It&#8217;s got some good tracks on it, but it will never truly be finished.  Treblo&#8217;s sound is too different from Udio&#8217;s.  I tried to finish &#8220;REINCARRION&#8221; with Treblo, but, I can tell the difference in the sound.  I don&#8217;t want both sounds on one album, so I&#8217;m leaving &#8220;REINCARRION&#8221; as is, and moving on to &#8220;Lotus,&#8221; which is nearly finished.  Treblo&#8217;s sound seems to have shifted a bit since I started.  Some of the older tracks don&#8217;t play as well as I&#8217;d like with the newer tracks, but I think I can fix it.  The older tracks may get replaced and moved to a B-side album.  Well, the one&#8217;s that haven&#8217;t been replaced and moved already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here&#8217;s the intro and the first track to Lotus, which go together &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Not the Final Death,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.wayofthewaifu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01_Not_the_Final_Death.ogg\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Not the Final Birth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.wayofthewaifu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02_Not_the_Final_Birth.ogg\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OM-MINUS albums are soundtracks for the XTIN story universe (the one finished XTIN graphic novel is available on Gumroad in the link at the top of the page). XTIN is brutal, adult cosmic horror drawn in an American comic art style.  It seems that people like XTIN better than Way of the Waifu, much to my surprise, because XTIN seemed like the one that would lose when I came up with the idea for Way of the Waifu.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a story for the next chapter of Way of the Waifu.  Lotus is the soundtrack for an XTIN story that I have stuck in my head.  In a fantasy world with no other demands on my time, which should I draw?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above art is the album cover for Alpha and Beta.
