It's great to hear peoples favourite songs initially are all different.
Just keep listening from start to finish, don't trap yourself in :)

Haha. An immortal message.

On my 6th listen this morning, while waiting for the album to arrive on vinyl here.

Still i love with the album. Finding more appreciation for the first half of the record after the second half clicked instantly.

On the spell of mathematics right now and the verses remind me a bit of What Happened to You?

Depends what you ordered, some of the vinyls have been pushed back 3-ish weeks for the UK. ( I'm not sure where/ or what vendor you ordered from though.

Well my gold vinyl shipped 2 days ago, so that should arrive today from Crash Records. I pre ordered the bundles from the official UK store, but not had any shipping confirmation

Ohms closes the album perfectly. My love for this song has increased tenfold.

actually have legitimate concern about what I'm going to do on my 15-minute drive to work. I have yet to listen to one song over another. It's literally just spinning this album constantly. There's not a moment that I want to skip. I might just have to leave for work early and listen to the whole album before I clock in every day LOL. it's just mind-blowing how crazy the hype was for this album and for most people it met or exceeded that hype. even if it's not a top album for you I imagine it's a welcome return to form for basically every fan.

Pompeji is absolutely perfect in the middle of this. That synth soundscape gives you space to breath.

Urantia is amazing, it keeps getting better and better for me

a banger!

Hi everyone (sorry for my English), I haven't posted for a very long time, Gore kind of killed the hype for me...

But Ohms... wow.
The boys are back... thanks to Terry Date. What an album. Call me crazy but I think it's one of their best.
Not because it has ALL the best songs of their entire discography in it but because it's cohesive from beginning to end, with a real identity + the songs are fantastic.
Groove, energy, melodies, brutal, sensual, fresh, original and a unique atmosphere.

Tbh not everything is perfect of course but that's not what comes out here. There are finally no forced ballads, no useless interludes or songs that seem unfinished.
It's a journey from point A (Genesis) to point B (Ohms), what makes the record (IMO) the most cohesive and solid album with Diamond Eyes (with no songs to skip).

Don't get me wrong: some of their best songs are elsewhere if you listen song by song separately (more precisely on ST, WP, SNW and ATF) but the band sometimes gets lost exploring too far, trying too hard, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (Pink Cellphone, Lucky You, Teenager, Pittura Infamante, Xenon... and many more) and leave you with the feeling that some tracks are pointless or not finished.
I don't feel that way with DE and Ohms.

Maybe it will evolve with time and again it's just my opinion.
Here's my ranking :

01- DE
02- Ohms
03- ATF
04- ST
05- WP
06- KNY
07- SNW
08- Adrenaline




09- Gore

Ooo they're playing The Spell Of Mathematics on BBC 6 Music at 10:40am! Nice!

Headless is the only song I haven't totally connected with. I'll give it a few shots, but, as of now, it's the low point of an amazing album!

My orders are still showing as Packing/Not Shipped on the UK official store. I ordered the CD/tshirt bundle and the cassette bundle in two separate orders. The digital download is available on the order page now though.
