Chino specifically said  that "i reject both sides of what I'm being told" was about politics. But i guess you as a listener could make up whatever meaning u want

lol really? source?

New album out and u dont listen to the interviews? Lol

I've read / listened to every one and missed that part. Which one was it?

Straight off the bat on battlecry opening track 'Genesis', Moreno plants his flag firmly in the ground. "I reject both sides of what I'm being told," he squawks.
"That's a strong statement in these political times when everyone is barking at each other: 'I'm right', 'No, I'm right', 'No, I'm right', 'No, I'm right'," says Moreno. "My response is that I don't trust anybody."
"I just said it in that song and thought about changing it because we've never been a political band.
To leave it in there was scary, but I'm happy with it."

Not sure if it was mentioned yet but Zach Hill is one of the snapping fingers on The Spell of Mathematics.

Okay, so it is a political statement. Getting upset about it kind of proves Chino's point IMO. He's just saying he doesn't belong to any political party and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I am in total agreement with this and the statement made. Thinking for yourself is one of our dearest freedoms. Now let's get back to Ohms Awesomeness!

having a guest guitarist, when 2 in the band play guitar, is weird, but bringing in someone as a guest to snap his fingers is even weirder.
maybe he produced the drum machine in tsom

Not saying it's a bad song at all but the more I listen to this album, the more Genesis sticks out negatively.

Special Guest Finger Snapper LOL
The years of practice needed must have been daunting...

it really sounds good though.. can't deny it

[Digital Bat_]

This album is entirely insane! Every song feels like an album if you give em ten times repeat. And today I am stuck with Headless and the part that Chino singing after "you seek desire... someday..." makes me insane cause I have to know what is he saying. Any ideas?

[Inkblades]

Once Ohmsthony Notafantano finds out the Death Grips guy snaps his fingers on the album he'll change his score to a 9/10.

I bought the Record through iTunes, I also went to 2 local record stores to buy the CD this week as well and they had not come in yet. Strange...Betting week 2 sales will be close to week 1.

No. Album sales are collapsing year on year. Add in a global pandemic too.
