Puzzles: Noctourniquet Album Discussion

Puzzles 03.04.12	Oh yes, it is indeed good. Comment away
luschlotz 03.04.12	that news thread was way too long. This is honestly my second mars volta album ( I Heard De-Loused, and didnt liked it at all) But this is awesome
Divine 03.04.12	album slays
SgtPepper 03.04.12	my raitngs: de-loused 5 frances 5 amputechture 4.5 (my favorite) bedlam 4.5 octahedron 3.5 noctourniquet 4 Volta is my favorite band ever.
Uranium 03.04.12	I like but Im not sure how much. I am missing the riffs.
Puzzles 03.04.12	Whoa, Bedlam a 4.5? I'd have that at a 3 lol
SgtPepper 03.04.12	Metatron, Goliath, Calavettas, Askepios... sorry i give that a 4.8, if i could. but i respect your opinion.
NeutralThunder12 03.04.12	bedlam sucks, this rules
NeutralThunder12 03.04.12	dude metatron sucks is u trollin
Puzzles 03.04.12	I wouldn't be the only one to prefer this album mainly because of the lack of effects on Cedric's vocals. He sounds his best ever on this, which is an impressive feat 5 albums into TMV's career. That, and I also prefer the drums on this. I quickly got sick of Thomas Pridgen's style but this new guy has the best groove I've heard in fucking ages
SgtPepper 03.04.12	oh no doubt about it, Puzzles, Parks has really impressed me. Volta has a keen ear for finding good drummers
SgtPepper 03.04.12	Neutral, you dont like Metatron? And i'm not trolling just a guy that liked Bedlam. but hey we all have our opinions, and i respect yours, agree to disagree
Tyrannic 03.04.12	3.5
Scoot 03.04.12	hmm this leaked then
Puzzles 03.04.12	@Paperback Although I can't get into most of Bedlam, I really, really fucking like Soothsayer. That's one hell of a track, the musicality is second to none (insane Eastern key signatures, anyone?)
Puzzles 03.04.12	"hmm this leaked then" No we're just making educated guesses
ComfortablyDumb 03.04.12	Only one listen so far but I loved it. Definitely a better first impression than either of their last two albums.
Scoot 03.04.12	"No we're just making educated guesses" don't be a menace
SgtPepper 03.04.12	@ Puzzle oh yeah, great song. the lyrics were given to Cedric by a ghost... for anyone familiar with the background of Bedlam. I dont know if thats true or not, but Volta is so weird that neither would surprise me.
gabethepiratesquid 03.04.12	Wait who said Bedlam sucks? you suck.
SgtPepper 03.04.12	@ Scoot it has leaked, someone must have uploaded it on youtube by now.
johnnyblaze 03.04.12	i also miss the riffs :(
Uranium 03.04.12	It's definitely better second listen on better speakers.
GreyShadow 03.04.12	where is everyone finding the stream??
johnnyblaze 03.04.12	i need a better quality rip so bad. cant wait til my preorder arrives.
UnnamedOcean 03.04.12	Cedric definitely sounds at his best here.
InFiction 03.04.12	Frances is my favourite, but this is a very promising record. I'd say it's better than both Bedlam and Octahedron but not as good as the rest.
Samizdat 03.04.12	i met a porn star tonight. seriously, i did. he was a fascinating conversationalist. now i [i]get[/i] this album. i fucking [i]get[/i] it.
Puzzles 03.04.12	The Whip Hand just kills!
johnnyblaze 03.04.12	idk i'd say the whip hand and lapochka are the only songs i dont like at this point. and ya, this album fucking rules HARD. i'm surprised by the total lack of filler and/or annoying ambience.
fuckthatnoise 03.04.12	lapochka has grown on me.
DoubtGin 03.04.12	Deloused
ohfoxxxycole 03.04.12	aegis is so good
Cells 03.04.12	um ok
Thane 03.04.12	the whip hand is awesome. some other cool tracks but overall kinda boring. think its a 3 for me.
johnnyblaze 03.04.12	WHEEERE DID I GO WRONG vedamalady rules. i also love the chorus of trinkets and all the classical guitar is awesome - the ballads here destroy octa's. like they're all televators/widow quality ballads. SO GOOD.
Uranium 03.04.12	it's like mixture of Kid A and Beggars
Puzzles 03.05.12	That's not a bad description. The Malkin Jewel actually reminds me a bit of Queens of the Stone Age, in a good way. Noctourniquet is a great song too, and the drumming on that is actually some of the more unique I've heard in a while.
AnotherBrick 03.05.12	SOMEONE GIVE ME THE LINK FOR IT. NOW
Puzzles 03.05.12	Find it yourself
Rowan5215 03.05.12	Empty Vessels fucking rules. That chorus is so Trail of Dead-ish, and that's definitely a compliment.
AnotherBrick 03.05.12	k puzzles i thought we were friends.
ohfoxxxycole 03.05.12	shoutbox brick
Puzzles 03.05.12	Lol kidding man but seriously though it's so easy to find
insomniac15 03.05.12	The album is great but like Bedlam there are too many tracks and in the end I lost my attention. Listening to it another time it was definitely better and it's a grower pretty much like the other TMV albums. Still, I find Bedlam slightly above it so far (and their best) but Noctourniquet is on the second place tied with Frances. Then comes Amputechture and Octahedron and then De-Loused In The Comatorium (I don't know why but I find it the least spectacular TMV record. However, I love Eriatarka and Roulette Dares)
immortalizepain 03.05.12	I personally love De-loused because of its angst. Yet Noctourniquet is awesome in a way it's a moodsetter. Then Frances.
Aids 03.05.12	album is kinda boring and I'm surprised more people don't agree with me. you're all too busy sucking Omar and Cedric's cocks.
jmnewcomer18 08.17.13	At least we aren't Aids
Keyblade 08.17.13	I think it's their best over Frances The Mute, but even then I think I prefer it considering it lacks the pointless ambience and occasional overload of jazz wankery
jmnewcomer18 08.17.13	I kinda agree with you on Frances but thats still my third favorite by them. Cassandra Gemini in my opinion is their masterpiece. The first like 15 minutes of that song fucking slays.
