While everything is kept at a smoulder--the words unclear, the tempos slow--this new Om album is anything but boring.
-
UncutThe religious theme intimated by the title ensures that there is more going on with each track than mere mindless dirge. [Nov 2009, p.99]
-
No matter the new producer (Steve Albini), new label, or new percussionist (Emil Amos replacing Chris Hakius), Om's droning bass/drum take on heavy metal still resounds.
-
God is Good shows a clear effort to steer their boat past the Nile, past Yemen, and into new territory.
-
If more church music sounded like what Cisneros, Amos, and Albini achieve on God Is Good, then maybe those pews would be a little fuller, too.
