Honestly all I can listen to is a couple of songs by them. The one that sounds coherent, really. Most of their stuff just sounds annoying and noisy. Omar's label holds some other bands that I absolutely love though, Tera Melos is one of them.

Cedric (https://twitter.com/cedricbixler_) is on Twitter and is posting some incredible stuff from the old days of TMV and ATDI, including lyric sheets for Soothsayer off The Bedlam in Goliath and Frances the Mute.

 And the single is The Malkin Jewel, which means we'll hear both this song and Zed and the Two Naughts (from the MLB The Show soundtrack) before the album's release. The single is to be released on Valentine's Day and Amazon already has the sample clip up for teasing. It's certainly not what I would expect from a Mars Volta clip. The chorus gives me a 'The Raconteurs' vibe. Still, I'm loving pumped for the 14th to hear this song in its entirety. Webbeh fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Feb 8, 2012 |

For some reason it really reminds me of some Black Sabbath song that I can't put my finger on.. The melody specifically. It's pretty cool though and the production sounds like it's been notched up again which is always great.

It's definitely a well put together song (from what I can hear in that sample) but I'm not really feeling it. I guess I just like their proggy side more than anything. Still, I have good hopes for the rest of the album. I didn't like The Widow much either but loved most of the rest of Frances.

Cpt. Spring Types posted:All of that sounds pretty awesome to me. Me too. I like "proggy" Mars Volta just fine but it was getting kind of tiresome. I'm a total deloused fanboy still, and I view their LPs as such: Deloused (amazingly written prog-opera music) -> all the kind of samey-sounding generic ones -> Octahedron (which I wasn't crazy about but at least it was a new direction kind of). There are songs here and there on the middle albums that I do like quite a bit, but I can't really listen to any of them all the way through like I still can with Deloused even though I've heard it a billion times.

Webbeh posted:http://d.pr/e00v What the gently caress  I refuse to believe this is Mars Volta. Though I'll have to hear the whole song before I really make a judgement call on it. edit: I'm watching this live version of the entire song and...well, I was gonna say I'm torn between digging the hell out of it at times and disliking it at other times, but the more it goes on, I think it's more of the former. This is classic prog-rock mixed with jam band type stuff, and I'm enjoying it immensely. It goes about it in different fashions than most previous TMV stuff, but that's not a bad thing. Just different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBb0n_5LUYw Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Feb 9, 2012 |

The self-titled Omar + John album is awesome what are you talking about. Personally I would much rather Omar release more experimental solo albums and collabs instead of writing TMV ballads if that's what TMV is going to be.

Hopefully now that Omar and Ximena appear to be separated (?), Omar can go back to being Omar and noodle the poo poo out of solo albums. Hell, I would have loved to seen Xenophanes/Old Money/Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus as a TMV album. God I love that Omar + John solo album. And after hearing the Empyrean, I'm pumped for Frusciante's next solo venture. Webbeh fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Feb 9, 2012 |

You guys are talking about ORL + John Frusciante right? I'd like an entire album full of really energetic songs like Cotopaxi and Wax Simulacra. I'd dig the gently caress out of that.

I really like the drum sounds in it. Although its all compressed and stuff for youtube, but you can still hear they have some really nice heavy chunky drums. That part at 1:39ish where Cedric takes that refrain thing up an octave sounds really cool. Kind of like he's channeling some of that ATDI-era angst.

We'll be hearing a studio-version quality of the song either today (via TMV's Twitter) or tomorrow (via Warner Brothers). It'll be interesting to hear how it sounds uncompressed, since the source of this song is a radio broadcast.

That is very cool. It definitely has a classic TMV vibe, while sounding nothing like anything they've done before. I really like it. Must resist the urge to listen to this to death before I hear the album.

Omar isn't taking the creative and directive lead on this album, right? It sounds like that kept this song more focused. Hopefully there aren't going to be long ambient segments or weird kinda pointless stuff. The couple minutes of doodling between songs on Frances the Mute and the long silence between tracks on Octahedron are in the past, hopefully. EDIT: Content!  quote:"The Whip Hand" "Zed and Two Naughts"? So... Z00? The last track is called Z00. yrF fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Feb 13, 2012 |

Ahem: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3430946&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=4#post399668377 Image and all. Booyah.  Thanks for the content! I'm so loving pumped to hear Zed, which will be the next song we'll hear since MLB The Show should get released/leaked soon. Cedric sounds SO GOOD IN THIS TRACK. And I thought he was at his best on Octahedron, but I was wrong. Way wrong. Yeah, Omar's taking a restrained approach to this album and all albums afterwards. Which, by the sounds of it, means that we get to see some variety. But really, I love that ambient poo poo and Omar's noodly goodness. I listened to Amputechture during my run today and forgot how epic the sax/guitar noodle-fest in Day of the Baphomets sounds. So gooood. Also, I'm in the same boat as most of you - the 30 second preview bummed me, but this track reaffirmed my love for all things TMV.
