There is a deep stillness and beauty at the heart of this thunderstorm of distorted and guitar and tribal crashing drums. God Machine seemed to speak of the divine at work in the seeming madness of the world. Stranger and deeper than any of the other rock of the time, and has matured with age.

Peace Jimmy, in the void.

One of the most powerful and moving rock/metal records ever done, period. Although you can still smell an influence of grunge (there was a hardly a way to get around in 1992), God Machine were onto something special here. Furious tracks like "I've Seen The Man" and "Out" both of which are dealing with anger and confusion are interspersed with weird (and sometimes eerie) atmospheric numbers like "Seven" (featuring extended clarinet solo) and "Purity" all of which make album stand out head and shoulders above work of many rock bands who were active in the early 90s.
History and fate weren't very kind to God Machine, but it also makes for an understanding why there's very little forced emotions on this album. At the very least this album provided a glimpse into what could've been, if it wasn't for their tragic demise just two years after this record was released.
