Surely this will be another one of them, so break out your investigation equipment. The electronic effects on the track are maniacal, futuristic, and completely slamming. Koichi certainly left his mark on the world, and on this blistering song, by giving it to us with force before his departure from Static-X. Tony also works very hard on this track. The darker, slower, moodier songs have the type of affect that add a wicked, sexual glint to the metal. This track makes you think evil thoughts.
Evil is good.
In fact, just slide the CD into your player, crank it up, and leave it on constant rotation for a while. This is the quintessential new Static-X song that brings everyone's talents into the spotlight and adds a bit of steam to the mix. Listening to Machine is like hearing the background music for a scene by an out of control, menacing, industrial robot. I'm just waiting for this band to be tapped for a movie score. It's like molten metal fusing itself to the eardrums.
