Machine Head is a toothless album. The music is hard rock. Each song is filled with guitar solos, riffs, grooves and hooks.
While there may not be much bite to this album, that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable or interesting. However, where Black Sabbath is dark and brooding and Led Zeppelin is aggressive and bombastic, Deep Purple is fun and easygoing. It's kind and gentle heavy metal.
The album is good, but it needs to rock harder and faster to make it all convincing. It's worth listening to because it's clearly an influential album for future hard rock and heavy metal bands. However, I don't think it needs to be on the 1001 Albums list.
All the songs on this album are quite good. The stand outs are Highway Star, Never Before, Smoke on the Water, Lazy, and Space Truckin'.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
