According to the Metal Hammer magazine votes, the best album of the decade is Machine Head's "the blackening".

What do you say about that?

Not surprising, considering it's Metal Hammer.

Nothing else to comment.

i gave up on Metal Hammer years ago when i realised how biggoted they were in there attitude to diversity of musical taste. it was like, "though shalt listen to only metal and nothing else because everything else is rubbish"

its an ok album. not amazing. burn my eyes is way better

It's a good album, but album of the decade? Was that just one person's opinion or was it voted for?

Whether its staff voted or readership voted its no surprise. Machine Head were always their little darlings. they even started saying how great all their bad albums were. i got bored of hearing how amazing they were every issue

Well, they're wrong...

Metal Hammer isn't carried out here, as far as I know. Come to think of it, I don't know of any metal magazines published out here.

If the clientele or subscribers dig Machine Head, guess what ? The poll is no surprise. Be like being surprised that the Grateful Dead topped a poll in Relix or Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks Band and Allman Brothers Band did well in A Hittin The Note best of list.

i dont agree....its that simple.

So what's your album of the decade?

Megadeth-The System Has Failed

It's a good album, and one that helped bring thrash back into the mainstream for a while, but #1? I disagree. It's all opinion, though, so who really cares?

In terms of metal...

UFO-You Are Here

There are many better albums than THAT!

That title would either have to go to Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know or Deathchain - Deathrash Assault. In my opinion anyways.

Weep! Weep and gnash your teeth, O puny editors of Metal Hammer! See the ultimate folly of your choice, and tremble before the everlasting wrath of Motorhead's Inferno!

album of the decade? there's two of them (IMHO of course):

It is Good, top 50 material probably but number one of the decade, come on!

would not put anything by Machine Head in any top anything of any decade, we'll put it that way. I can't pick a top, just my favorites, because I don't feel like imposing my opinions which would be disagreed with anyway as fact to pressure legions of metalheads to like an album.

Impossible to answer because everyone has different taste. My vote would go to Evile/Enter the Grave. Great old school thrash made in in the 00's

One of these 3 for me.....

Theocracy-Mirror of Souls or Municipal Waste-The Art of Partying would get my vote.
