God is fine! Like, he’s pretty alright. Good? I don’t know if I’d go so far to say he’s good, but I’ve never been much for hyperbole. God’s totally adequate. A real 6/10, that God. Not everyone agrees with my lukewarm assessment on higher powers, though. Take drone-metal institution OM. They feel strongly enough about the goodness of God that they named their 2009 album God Is Good. Hey, if you say so, guys! Let’s agree to disagree.
Whether God is good or bad or fine or real or fake, one thing’s for sure: OM are going on tour next month. They’ll be playing a string of dates primarily in the Northeast and Midwest. The band last released Advaitic Songs in 2012, though they are currently working on a new album. To summarize, OM going on tour, album coming sometime in future, jury still out on God.
