I like Gavin's drumming on it but I think the tunes are a little weak.Not their best effort imo. -------------  |

OSI is the beast......but on my first couple listens, I have to agree with the "doctor" on this one.......Blood is their best effort so far, IMO -------------

Agreed. None of the others is consistently solid from beginning to end as Blood is. However, I am going to buy the new one when I can find someone selling it as a download and not just a CD. ------------- http://martinwebb.bandcamp.com The notes are just an interesting way to get from one silence to the next - Mick Gooderick |

My other problem with the album is the mastering (or lack of)...the CD is on the high side of just too much compression/brick walling. Its left my system with a bad taste in its mouth....the cymbals are wayyy too shrilly tinny and just overall it sounds like my system is clipping when I play the album loud. I almost bought the vinyl version too, but now I am glad I did not as I fear it will be of same quality or simply a needle drop version....not mastered for vinyl.-------------

Oddly enough, I don't have any OSI albums, though prog metal is the genre I probably listen to most often. So, 'Blood' should be my first foray into OSI?

Definitely, it might be more straightforward than you expect, and Kevin Moore's voice is a bit of an acquired taste but Blood is the place to start, maybe Office Of Strategic Influence as well, but that album has a different feel from the rest of their albums in my opinion. -------------
