So my first post-intro-review will be on music. One of my favorite bands has released their new album, and it's by far one of their best. 10 Years is back and better than ever.
Machine is the band's 4th studio album since 2005. This album resembles not only hard-hitting music, but also the breaking apart between a band and a label. 10 Years felt bound to the needs of Universal Records, releasing this album on their own independent label, Palehorse Records. With their sound reverting back to the days of The Autumn Effect, the band's first studio album, many of their fans (including me, of course) are pleased. Like I said, 10 Years is back and in the swing of things. They're currently headlining the 'Cutting Like Knives' tour, referring to the track 'Knives' on the new album.

Personally, I've liked every album this band has released. I mean, obviously I loved some more than others (2010's Feeding the Wolves wasn't their best, but I still loved a lot of the songs on that album, and 2008's Division was excellent, but The Autumn Effect was the best.), but all of their music is different and still holds true to the band.
With their first single, 'Wasteland,' bursting them onto the rock scene, 10 Years has become a pretty well-known band, touring with big names like Linkin Park, Mudvayne, and Korn.
In conclusion, 10 Years has come far in their career as a band. They started out with a bang and they're certainly holding strong with their newest release. Minus the Machine bursts out with songs like the single 'Backlash,' 'Soma,' 'Knives,' and the leading title track, yet also slows down the beat with 'Forever Fields (Sowing Season).' Every track is great, and the album (as well as the previous ones) is definitely worth checking out.
