About "Church of the Machine"

[W1cked]

Guys i need just 1 Q...
i have the Original CD of "Twilight in Olympus"...& i was wondering, doz the song "Church of the Machine" ends suddenly like a cut?? or its just my CD has this version?

 

[SevenString]

yeah, it's an abrupt cut into a quiet passage

 

[Progbass]

yup, it's ment to be like that, I think it's a cool ending

 

[RobbM]

i find it rather annoying myself, and surprised that Mike let it go like that, without a fade, or something...

 

[PoisonSeed]

I don't really mind, cause i always listen to the whole album from the beginning to the end anyway

IMO, Twilight is one of the best CD's to just play from beginning to end. It's amazing.

I remember back in 1992 when Dream Theater did that sudden ending thing with "Pull Me Under". I've been a fan of that type of dynamic ending ever since. Currently I'm even writing a song for my band that has a sudden ending.

I like that..'dynamic ending'..nicely put.

Absolutely! Although I've got no problem in doing that with all SX cd's except maybe the first one since I can't stand Rod Tyler's singing. Damn. I really hope they re-record a few of those debut songs...

As mentioned here quite a few times, they're not redoing the entire cd. They may redo a few songs when they go in to record the new cd, but the debut cd won't be rerecorded as a whole.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

I would like to hear some re-do old tracks live... and then, they would make some special "fan-club" CD with the entire debut album played live...

Speaking of sudden endings to songs. One that comes to mind and really pisses me off (cause it could've been much better) is Theocracy - Mountain. Great song but the song gets my vote for 'stupidest abrupt ending'.

really? what made them change there minds?

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

They got caught up in touring, and they want to add some more new material before they go back and do old stuff.

I'm not a big fan of the abrupt endings, but for songs like "Church of the Machine" and "Pull Me Under", they work really well.

Yes, it's really amazing how a great singer can bring up a song like 80%

You're right I've read that. Anyway, a few songs would be quite ok ... :Spin:

[COLOR=dark orange]well yeah...but its better if it is attached w/ Sonata...
it's kinda a waste ..n e way..who gives a fuk..THE ALBUM is a fuking PIECE OF ART![/COLOR]

Alright since we are on the topic of church of the machine, what is the meaning of the song, I cannot figure it out for the life of me. I suck with lyrics.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

I think is some kind of sci-fi story about a machine mastermind... trying to "assimilate" (yeah, like the borgs) humans... "twisted baptism of fire, between machine and man".

Or something like that...
