Damn the Machine - Damn the Machine (1993)

 

Cost: $2.00

Not a priority purchase for me even at two bucks, but it was in such good condition for a major label release, I snagged it. It even includes the original questionnaire postcard so you can let A&M Records know about your favorite radio stations and TV shows! 

Quite mellow '90s prog metal with a certain Chris Poland on guitars. Nothing offensive to note here and it's quite accessible in a positive way, and avoids being too self-indulgently quirky or complex. I suppose the downside is that it's less immediately interesting and metallic than something like '90s Fates Warning or Gar Samuelson's Fatal Opera. It was fine to have it on in the background while doing menial home office stuff, but time will tell if I'm inclined to revisit it at all.
