Born of Osiris MegaThread! - All things BoO

I'll check this out once it's released in the UK. BoO have always been a band where i kinda dig one or two songs per album. I just kinda feel there's always something lacking with everything they do.

Sorry if it's already been said but how are you guys listening to the new album? Is there a stream out there. The album comes out tomorrow...

It's on Spotify.

The album was alright, some great gems eclipsed by long drawn out segments of chugging on a guitar tone that was thin and scratchy. Personally I thought that a Higher Place had the most memorable melodies and unique rhythmic sections.

It's on Spotify.

Did it just get taken down? I just checked and it's not there

 

[Jake]

I'm seeing a lot of hate for the new album and im just over here enjoying it lol oh well I dig it.

 

[Housty00]

Yeah, so this is a thing now.

 

[Tyler]

I love the responses on their facebook xD
"The new Osiris album "Tomorrow We Call Richardson and Apologize". The guitar has disappeared in the new album."

Still there. I guess it's exclusive to Europe.

So, I just read there's an instrumental bonus track called "Hydr∆". Where will that be sold? It's not listed as a track on my pre-order.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Listening now, on track 5. I like it so far! Exhilarate will be an "always skip" track though. Those vocals are horrendous...

Very true

I didn't care for this band at all before "The Discovery" (which was pretty good) and this new album will make me go back to not caring about them. Jason made this band listenable for me.

 

[sakeido]

It kinda blows my mind just how bad this album is.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Imaginary Condition, Illusionist, Source Field and Vengeance... I just keep listening those 4 over and over.

Yeah these last four tracks are definitely the highlight of the album. The new BoO I was hoping for is contained in those

 

[Joose]

I fcuking love this album, minus Exhilarate.

As a whole, I enjoy it more than any other BoO album. Works for me.

 

[teamSKDM]

so the music video looks like wait and bleed to me. anyone else?

 

[zuzek]

Wow, I think most of us were relatively prepared to be listening to a poor effort of an album, but it still manages to surprise me how big of a cluster!@#% it is. It's like they took nearly everything that worked on 'The Discovery' and went "NOPE!". Between the actual content, the lolbad album title (it still makes me giggle.. the ridiculous little triangles replacing a's are very cutesy too!) and the lack of anything that resembles A Solution or The Omniscient I think I'll skip buying this one and not visit the stream again. What a shot in the foot this one is for BoO.

 

[anomynous]

That Lee McKinney pic above had something wrong with it, but I can't put my finger on it....

Fixed it.

Sumerian uploaded all the songs off the album, minus hydra unfortunately, but they are now being advertised alongside stray from the path, asking alexandria, evan brewer and city in the sea rather than veil, periphery, and the other good bands on that label. I know they've said in the past that they don't have full creative control so it's possible that Sumerian is trying to turn them into a more marketable band; Lee and Cameron have written some solid music before Jason was around so I refuse to believe that his departure was the sole reason for this change.

On another note, some of the tracks are growing on me more now but I still find the first half of the album very generic and un-listenable
