Funny story about that album. Me and some friends dropped a shitload of acid with some chicks back in the 90's. This album had just come out. The girls loved it. One song, closer I think, got stuck on repeat for like 6-7 hours. Nobody could figure out how to switch the tracks. I can never hear that song without thinking of that night. Good times.

Oh God, I can only imagine listening to that album on acid, it's dark and tripped out enough like this. And "Closer" is the most accessible track, so probably put you in some sort of mantra with that beat. Great story.

P.S. "Owner of the Lonely Hearts" will always be a classic, although it's considered like a pop era of Yes, I still like it.

What are your thoughts on this one? I think Warrel Dane drags the whole thing down. His range is clearly gone, and even his timbre seems to take random expeditions into the land of 'what the hell key am I in again'. That said, even if the predominately lower end guitar doesn't give him much to work with, they can still pretty clearly put a neat song together. Medicated Nation, Sentient 6, and the title track are all pretty good, and it's no coincidence that those are the ones that deviate from the stringent verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure the most. Too often it goes for mood over music and trips over itself.

So this is a double album with a really long runtime from a few years back. I have to admire them for putting in the work on a debut like this, but man it can be a slog. They could really use some interplaying harmonies in a second guitar because for this kind of runtime you really want to give the listener as much to chew on as possible. There are some good riffs here, and the album's at its best when in lets the leads just go nuts. Dude's got some good melodic sensibilities. I still can't 100% recommend it, though.

Well, I can't say I was the biggest fan of the band, but this album has an interesting combination of modern melodic death/progressive/thrash metal sound (I should say, more polished production from the older records) and almost like power metal singing, but not really, really specific thing. I kinda like that it's not the usual high-pitched power metal singing, but not going for some rough vocals, it makes the music more authentic. Since 2008, when I first heard it, "Born" and "Medicated Nation" were my favorites. The riffs, guitar work, and drumming are fantastic, I like the lower tuning. Over time I appreciate the record much more. I wouldn't listen to it every day, but I think this album deserves more credit.
