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.

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.
