OM - God is Good

I do not condone drug use, but I think in order for you to enjoy this album by indie rock band OM, you will have to be on drugs.

The first song is called "Thebes" and it is like a half hour long. That's right, apparently this band thought it would be a great idea to write a long ass song about an Egyptian king. Not only is it long, but it is also boring. Is it really too much to ask for for a band to write a long song that isn't just repeating the same shit over and over again? They go all electric with drums and shit like halfway through, but that is pretty predictable and not really much change at all. I dunno, shit's just not prog enough for my sophisticated taste I guess.

The vocals sound like the guy from the Sex Pistols, meaning they suck. This is shit we hear way too much in indie rock, and I really wish these stupid brits would just lay off and go back to making tea and crumpets and shit and leave the music to the real American heroes.

Also, the guitar sounds like shit in all these songs. They're clearly going for an "indie Metallica" kind of thing, but you just can't do that when your guitar sounds so fuzzy and bad. It's like they just plugged their guitars directly into their sound cards and let the natural sound card distortion distort their guitars.

The lyrics are alright I guess. Wait, no, they're probably not. I don't know, I didn't pay attention to them. I bet they're about Egypt and Diablo II and those Brendan Frasier Mummy movies anyway.

Anyway, I think I will copy Mr. Mysinger for this review and give the album two separate scores.

Final Score:
4.6/10

Final Score ON DRUGS:
7.5/10
