Machine Head’s “The Blackening” the ‘Best Album of the Decade’?

MACHINE HEAD’s Grammy-nominated album The Blackening has received numerous awards and enjoyed praise from both critics and fans alike since its release in 2007, and in the most recent issue of Metal Hammer magazine, The Blackening was recognized by fans and Metal Hammer staff as the #1 “Album of the Decade”.

Agree?

Here’s what they said:

“The Blackening is MACHINE HEAD’s finest album to date by one of the bands that most powerfully and vividly encapsulate everything that this magazine stands for and everything that our readers believe in. ‘The Blackening’ not only re-established MACHINE HEAD as one of the most important metal bands on the planet, but also made a mockery of the increasingly popular notion that the age of the album is dead. This was an album that demanded to be listened to in one skull-crushing, heart-warming, life-affirming hit, and then again and again and again, until every last muscle in our necks was ruined forever. ‘The Blackening‘ took the MACHINE HEAD sound into thrilling new territory that decimated the competition and ensured that their place in history was secured.”
