When STORM THE STUDIO came out, Disposable Heroes were still the
Beatnigs, and Consolidated's members were still making college rock
music. MBM did it first and better (and managed to avoid didacticism as
well, something I can't say for the other two groups).

Almost all the nations of the world travel this circle; to begin with,
they are barbarous; they become conquerors and well-ordered nations; this
order permits them to grow, and they become refined; refinement enfeebles
them, and they return to barbarism.
