Catharsis Is The Ninth Album By American Heavy Metal Band Machine Head Released On January 26 2018. Musical Style In November 2017 Ahead Of The Album's Release Frontman Robb Flynn Explained That The Album's Sound Would Be Less Heavy Than Previous Efforts With Emphasis On Being "very Grooving And Very Melodic." As A Result The Songs Are More Structurally Simplistic As Well As Being Shorter An Approach That Flynn Also Tried To Incorporate Into The Lyrics Finding Hip-Hop And Hardcore Punk As Influences I Don't Listen To A Whole Lot Of Metal — I'm Being Straight With You. To Me A Lot Of It Doesn't Interest Me A Lot Of The Lyrics Don't Interest Me. I Listen To A Lot Of Hip-Hop. I Grew Up On A Lot Of Hardcore Punk Rock Hip-Hop And I Just Love... Love It Or Hate It I Love Just The Fucking Direct Ignorant-Ass Lyrics Of Hip-Hop. It's Very Clear It's Very Blunt There Are No Metaphors. Metal's Full Of Metaphors. We've Been Singing About The Same Shit Now For 30 Fucking Years And I Get A Little Bored With It. And With This Record I Really Wanted To Just Strip It Down And Make Really Clear Really Simple Really Blunt... Especially My Choruses Just Really Clear... Like You Know What The Fuck I'm Talking About Exactly When I'm Talking About It. And It's Cool. Like Real Vulgar Language And Coarse Language And It's A Good Vibe Man. Reception Critical Reception Of The Album Was Mixed. In A Review By Jay H. Gorania For Blabbermouth.Net He Wrote "Catharsis Is A Bold Move. It's Just The Wrong Move. That's What's Most Disappointing And Frustrating Here The Wasted Potential Of What Could Have Been." Writing For Loudwire Chad Bowar Wrote "There's A Regular Album Length's Worth Of Excellent Songs But The Quality Of Catharsis Is Diluted By That Other 30 Minutes Or So And Hampered By A Lack Of Cohesiveness." In A Positive Review For TeamRock Eleanor Goodman Wrote "Catharsis Is Machine Head With The Brakes Off Freewheeling Through Past And Present As They See Fit " And "Robb's Said He's Got No Plan For Machine Head's Future And Perhaps That's Why The Record Lacks Some Coherence But Their Rebellious Spirit Nevertheless Remains Strong." Catharsis Would Go On To Become Machine Head's Best International Chart Debut Debuting At Number Three In Germany Number 10 In Australia And Number 12 In The UK.
