dont force it.

the music just doesnt have the same energy. it sounds lathargic and uninspired.

just boring imo

this. and they're falling away from the genre that I LOVED about them. now it's all only about electronics everywhere - Minus the Bear, 65dos.. Eh.
well said about both bands.

What?  Seriously?  Wow, I can't believe you guys really think it's THAT bad.  I feel like the synth has always been a pretty prevalent, maybe not as much as Omni, but it's not like it's some brand new direction.  I really like it so far, I kinda wish they would've incorporated China White somewhere, I love that song.  If I have any complaints, it's that the overall feel of the album didn't really turn out the way I thought it would after hearing that song and Into the Mirror.

I like those two songs we heard about 6 months ago more than anything else on Omni.

Listened through this album twice, not feeling it at all. To freaking cheesy for my taste really.

definitely feel you.  i liked broken china a lot when it came out and thought into the mirror was ok but more or less a throwaway song for mtb.  i liked my time when it came out.  loved the catchyness and pop sensibilities and everything but i was really hoping that was just like the pop song of the album.  i think i was really expecting something more like planet of ice.  ive listened to it about 2 and a half times now and i just find myself becoming more and more disappointed.

Idk what u guys are talking about the album is sick.  Im going to see them Friday in DC and im stoked.  Never seen them before, head they put on a decent show.

I've always though their lyrics are cheesey to be honest.
All the songs are about drinkin and pulling chicks - don't mind general lyrics so much, but as a whole was very disappointed with the album.

Got one of my friends onto Planet of Ice - and she dug it. Showed her Omni, and she said "WTF, sounds like Matchbox 20"

Kinda ruined it for me right there.

I actually enjoyed the new songs live when I saw them a month ago...but yeah, the new album got old pretty quickly.

Meeeeeeeh.
Listened through it once but the experience just was not rewarding.



I am becoming old and stupid since I bitch about every single new decision any of old bands that I used to listen to makes.

Dear Minus The Bear, I am sorry but this is not working for me anymore.
But its not just you, its also me. We grew apart like an old couple. I didn't like Omni, but decided to stick with you for one last album, in hope that things would change. But nothing changed, I find this album just as boring.

Your concerts were fun and I will listen to your old stuff from time to time, so peace out

at least we all still have Highly Refined Pirates?
