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.

Famous quotes containing the words universal, culture, shock, undiscovered, numbers and/or colors:
“Example is a bright looking-glass, universal and for all shapes to look into.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Many readers judge of the power of a book by the shock it gives their feelings—as some savage tribes determine the power of muskets by their recoil; that being considered best which fairly prostrates the purchaser.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?
If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
