Reviews & Discussion
It is a disappointment that an album as rich and coherent as this has become a moment of the past. The most memorable are divided between 'lilith/eve' (why is there a slash?), 'limiter', and 'ancestor cult.' This is the epitome of industrial, as bands like TKK, NIN, and Skinny Puppy were at their peak. A perfect amalgamation of hard rock and electronics bordering on techno, this unit managed to blend religion with sarcasm without including blood, gore, or tits. They even skip vulgar language, sexist remarks, and racial comments. Machines of Loving Grace don't even have any experimental tunes or bipolar ones on Concentration. Although there is no lyric book, this phrase is forever etched into the neurons in my brain, "don't place faith in human beings; human beings unreliable things... a hurricane triggered by butterfly wings." 'Limiter' was the standout in the beginning, but as I became a devout listener, the evidence pointed to the fact that 'ancestor cult' deserved the crown, hands down.
