Advaitic Songs
Advaitic Songs is the fifth studio album by the band Om, released on July 24, 2012. The album has received a generally favorable response from both fans and critics, though its reception was more mixed than past works. The album has a 67 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[6] Still, on sites such as Rate Your Music the album received a rating similar to their other albums.[7] Fans were also somewhat split over the album, as some felt it moved away too much from the band's earlier, heavier sound. As with Pilgrimage and God Is Good, Advaitic Songs' album cover again visits Abrahamic Iconography. The cover of Advaitic Songs features an image of John the Baptist.
