I think it's that they're pretty much trying to elevate what is essentially blue collar guitar-bashing to an extent that Machine Head simply has no business trying to do. They just sound ridiculous on this album, and it only got worse as their albums progressed if I remember correctly. I think I'm gonna go back and listen to Burn My Eyes.

Slanderous still has a killer fucking riff and is proof they could of, at their best, hung with some of the better acts in groove metal. It's just when they try to add too much depth with things like the quieter passages in Now I Lay Thee Down where they almost sound like a nu-metal act that make me think less of them.

"Slanderous" is as big an offender as any other song. It isn't just the quieter bits, it's the overwrought nature of the album in general. The band overplays, Rob oversings (melodic or otherwise), and the songs are overwritten. It's a testament to just how much Machine doesn't actually suck that they can pull their cheesy music off, but the band is clearly full of themselves.

Now that's just... well... slanderous.

This I can agree with, especially the over singing. I try to ignore the vocals for the most part, especially on the tracks that are tighter musically, because it sounds a lot better without hearing Robb scream "I'm a meth head, and a ???,
dumb cunt been called a junkie. A retard and a pussy, and I embrace the names you call me."

No idea on how you'll feel about the lyrical content because I rarely pay attention to that with screaming vocals.
I dont ever really pay attention to lyrical content in DM, its more about instrumentation to me.

Pretty much the same for me too.
