確か大学生ころの見た覚えがあります。
最初は「真夜中のカウボーイ」的なシニカルな物語を期待していました
が、全くのスペクタクル超大作でびっくりしました。
セットの崩壊や最後のイナゴの大群のような狂気と群集心理の恐怖。
これはハリウッド内幕物を題材にした群集心理の恐怖と人間のエゴを
辛辣に描破した傑作です。 ドナルド・サザーランドの妖しい演技全開状態で、最後まで釘付け！ 何よりも人間の裏側が一番怖いのです。
I was a little worried about "Unto the Locust" - how could Robb Flynn and the lads in Machine Head possibly follow "The Blackening" without fans seeing it as a band who had already peaked and were now on a downward slide? However, just like a new model from BMW, the new car has incredibly improved on the old model.
Machine Head has produced an unmistakably MH CD, which matches the intensity of "The Blackening", and in my opinion demonstrates continued progress of the band as a unit. The trademark vocals (tinged with a demonic growl), complimented by masterful guitar riffs, which appear at times reckless in nature, all swathed in a wall of percussion, make this album relentless from start to finish. My only complaint - why only 7 tracks guys!?!
