the songs themselves were melodic memorable and energetic" Burlingame writes. "Cobain’s songs were a lot more poetic and catchy" than the music from most Seattle bands at the time. The album "Nevermind" sold more than 14 million copies. "When a band writes a song with quiet verses followed by powerfully loud choruses there is a good chance they have been influenced by Nirvana" Burlingame writes.
