Omne Datum Optimum, the third full length from The Templars, is out again now. Omne Datum Optimum is a unique release in the discography of The Templars. Unlike their first two albums, and the over a dozen albums and EPs that would follow, Omne Datum Optimum was not produced in their home studio. With the support of their label they recorded in a professional studio, Atlanta's Bakos Ampworks. The results were incredible, The Templars songwriting and performances were captured with newfound clarity. Out of print since 1998, Omne Datum Optimum is a singularly important album not only in The Templars' discography, but also American punk. Check out You Decide below and grab a copy while you can. The color variants of this reissue sold out in five minutes (!) so don't sleep on it.
