I thought that Sparta had broken up, so that's news to me! http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/100987?utm_source=MEL&utm_medium=6333 Here's hoping there's a gigantic tour with everyone called THE MARSPARTATDRIVEIN TOUR.

So, The Comatorium (the official TMV message board) got word from a MLB forum that sample copies of MLB The Show 12 (which include the song Zed & The Two Naughts) was at select Best Buys. Users across the forum called their local Best Buys to see if the game was demoed. One user, Shareeb, got confirmation of his Best Buy, drove over to the store, and recorded the song on his phone. Then, he got home and had to go to work, giving The Comatorium an eight-hour wait until he finally released the song above. The song sounds a lot more like TMV, although obviously its poo poo quality (on par with the FTM leak for those who remember that) makes it hard to listen to the song in detail. However, this should dissuade some people who were worried guitar work was minimalist on the album.

Is it really that hard to comprehend that, when you feel like you've made tremendous progress as a musician and artist, you'd rather have people like your current work than the work you created when you were an inferior artist? I mean, think what you want about TMV's current music, but there's not really any need or justification for casting aspersions on Omar for the things he says. He's a pretty reasonable guy

TheQat posted:Is it really that hard to comprehend that, when you feel like you've made tremendous progress as a musician and artist, you'd rather have people like your current work than the work you created when you were an inferior artist? No, but it's insane if he regards his work with ATDI as being inferior. I like some of his solo stuff, but he's digressed stylistically and TMV peaked with De-Loused in my opinion. De-Loused was amazing, and was definitely huge musical progress, but everything since then not so much. I think he's just too proud and probably too arrogant to admit that ATDI might have simply been better artistically than a lot of what he's done in the last 8-9 years.

Maybe he honestly feels that it isn't? Personally I like Omar's solo work a lot better than any ATDI album, I don't think it's hard to believe Omar feels the same way since he's the one making the music. Whether one sound is "artistically better" than the other is entirely subjective and I don't see how there's anything wrong with Omar making the same subjective judgements about his own work that everyone else does.

Yes it's perfectly normal, but I think good artists recognize when they're going off the deep end in their pursuit of improvement. Omar I think often mistakes rampant experimentation for actual progress and doesn't know when to edit himself. Earwicker posted:Whether one sound is "artistically better" than the other is entirely subjective and I don't see how there's anything wrong with Omar making the same subjective judgements about his own work that everyone else does. Sure music is art, and art is subjective. But I think it's a mistake and kind of egotistical when artists, especially musicians completely disregard patterns in subjective opinion. I think when you're a band, it's valuable to look at what was well received and determine why it was well received, and use that to inform your subsequent writing. Omar seems to just have this "gently caress all y'all, I'm gonna do anything I want" approach, which may or may not work depending on who you are. For him, I think it often results in lazy-sounding crap. He's completely infatuated with the idea of artistic integrity to the point that he thinks everything he does is better than what he did before, which if you ask me is never the case with any artist.

This sounds like something from De-Loused with different (awesome) drumming.

I didn't like The Malkin Jewel at first but now I can't stop listening to it. This, however, I liked instantly. Cedric sounds great and Parks is amazing. And watching their live videos has led me to believe that the band (as performers) is currently at its best. This video for example. Jesus Christ.

LET THE BROMAR SIGNAL SHINE. It's interesting to see how wildly different some of these tracks are from the live versions. I'm in a couple of songs in, so I can't say how I feel about it so far.

I'm at work and can't listen to it but one of my friends has it and she's posting about it on Facebook and it keeps coming up on my...well, not my news feed, but whatever that feed is on the right hand side of the screen above the chat section. It's driving me loving crazy. I need to get off work so I can hear this thing  WASDF posted:I assumed it leaked? I must ignore it. Octahedron was really unexciting due to the leaks. Won't let this be another Octahedron. I never listened to a leak of Octahedron and I was still mostly unimpressed by it the first time I heard it. It's grown on me a little, but it's still my least favorite Volta album by far.

What the hell happened to Whip Hands? The live version is pure evil in a good way; this not so much. I'll forgive them for Empty Vessels; it's gorgeous. Doesn't sound like Omar's style but I guess that's what makes me keep coming back. 30 plus albums all different styles & feels.

Having just finished listening to the whole thing, all I can say for sure is the production is awesome (that snare sound is just spine-crushingly good), but also that I really miss Ikey Not feeling it as much as the first time I heard De-Loused, but that's kind of a tall order. I do like it more than Octahedron already though.

First listen, sounds a lot like Octahedron. I happened to love Octahedron, and while this is good, it hasn't really sunk in yet. Absolutely nothing has truly stood out to me besides 'In Absentia' which I think is a remarkable track.

It's gonna take a few more listens to really let it sink in, but I think it's really good. Sounds nothing like anything they've done before, which is sometimes a bit jarring, but you know, first listen.
