Engineering Consent
from Eunoia by Corrupt Moral Altar
lyrics
We've found our christ
his name is money.
Nothing left, it's all for nothing
when we are in the ground our bodies rotting
What's left for us, what is left
when it's about engineering consent?
When we are in the ground and our bodies rotting (rotting)
What's left for us, what is left,
when it's about engineering consent?
Our selfishness manifests itself in so many different ways (ways)
That it hard to pin down where it comes from and what it is.
Crawl through as you claw to your observations.
I just need to look at you and I see the decline of civilisation.
We need to detach ourselves from these psychological attachments.
Deconstruct the double helix in pursuit of answers
Pursuit of forgiveness.
Ageing for each other as I age for you
what is left for us, what is left?
When all our lives they go about engineering our consent.
This is a letter of defeat, a token of my resentment.
I'm tired of peering from this hole to just get pushed deeper inside it.
This is a letter of defeat a token of my resentment.
I'm tired of peering from this hole
to only get pushed back inside it.
Crawl through as you claw to your observations
I just need to look at you and I see the decline of civilisation.
we have to detach ourselves
from the psychological attachments
deconstruct the double helix in the pursuit of answers.
We all desire something new
ageing for each other as I age for you.
What is left for us, what is left?
When all they do is go about engineering our consent.
Selfishness manifests itself
in so many different ways
That it's hard to pin down where it comes from
and what it is.
This modern malaise is in its birth throws
wherever I steer this penetrating eye
It gazes back at you.
Shattered and adrift
caught in a waking dream
Through the plastics we sift
While shards of bone gleam.
Shattered and adrift
Caught in a waking dream
through the plastics we sift
while shards of bone gleam.
his name is money.
Nothing left, it's all for nothing
when we are in the ground our bodies rotting
What's left for us, what is left

When we are in the ground and our bodies rotting (rotting)
What's left for us, what is left,
when it's about engineering consent?
Our selfishness manifests itself in so many different ways (ways)
That it hard to pin down where it comes from and what it is.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

The Molten Larva is one of, if not THE MOST, pissed off track(s) I've ever heard thus far..

A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck.

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONEsupported by 51 fans who also own “Engineering Consent”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10
