Thanks art. Keyword 'trying' though, unfortunately the AIDS is far too widespread now.

Damage Inside only serves some purpose as an indicator of just how fucking horrible depression feels. Otherwise, it's a crying shame that they could have done so much more with it as a power ballad like Darkness Within or the likes.

I'll take advantage of the thread to ask why I have found so many comparisons between fear factory and machine head? or it's just something that I just came up with?




Well... Machines are made in Factories. There's your parallel. So, you are not wrong! :]

Just randomly listened to this again; actually a pretty sweet record and sounds amazing. So frustrating what happened to this band.

Jamin, good LP.

Imaginal Cell lyrics are, to the point, IMO



We're in a critical phase of human civilization

That our survival is really in question

There is generally a feeling

That there's something happening

People have been exposed of course to the whole concept of peak oil

To climate change, to population explosion

The doomsday clock keeps moving closer

Religious people are talking about the end times

Present state of disorganization

What seems to be happening is that people are beginning to realize

How many of these are real crises

Or how many of these are crises as a result of limitations of our belief system?

While our civilization's structures become so rigid

And it can no longer adapt to the changing situations

There's a great increase in mental illness

There are signs of when these civilizations come to an end

There's a sense of alienation within the population

A very large increase in violent crime, social disruption

Some of the beliefs that we have bought into affect the entire population so

And surprisingly an interest in religious cultism

As societies start to begin to disintegrate

These weapons of mass distraction

Which are now falling apart as we're seeing

Life being exposed time and time again, every day, every week

What they've been distracting us from

Is our true power, the true nature of human nature

Our power to evolve

Our power to become cells in the organism called humanity

And there's the exciting story of our own power to evolve

Our own true nature and our own evolutionary

(2 of 2)

Medicine started out as a healing art to help others

But over time and in our materialistic world

And a world based on corporations

Industries that thrive by making money out of sick people

But the environment's changing

We are at this very moment

In a stage where corporations are teeter-tottering

Because they can't maintain themselves anymore

They've grown too big and they have too little awareness

To maintain this world

And while they are doing their destruction of the planet

A new series of people are coming out of the old

Just like we talked about the imaginal cells

But imaginal cells have a different vision of the world

And why this is important for us

Is because it is a world of relationship

Nobody can get off the bus, we're all in this together

We see that we are indeed really approaching a change of civilization

It really is a lesson for us

We're in the throes of a new evolution

A new civilization is manifesting, a greater civilization is manifesting

Creative minorities arise

The imaginal cells are people that are saying

"There's another way to do this

There's a better, brighter image that's much more successful

Than the one we're doing"

The precursors of the next level of our evolution

The fractal image will repeat itself

It's not a coincidence

We know where we've been, we know where we're going

And all I have to say is

Just stay out of way of the dinosaurs as they crash

And allow us to take over this planet

And bring in the new ideas that the imaginal cells will offer

To support and encourage our survival as a civilization on this planet



Too good, to not post it in a comment.

I've been following MH for a long while now, and for some reason had basically skipped giving Locust and B&D a proper listen (I was aware of the singles, though, and I've seen them a few times live since those records came out).

This one in particular turns out to be quite strong. The run from track 1 to 7 is top tier. However I usually end up skipping In Comes the Flood, I think the verses are awful; Damage Inside being largely an ambient track also gets the same treatment. Game Over is good on its own, and I feel like would have made a great closer to the album track 8 maybe (get rid of Flood, leave Damage). And I feel nothing for Take Me Through the Fire either, so that one can go too.



Anyways, I ended up liking this one quite a bit in the end, it's slightly better than Locust, and definitely stronger than Ashes; I see it as the ideal companion to Blackening.
