Worst Albums in Metal History: Machine Head – Catharsis

Metalcatto

Today, we’re going to try to answer the question: Can a metal album be ruined entirely by its lyrics? Also, I know many of you voted for Unatoned, but this is significantly worse. Machine Head‘s Catharsis was clearly a product of its time, full of excesses and moments that feel like an old Facebook post from someone trying really hard to virtue-signal. Having said that, the music itself didn’t make me puke right away. But don’t worry, stay with me.

Cirith Ungol – All The Shadows

If you’re an old Cirith Ungol fan, chances are you need a knee replacement. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I can tell you that maybe only Satan has made a more dramatic comeback from what looked like certain death. The last two albums have been a blast, but can the band top the fun of the classic ones with All The Shadows? Let’s see.

Green Lung – Necropolitan

When you hear the name Green Lung, you either think of the Amazon rainforest or a horrible type of cancer. However, there’s a retro-Heavy and Sludge Metal band out there that has something to show us today. Yet, Necropolitan sounded exactly as I expected. You’ll have to stick around to know if that means good or bad. I’ll keep writing after all.
