Lotus is more active anyway.  It fits with the theme of the story that goes with it.  I&#8217;m also considering how OM-MINUS could be a live act, which has .0001% chance of happening, but it was an interesting direction for this album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Web stats suggest OM-MINUS is more popular than Way of the Waifu.  Not hugely popular, but it&#8217;s getting more listens than the waifu stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First pass on an album cover for Lotus.
