#6 Is Officially…

These Hopeful Machines

Not exactly the long-speculated “Feed The Monster,” although it’s probably a good thing the list of other embarrassingly speculated names is long gone. THM officially joins the parade of album acronyms IMA, ESCM, MISL, ET and TBU.

Not to nit-pick, but I will.

One of the above does not fit with the rest.  Which one?

The answer is a) IMA.

Either that, or let’s discuss eshem, missle, eht, and tibuh.

I suppose the acronym i is not very impressive, so I understand the reluctance, but just so we know where it comes from, it would be much appreciated to take under consideration.

Arigato gozaimashita.

aside from the obvious 今, now, which comes from jin in chinese hanzi, i remember back when the album came out, people used to say it also referred to a mountain in japan where the zen monks would go meditate.  however, i’m pretty sure there is no mount ima in japan.
