Ohms: pre-release hype thread

[sharinglungs]

It'll be something different that's for sure... hopefully we'll know in the next couple of days..

I think it's the tour poster girl, but you never know?

Doesn't make sense to have basically released the album at so far ahead of time on a tour poster. I'm banking on something sort of washed out, sort of blurred soft colors. I'm also banking on that "tear" to be some running makeup/eyeliner. I think something that pronounced in the dot-form would have to be dark.

 Still not sure about the whole "insect on the nose" thing. Would be cool if it was steam, coming up off of water. So maybe a woman in a bathtub (going back to Chino's old Twitter profile pic) of hot water. Maybe the thing on the nose is a rose petal from the bath water or something?

Actually, now that I'm writing it, that's my bet: woman in a hot bathtub, steam rising, running eyeliner, rose petal or some sort off leaf-type thing clinging to her face.

MetalSucks is straight up saying the album is slated to come out on September 25th instead of "rumored to" or something like that.

My final guess: just sad crying eyes and staying with the dot composition. I'm probably wrong, but that's what I'll go with.

Bottom of the article may be what he's referring to.

Wow, no. I'm surprised it's still there.

[imbrie]

...

Yeah

[sharinglungs]

...

Yes, but the original post was removed.

[nicklav]

Yes, I can see it.

Edit: not the actual post, but the title and comments as others have said.

[Formant]

I am not able to see the content within the post, but the post's title remains, as do the comments.

[sharinglungs]

...

No the post is gone.

[imbrie]

...

The thread and comments are there but the content of the original post has been removed but it states the album title and potential month of release in the thread title.

They might have had the url saved or in their browser history.

RE: the cover. I changed my mind.

If they ARE eyes (and I'm still not convinced they are, as the right one seems out of alignment), the thing obstructing the right eye is the tip of fingers. More notably, hands pressed together in prayer. It works. Check the position and alignment. Eyes looking skyward, the potential weeping or runny eyeliner as someone is weeping as they pray, hands pressed together in front of them.

Interesting theory.
