As If Everything Was Held In Place

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Of Machines' sole full-length album, 'As If Everything Was Held In Place', is a distinctive work of experimental post-hardcore, noted for its fusion of intricate, atmospheric guitar melodies and prominent electronic textures. The album's sound is defined by the interplay between high-pitched, emotionally-charged clean vocals and standard screamed vocals, set against a backdrop of energetic drumming and ambient, synth-laden passages. While its production has been noted for a machine-like and heavily layered quality, the record is recognized for its creative arrangements and technical instrumentation that set it apart from many of its contemporaries at the time.
