"Your specimen has been processed."

Okay, I know I briefly talked about this in my previous "I am the Walrus" blog, but now that I rediscovered it, I can't stop listening to it. The song is "The Device has been Modified."



It is a really techno sounding song, which is something I really love. I have always loved songs that get you pumped up, but I feel like a lot of those songs these days contain dubstep, so it is nice that this one has no dubstep. It is super creepy, especially because it is a robot that says most of the lyrics. And I'm sure we have all had that idea or dream that one day robots/technology would take over the world--or maybe that is just me. Not to mention the lyrics are weird:

Please proceed into android hell.

What does that even mean? But that is what I like about the song. It is so different, and I had never heard a song that incorporates a robot type voice before this one.

This song reminds me of a cartoon character in a video game, running down a hallway, being chased by some technologic creature; if it can make it past a certain point, you win. If it is eaten by the robot, you die. It has that suspensful sound to it, the kind that could be played if you are trying to runaway/escape from something.

Overall, I think this song is definently worth getting checked out. Maybe it won't be your favorite. But I highly doubt you have ever heard anything like it before.
