This set is very listenable for such hard music. Many metal bands could learn a little something by this band.

Great follow up cd, regardless of what many say. This would be their best until 'Through the Ashes of Empires'.
 Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!! September 16, 2006
They were just some of the the thoughts running through my head when I first heard this album. I have all of Machine Head's albums and to me this is one of the greatest albums ever released by the band.
1994's "Burn My Eyes" was a tremendous album, and although it took three years until The More Things Change was released, Im sure it would have been worth the wait for early listeners (I wasn't a fan back then.)
The album opens with a classic, Ten Ton Hammer, and then it pummels your @$$ until the final song.
Although you won't find a Davidian on this album, it is still a classic in its own way.
The style of Machine Head sort of evolved after "Burn My Eyes". This album certainly had songs a lot darker then all of the songs on the debut album, it also became a lot more punishing and heavier, although some of the songs on Burn My Eyes were a hell of a lot heavier than some of the songs on this album.
Ear bleeders such as "Blood for Blood" on the first album are still present here such as "The Frontlines" and "Ten Ton Hammer".
I disagree with the person who said that "The Burning Red" is better than this album. I believe that some of the songs were OK, but many were cruddy. That was Machine Head's worst album, but people can have their own opinions definatetly.
Anyway, after reading this review you will go to the nearby music
store and BUY THIS ALBUM. QUICKLY!!!!!!

If you're familiar with Machine Head's 'Burn My Eyes' album and if you've read the above title, then that should give you an idea on how 'The More Things Change...' is. If you still can't figure it out, then here's an even clearer explanation: it's a less inspired version of 'Burn My Eyes,' though still solid.
What makes the venerated 'Burn My Eyes' so great is its blend of quiet, slow, melody and loud, fast, aggressive thrash. This album tries to follow in that same vein, but unfortunately it falters a bit. It's mostly that the songs aren't as catchy as they are on its predecessor for whatever reason. My theory is that the guitar riffs are a bit more nu-metal sounding.
What can also be said is that 'The More Things Change...' is more divided. More of the songs either don't possess that same melodic/speed blend of 'Burn My Eyes,' or the song (e.g. 'Violate') presents a false sense of climax building. It's only when the song is near end that it becomes apparent that there isn't much of the aggressive rush as there was in songs such as in 'Burn My Eyes.'
Though not as compentate as its predecessor, this album still isn't bad. There are certainly memorable songs such as 'Spine,' 'The Frontlines,' 'Ten Ton Hammer,' and 'Struck a Nerve' (at least the first half.) If you don't already have 'Burn My Eyes,' then you'd be wise to get that album before considering this. If you're looking for material sort of in the same vein, then this is your best bet, as Machine Head's other releases have drifted too far from their original style (though some of it is still decent.)
yeah so March 16, 2006

Machine Head is one of the few bands that can completely cahnge -- sell out if you must--- and still own. I have all of their albums and like them all. Definit ly one of my top 5 bands. The more things change is actually the album that got me into them and its still my fav. The album is an emotional roller coaster and my fav MH song SPINE is on this album. Most people will say that Burn My Eyes is their best album and I'm not saying its not amazing, but this album is the best MH I have heard to date. Definitly check this out if you enjoy real metal.
