Honestly, This Machine Runs on Empty could, quite possibly, be the best album of 2007! With it’s mixture of insane guitar riffs and squeals by guitarists Kyle Rakes and Jeff Peck, massive drums and sick double bass action from drummer Brian Lewis, heavy backing lines from bassist Bob Pfeiffer, and Joel Collins’ aggressive vocals, this album puts you through one of the most intense thrill rides you will experience through Metal today. Although the entire album is awesome, a few of the tracks that really stuck out to me were absolutely INSANE! They had to be to stick out over any of the others. Some of these tracks include titles such as “Break the Silence”, “Maker”, and “Inhale/Exhale”. “Break the Silence” was the first track to really stand out to me not only because it’s only the second track on the album, but it is the first track to really bring out those squeals mentioned before. They are out of this world!! And if you ever need a great song to wake up to and get your day going, that’s the one. If not, kick it over to “Inhale/Exhale” to start your day with pure aggression and a crazy solo! Not a bad way to start your day if I say so myself. All in all, if you want to experience one of the greatest Metal albums of 2007, go out and pick up a copy of This Machine Runs on Empty.
