You know, Illud Divinum Insanus could've been kinda interesting. I think they should've taken the route of Godflesh, old Pitchshifter, and old Fear Factory instead of Channeling the popular industrial bands. They could've been real awesome that way.

Maybe. It still would've been weird. Maybe if it was a more gradual change, but they come back after 8 years of nothing and release this.... THING. The long absence and then a return with an abrupt change of style wasn't a very good move. Even if they somehow made something that sounded completely awesome by industrial-metal standards, I still don't think that it would've gone over well with the metal world...

I would have loved an album that sounded like Soul of a New machine-era Fear Factory. Instead, we get something that rips off Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.

Maybe... hey even Rob Zombie and Marylin Manson are okay... they just do what they're supposed to do. But for Morbid Angel to sound like them? Totally disgraceful... They might have pulled it off if they did better industrial, like you said, but they should've also toned it down so it wasn't so prevalent throughout the album. For instance, perhaps they'd do maybe 3 industrial-metal tracks and have the rest be death metal. That may have worked, but I guess it doesn't matter because we'll never know.

Their stuff even before then was pretty impressive. I find their demo work to be much darker than in their debut album. Here's some songs from there (if only I knew how to actually make the vids show).
So yeah, having a Morbid Angel album that sounds like Godflesh and old FF would've been real neat.
You're probably right on that point. I still think that some fans would end up pissed off and feeling betrayed, but the album might not have gotten such a bad reception. It might have been an album that a bunch of people could actually enjoy, rather than the Illud Divinum Insanus that we have today.

I've heard people call David Vincent a racist before.. But I can't find any proof of this in interviews on Youtube or anywhere online. Anyone know where people would get the idea he's a racist from?

Okay, thanks for that link man! But damn I still wish I could find the interviews where he 'went off the deep end' haha
The other thing that made me interested in this is that on the Youtube vid for Where The Slime Live, there seems to be a lot of comments claiming that the song is about the Jews

I don't know what he is like now, but at the start of MA he was. At the time he had close affiliations with a couple of the high people in the in the white power movement in the US.

HO shit! That's crazy. He seems like the kind of a person who is a bit too open minded.
