It is the band's second best selling album in the US, selling as many copies in three years as ''Burn My Eyes'' sold in almost eight years (1994–2002). The album has sold over 134,000 copies in the US〔http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=3145〕 and it was certified Silver in 2011 by the BPI for sales of 60,000 in the UK. == Music and lyrics== Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader quit the band in 1998 following the recording of their album ''The More Things Change...''; he was replaced by Ahrue Luster. With the recording of ''The Burning Red'', the band added new elements to its music, including a small amount of rapping vocals, a move which some believe to have been influenced by Luster himself. The album shows the band experimenting musically, using a disco drum line in "The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears", putting some rapping vocals in "Desire To Fire", and a layer of crooning vocals on "Silver". Citing the need for a few B-side tracks, producer Ross Robinson encouraged the band to record a smooth-sounding cover of the Police song "Message in a Bottle" after hearing Robb Flynn experiment with it during rehearsal. The song ended up on the album, not used as a B-side. Joel McIver said that anyone dismissing the album as nu metal has not listened to it, or is not a fan of the "atmospheric, impassioned groove-metal that Machine Head were focusing on at this stage."〔 Rick Anderson of AllMusic called the album "aggro-metal".〔 Responding to critics, McClain stated the band was not trying to emulate popular trends; they simply "wanted to sound different".〔 Flynn said that the band had been pigeonholed by those who complained that the two prior albums were too similar to each other, so the band had determined to reach for different influences on this project.〔 Amy Sciaretto of ''CMJ'' said that, despite the presence of Robinson who had produced Limp Bizkit and Korn, ''The Burning Red'' shows the progression of Machine Head's own "visceral, gut-grinding" sound rather than an imitation of Korn. The song "Five" is about a sexual abuse incident Flynn suffered as a five-year-old child. Flynn said that recording the song was difficult enough for him; he would never perform it on stage.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Burning Red」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
