![]() ![]() Lamentingly, it isn’t much better when you search for positives here. This new rendition just feels hollow and lacks the serrated edge Manson’s version has, with that big wrecking ball riff. Not only does it feel unnecessary to make this a main track for the album, as the LP only runs at a malnourished nine tracks as it is, Richard just sounds like he’s compensating and trying to fill the void Manson left from the original track. Then there’s the redux “Hypothetical”, an excellent track that first appeared on 2014’s Silent So Long and featured Marylin Manson. “Always On My Mind” is a Frankenstein’s monster of experimentation and the results are simply disastrous, but mainly hilarious. “Always On My Mind” is so egregiously bad I can’t comprehend the level of fumbling from someone in Rammstein, without trying to understand how it got to this. However, uninspired goth-rock hues and over-gorged ballads aside, there are some really bizarre artistic choices at play here. With the exception of maybe two new tracks being note-worthy, the rest of the original tracks sound incredibly opaque, bland, and flaccid. So, it comes as a bit of a shock to see The Persistence of Memory in this state of ennui. Richard’s vocal work and approach is one that deserves commendation as well, as he’s improved tremendously over the years and brought a pithy flavour to Emigrate’s overall brand. While Emigrate lacks the panache and distinction to make his works truly pop, to the point of being exceptional feats of artistic expression, they are still bloody fun albums, filled with cool riffs, great guest spots, and a really nice production. Richard and his long-standing band Emigrate is absolutely no exception. Just what the hell was Richard thinking when he wrote Emigrate’s fourth album, and when did he think this meagre amount of dodgy content was acceptable in this state? More to the point, did he even stop and think about these things before throwing it out into the public? One thing that has always shocked me about the members of Rammstein, is just how consistent all of their work is – side projects and all. I think the biggest take away from The Persistence of Memory is one of shock and befuddlement. Overall the experience is well worth taking, though I see how it would be a smash VR game.Review Summary: The first serious misfire of Richard's career. You can even store dark matter to be used as a short range teleportation. FAB chips are used to fabricate new weapons or tools. You'll collect stimulus cells from enemies and canisters around the ship, and use these to upgrade your clones.

So, with the guiding help of the only other survivor Serena.
