If there would be at least one hit song (Change/Digital Bath level) this would be my favorite record from them. And I'm not overreacting, this stuff is amazing. All songs are so solid, I can't find any weak parts at all (except Pompeji's chorus, it's too strange for me).

I think Urantia has potential to reach Change hit song level. This hook is so fuckin catchy...

Woah steady there.

can "change" even be considered a true hit? i mean it was played a good amount for a year, but after that i haven't heard it on the radio ever again, like NEVER ever EVER EVER again. they've never had a hit that the radio deemed worthy to immortalize. their hits get played (mostly after midnight) for a few months when the records are new, then never EVER again, like ever ever never. they kind of are the biggest underground band. no hits, but 3 platinum albums and 1 gold, 10 million albums sold worldwide, and diehard fans

The verse of Pompeji sounds like the verse of Phantom Bride.

Also, if Frank wants to make a solo synth record I'm all for it.

I'd say it's a hit. Whenever I look at live clips on Instagram during tours it's always change and my own summer.

Last i heard was 7.5 million, and that was stated last week.
Maybe that was just u.s sales though

Change is still played on the local rock station where I live, and it was on the Little Nicky and Queen of the Damned soundtrack, as well as some TV shows.

Change is a hit. It might not get mega radio play but it's a hit alright. The sort of song that's recognisable to rock and alternative fans of that era who may not have really listened to the band.

Given it a handful of listens now. It's such a complex album to me, so it makes me feel like it's super accessible but at the same time one that will take waaaay more listens for it to sink in.

A sign of a great album.

Time will determine where it sits in their discography but it'll be up there for sure.

Yeah, I definitely feel like it's one of their more complex. I've listened to it numerous times and I enjoy it quite a bit but I feel like I still haven't fully wrapped my head around it yet.

One of the things I'm noticing is it feels like the songs take their time building, as opposed to, say, the more simple, to the point songs on Diamond Eyes. Maybe due to the longer time lengths?

Yeah for sure! The structures feel super random but I wonder if the different tracks lengths like you say and the unusual melodies mask it all.

Mixed emotions on the whole album but all in a good way. It's weird!

is it played more where any of you live? cause here (ohio, cincinnati area) it's been since at least 2003 that i last heard it, and i might not have even heard it once that year, might be remembering wrong, but i think it was played once in lead up to Minerva being played. it was played a good amount for 10 months to a year after it first hit the radio in 2000, then nothing whatsoever. any different where some of you live?

a link for what their sales? there's a bunch of articles that say 10 million worldwide the past 2 years or so. wikipedia has gone with it and won't erase it, and the math seems to add up. i think the sales figure was released by their label

Urantia is one of the best songs they've ever written. The vocal melody and drums are *chef's kiss*

I think you'll have to define what you're classifying as a hit. It was an alternative hit, not a mainstream one. And I'm not saying it's anywhere near Last Resort or something like that. But it was big enough that it crossed over, through film soundtracks and playlists, to people who don't know the band.

Ok i haven't been following them the last 2y,its just that they said 7.5million in a ohms interview the other day, but i really hope its 10 

A reminder that this is happening on Sunday:

QuoteSunday night on @Radio1RockShow  I'm playing the fantastic new @deftones album 'Ohms' in full along with interviews with the band about its creation. PLUS some choice stuff from the BBC archives...
@BBCR1 from 9pm
#Deftones #ohms https://t.co/zcCIsBNHcj

Not a regular thing for him to play a new album in full on that show.

TSOM was the last song written for the album - in the studio, after abe and sergio were just messing around and chino sneakily said to record them from the other room

he also said there was a finished song(musically) that he tried and tried to make lyrics and melodies for, but just couldn't get there and had to walk away. so there went our 11th song, lol.

Yeah, it just didn't work out. The last track recorded that made it on to the record was TSOM.
