The album cover features an indian in a space helmet with horns on it standing in front of what appears to be the World Trade Center Twin Towers rendered in stone behind which is a lunar scene featuring what appears to be ruins of some sort of built habitation. THe term Monolith in the album title therefore refers to the black monolith from Kubricks "2001 - A Space Odyssey" implies the album cover is telling us there is something on the moon and it has to do with human history/spirituality and our present period. That the band is known to have esoteric influences underscores this interpretation. The song "On THe Other Side" therefore refers to the "other side" of the astral veil, or the state of in-between lives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.113.204.238 (talk) 01:09, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
