Universal Culture Shock/Undiscovered Numbers & Colors
Universal Culture Shock/Undiscovered Numbers & Colors is a two-disc compilation album by American experimental metal band Foreign Objects released on October 31, 2004 by Distant Recordings. The first disc, Universal Culture Shock, is an album of previously unreleased material featuring guest guitarist James Murphy. Universal Culture Shock was originally intended to be the band's follow-up album to their 1995 debut EP, The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors, but after changing their direction and regrouping under the band name Oil in 1996, Foreign Objects was put aside until 2003, when vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller and drummer Jess Margera decided to begin re-recording the songs from the album. The second disc in the compilation is a remastered version of the band's original EP, The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors.

“The world still wants its poet-priest, a reconciler, who shall not trifle with Shakspeare the player, nor shall grope in graves with Swedenborg the mourner; but who shall see, speak, and act, with equal inspiration. For knowledge will brighten the sunshine; right is more beautiful than private affection; and love is compatible with universal wisdom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.”
—Claude Monet (1840–1926)
