Machine Head – More Things Change (2-LP Vinyl)

Oakland's Machine Head arrived at *The More Things Change...* in 1997 at a crossroads moment for heavy metal, when the genre was fracturing between nu-metal trends and thrash traditionalists. Robb Flynn and company leaned hard into groove-driven aggression and technical riffwork, delivering an album that rewarded the faithful who'd followed them from *Burn My Eyes*. It remains a cornerstone of Bay Area metal's post-thrash evolution.
