(1997), and is the final Machine Head studio album to feature drummer Dave McClain and guitarist Phil Demmel, both of whom left the band less than a year after its release. Musical styleIn November 2017 ahead of the album's release, frontman Robb Flynn explained that the album's sound would be less heavy than previous efforts, with emphasis on being "very grooving and very melodic". As a result, the songs are more structurally simplistic as well as being shorter, an approach that Flynn also tried to incorporate into the lyrics, finding hip-hop and hardcore punk as influences: I don't listen to a whole lot of metal — I'm being straight with you. To me, a lot of it doesn't interest me, a lot of the lyrics don't interest me. I listen to a lot of hip-hop. I grew up on a lot of hardcore, punk rock, hip-hop, and I just love... Love it or hate it, I love just the fucking direct, ignorant-ass lyrics of hip-hop. It's very clear, it's very blunt; there's no metaphors. Metal's full of metaphors. We've been singing about the same shit now for 30 fucking years and I get a little bored with it. And with this record, I really wanted to just strip it down and make really clear, really simple, really blunt... Especially my choruses, just really clear... Like, you know what the fuck I'm talking about exactly when I'm talking about it. And it's cool. Like real vulgar language and coarse language, and it's a good vibe, man.[3] The song Beyond The Pale was met with a minor controversy when it was pointed out that the main riff bears striking similarities to the main riff in Strapping Young Lad's Love?; Devin Townsend has acknowledged the similarities, but stated that Love?'s chorus was "ripped off" from the song "City of Love" by the band Yes; Flynn also joked that "The Riff Police pulled me over", and that while admitting to the similarities, he claimed it was "just a happy accident".[4] On February 9, 2019, former guitarist Phil Demmel said he hated the direction of Catharsis in an interview with the "Talk Toomey" podcast, explaining: "There's moments of what I wrote that I like. I wrote most of the music to 'California Bleeding', but then [Robb] wrote the lyrics on top of it that I just wish that… Me and Dave [McClain, drums] talk about it, like, 'Fuck! I wish I could take my riffs back.' [Laughs] 'No, that isn't what we want them used for.' So, I think, in that sense, it just became a Robb Flynn solo project, and that isn't what I signed up for."[5] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Blabbermouth.net | rev1score = 5.5/10[6] | rev2 = Kerrang! | rev2score = {{Rating|3|5}}{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} | rev3 = Metal Hammer | rev3score = 7/10[7] | rev4 = Metal Storm | rev4score = 3/10[8] | rev5 = Sputnikmusic | rev5score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[9] | rev6 = Worship Metal | rev6score = 7/10[10] }} Critical reception of the album was mixed to negative. In a review by Jay H. Gorania for Blabbermouth.net he wrote, "Catharsis is a bold move. It's just the wrong move. That's what's most disappointing and frustrating here: The wasted potential of what could have been."[11] Writing for Loudwire, Chad Bowar wrote, "There's a regular album length's worth of excellent songs, but the quality of Catharsis is diluted by that other 30 minutes or so and hampered by a lack of cohesiveness."[12] In a positive review for Metal Hammer, Eleanor Goodman wrote, "Catharsis is Machine Head with the brakes off, freewheeling through past and present as they see fit," and "Robb's said he's got no plan for Machine Head's future, and perhaps that's why the record lacks some coherence, but their rebellious spirit nevertheless remains strong."[7] Jeff Treppel of Decibel Magazine gave the album a "shrug emoji" out of 10, calling it "a 74-minute rap metal album with a song that sounds like the Dropkick Murphys in the middle" and that "None of it feels half-assed; these are clearly well-crafted songs. It’s all just so stupid... This is a Super Collider-level miss from a band that seemed to have ditched this phase long ago."[13] Catharsis would go on to become Machine Head's best international chart debut, debuting at number three in Germany, number 10 in Australia, and number 12 in the UK.[14]Track listing{{Track listing| all_lyrics = Robb Flynn | all_music = Flynn, Dave McClain, Phil Demmel and Jared MacEachern | title1 = Volatile | length1 = 4:39 | title2 = Catharsis | length2 = 6:11 | title3 = Beyond the Pale | length3 = 4:31 | title4 = California Bleeding | length4 = 4:12 | title5 = Triple Beam | length5 = 4:41 | title6 = Kaleidoscope | length6 = 4:04 | title7 = Bastards | length7 = 5:04 | title8 = Hope Begets Hope | length8 = 4:30 | title9 = Screaming at the Sun | length9 = 3:55 | title10 = Behind a Mask | length10 = 4:07 | title11 = Heavy Lies the Crown | length11 = 8:49 | title12 = Psychotic | length12 = 5:02 | title13 = Grind You Down | length13 = 4:07 | title14 = Razorblade Smile | length14 = 4:00 | title15 = Eulogy | length15 = 6:34 | total_length = 74:26 }} Personnel{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}Machine Head
