The Opaque Brotherhood
The Opaque Brotherhood is the third studio album by American hip hop supergroup Dark Lotus. Released on April 15, 2008, it peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart, No. 45 on the Billboard 200, No. 45 on the Top Internet Albums chart and No. 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[2] AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason praised the album, writing "Nothing on The Opaque Brotherhood will convince anyone who isn't already a fan, but the tormented lyrics and matter-of-fact delivery remove a layer or two of distance and artifice from the band's familiar themes, and make them that much more disturbing as a result."[1] A "Deluxe Edition" of the album was released in August 2008, adding four additional songs.[3]

gollark: They should at least... take themselves seriously enough to make the UI minimal and usable and not create problems like the QR-code-login thing with unclear language.
gollark: There's probably a marketing team or something trying to deliberately design the ridiculous "Wumpus is lonely" and whatnot messages to appeal more to... someone?
gollark: Do any of these people actually like to see stuff like "Here's a Wumpus for now" in the UI?
gollark: And some languages have a grammatical formal/informal distinction - and they use the formal grammar, but with the really informal wording - which makes it even weirder.
gollark: Apparently they try and use the same sort of thing in other languages...
