I appreciate that Born of Osiris is continuously changing, where no album sounds alike, but they all sound like BoO, which is something many bands fail to pull off. Some bands are actually scared of experimenting and changing their sound for fear of being considered sellouts, and to be fair, some bands do sell-out, but not BoO. Some bands get tired because they make the same stuff, where their discography becomes fan service. So bands are stuck between being accused of fan service and being accused of selling out.
I stopped listening to them after the discovery because the sound they went after that album just wasn't for me Discovery is still the best , but I'm biased towards new reign as it was my introduction to them, and as you said, abstract art is phenomenal. Best song they've ever made imo I heard that they re did it (eternal reign) And apart from a few songs (empire erased brace legs for example) I feel like it lost the grit that the original EP had Was going to pick up where I left off and give their newer stuff a try but every ranked video I've seen is giving me no reason to give the other albums a listen I think I'll re visit their first three projects again haha Great video
Very well said. They're one of those bands where there's value in most releases, but not in all entire releases. Albums like Discovery and New Reign are just in a league of their own
Yeah it's been just some choice deep cuts ever since that album. They peaked with Discovery but I'm glad they've still put out some solid material since.

Just discovered this channel and I love what you have to say about each album and the band as a whole. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot man \m/

I quit listening to this band when throw me in the jungle came out... I hardly ever go back and listen to these guys
