Somewhat surprised that I'm the only vote for Headless

[Hidalgo]

i voted for Ohms. the guitar riffs are just so good the whole way through. also the video is their best ever (imo), so that helps, the ending riffs part of the video is just so awesome(the whole video is, but that's my favorite part).

but like i said the other songs are too new to me now, so no clue how i'll feel in a month or 2. loving them all

[E-Money]

Ceremony is such a banger.

Surprised some aren't liking Urantia. That chorus is so unique to me... I almost wish he repeated it one more time.

And the end of Error might be my favorite 2 minutes of music they have ever created!

[FatherUppercut]

I'm actually shocked no one is putting it out there for This Link is Dead. There's some definite teenage angst my 40 yr old ass kinda laughs at, but it's nostalgic

@laurapalmer - Headless is my no. 2 pick. Ask me tomorrow and it might be 1 - it's 100% in contention. So far I've seen it make a few peoples top 3

[FatherUppercut]

also, i'll be that guy. The Spell of Mathematics ain't all that. Come get some!... lets watch how wild it gets

So..... 2 or 4 years till the next album guys? 😅

[SMLiberator]

Well, if we're counting Black Stallion, then that's just a couple months away 

[N0S3BLEED976]

The harmonizing oooohs in Urantias chorus are so beautiful. Oh and Abes snares sound like fucking gunshots. Ceremony, Spell, Error are also instant top-tier songs

[Gaz]

After so many listens, the weakest track for me is TLID, maybe in time it will click with me. It's such a great album that feels like a mix of S/T, KNY and SNW

A return to form!

[IN WAVES]

I voted for Radiant City, but I honestly didn't know which one to vote for. They are all so good.

Make that two

There's a lot of Gore on Ohms, too. Lyrically and aesthetically it reminds me a lot of their best ideas from Gore. There are some parallels between Pittura Infamante and Pompeji, Xenon and Error, Acid Hologram and Spell

The pre chorus of Radiant City gives me such ATF vibes

[Sleeping_Giant]

BS should be out in November (according to Chino).

[Shells]

Still no sign of uk preorder shipping

Yeah, for me neither. Ended up up buying it in FLAC so that I at least had the music but would like to check out the liner notes etc.

First listen: bummed out, didn't really understand what I just heard. No instant earworms. Some parts of the songs and riffs felt even out of their place. Thought that maybe Gore had better songs like Phantom & Hearts/Wires for example. But the problem was actually me and my expectations.

After 4th listen: to me this is now album of the year, maybe even album of the last few years, but definitely album of their entire career. #1. Period. My previous favorite was SNW or S/T.

It's incredible that on their 9th record they're able to flip the script with a this kind of a masterpiece. This one is musically on a new level. Even if Stef went for 9 string guitar he plays more in the higher register than in a last decade which is where I feel his creativity shines. Playing from lower register is actually harmonically more limited. Frank also stepped up in a major way on this one. It almost feels like he stood up and took a place of Chino's guitar.

Every song is a trip in itself and every left turn that first felt weird is now just as it should be and feels natural. Ohms makes perfect sense as a last track (and I also totally understand why it was the first single). It kinda releases the tension that the arch of the album has. Also when the Genesis video dropped it was a letdown after Ohms video but now it makes perfect sense when you look at that visual playlist as a cohesive work of art. This album has layers behind layers.

Long live OHMS!

I had the same experience the first time, I felt complete apathy towards most of the record. It took like 3 listens to comprehend what I just heard.
