    This is a gloriously brave and vibrant piece of work and the most significant metal album of 2011 by some distance.

    While Unto The Locust has much within it that will appeal to unreconstructed customers, parts of this work showcase a unit whose creative appetites are still restless and free.

    For metalheads who like their music sharp and executed without recourse to compromise, then this is a contender for genre album of the year.

    This is a fantastic album. I'm really glad that their last album "The Blackening" was not a fluke. They have found their sound finally and I love it!

    Another mighty effort from Machine Head. Personally, I wouldn't rate it quite as high as it's predecessor 'The Blackening', but Unto the Locust is still a fantastic album none-the-less.… Expand
