You see, it's actually a huge breakthrough in audio technology. How a CD works is that the laser optics of the compact disc scan the disc as it spins around to create the music, but there's actually a side effect when the sound is transferred from digital data to audible sound. Usually what happens is that whatever you're playing the music on uses the data it receives from the physical surface of the disc to play the sound, but the Images And Words disc has a rare technique not achieved by any other artist. When the song Pull Me Under plays, the disc actually complexly exploits of the lasers with a sensitive spot on the surface of the disc which allows the laser to penetrate through the disc's surface area and metamorphically transform it into a mixture of the plastic disc and the laser, creating a rare chemical known as plasmic neonium. This chemical is then what the music player's laser detects and because it doesn't know how to transform its newly found data, it actually sends plasmic neonium out through the speakers.
This chemical is harmless on its own, but due to the insufficiencies of the music player, it becomes slightly altered into triplasmic protonium, which is a neurotoxin (brain chemical) that when inhaled, creates a sense of immediate amnesia. Its effects are so strong that any listener can never remember anything past that point until the section where the chemical is stopped being produced (the beginning of Another Day). This was only present in the first 130 copies of Images And Words, but it was later recalled after receiving complaints regarding sumbliminal messages potentially being placed in the unknown section, and because Atco Records didn't want any controversy regarding this scandal, they blasted any complainers with triplasmic protonium so they wouldn't remember anything that happened or why they were there in the first place. Not wanting to inform the band of what they had done, Atco re-released Images And Words with the unknown section directly cut out, and all was well again.
However, there was one flaw in their plan to cover up their brainwashing of all its original customers: triplasmic protonium actually worked by isolating the memories from the brain. This meant that they would flow into the bloodstream and drift around the entire human body for the rest of that person's life. My father was one of those people affected by the triplasmic protonium and when his sperm gave birth to me (seven and a half years after Images And Words was released), the isolated neurons (brain signals) without a purpose, had somehow infused themselves with his sperm (most likely due to the genetic modification they were given via the chemical), and thus, I was born with all the memories of what had happened. If this has happened to anyone else, I urge you to respond to this thread and spread awareness of the evil that Atco Records has gotten away with... because if we don't, who knows what other record companies may mirror this tactic in the future? We cannot let this happen again. Stand up against subliminal messages in music today, and maybe... somehow... we can make the difference between whether a whole record company's audience will be brainwashed, or whether we can be a free people of the subliminal messages in music. Stand up for your right to think for yourself... and be free...
