I pressed up a limited run of CDs for this album since it was so successful in digital form. The CDs are very bare bones (e.g. no track list) and thus a bit cheaper than my other CDs.
Includes unlimited streaming of Broken Clock : Skeleton Key
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
Continuing with the theme of trading personal choice for social acceptance, I poke fun at employees who dress according to a computer program.
lyrics
You dress like
A robot.
Generic genetics embedded in the general public
Influence implemented in public
Invented the subjects discussed with much less
Success than the meaning of sunsets.
Sign in at the front desk, make love in the back seat
Stop asking “What’s next?” and swallow the vaccine
Pain to suppress, resolution was last seen
Attributing the stress to unrest and bad dreams
The good times are neutral
And it’s funny hat day, so wear whatever suits you
The who’s who of what’s what is what’s up
Break room’s open until everybody shuts up
Toxic gossip radiates as a great escape for the lazy apes
Trading grace for a pay raise
And save face whenever the boss is late
Not invading personal office space
“Get off my case!” says the untied shoe
“I lost my faith once I knew I’m only here to be stepped on”
Expressing humanity in a binary dress code
“Get off my case!” says the untucked shirt
“I lost my faith once I’d done my work and got paid with a pit stain”
Expressing humanity in a binary dress code
“Get off my case!” says the human born in uniform
Moving towards a norm sworn to secrecy
If people need name tags to get the job done
I’mma start writing rhymes butt naked.
“I’m a robot too!” Dezmatic scratched by DJ Cam One

A friend of mine back in 2004 pointed me to this track and I was mesmerized. Been a huge Illogic fan ever since! Very nostalgic listening to this again presently. I would love to get this album in vinyl record to add to my collection. :) fyrin

I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree
