Dunno if I should be excited or ready for another disappointment.

most likely another disappointment.

Yeah I heard the last album was kind of a let down onl heard 2 songs off it I saw about this on wikipedia last night and was like wow these guys are machines, this will make 4 albums in 5 years

amputechture was good but a bit disappointing compared to frances the mute. im still excited for their new album

I really hope this is better than Amputecture. After putting out an album like Frances the Mute, releasing stuff of that quality won't do it.

This will probably be better than Amputechture, if the live versions of Rapid-Fire Tollbooth and Idle Tooth are any indications. Not to mention, their new drummer is sick.

I haven't heard him yet, is he better than Jon Theodore?

From what I've heard of him live playing with them, he's at least equal, maybe a little better. He is hella powerful though.

im looking forward to hearing the new drummer. theodore are big shoes to fill but im sure the new guy is gonna kick ass tooThis Message Edited On 06.16.07

what pulse said.

These guys are prolific, seems they release albums every year.

TMV is the musical equivalent to driving around in circles at a slow speed.

This'll probably suck, but hopefully it has another cool song like "Day of the Baphomets".

Theodore was a pussy.

I'm excited, yet afraid.

I really don't understand.. no matter what band it is.. or what album.. everyone on this site always hates everything. I'd like to see someone actually say..


"Hey.. I'm pumped about this.. can't wait."

Hey.. I'm pumped about this.. can't wait





for it to suck

Hey...I'll be pumped once Charles Mingus and Miles Davis come back from the dead and make an album together under the name "Zombies...But Still Cool!"

Anyways, I don't much like The Mars Volta; they're overrated in my opinion.

/keyword opinion

If they follow the trend they're on, this album will be the worst. Progressively more worse by album I say.

Except Frances was their best so you lose.

[quote=Intransit]Except Frances was their best so you lose.[/quote]

rofl no Deloused is miles above Frances. Frances is too contrived and wannabe artsy. Fantastic album though

Let me take a stab at what the song titles might be... Perhaps...

"Phalic Paplomacy",
"Dex Trajectora My Maelstrom",
"Barricadence",
"Obelisk Unonymous"
"In The Sting Of The Canasta Board, Her Mandate Was But A Brief Constablization Upon The Speakshift Origin Pt VII: Tjatsu Lives In The Kingdom Of Rapid Eye Mutations..."

...etcThis Message Edited On 06.17.07

Yeah like they'd use that many vowels.

These guys are prolific, seems they release albums every year.

I'm one of the few that loved Amputechture, so I'm psyched for this.

Amputechture was tripe, whoever said the new album needs less Omar and more Cedric was right right right.

I am ready for this, but i hope they spend as much time making it revolutionary like Frances the Mute was. With the drummer i really hope he does better than the one on Amputechture.
*fingers crossed* Please don't dissapoint! *knocks on wood*

Omar is getting more pretentious, he has to sit back more and give people space to make their own stand in the music, thats what he did on Frances and Deloused and they are amazing. He also has to use more than just horns (hint: VIOLINS and PERCUSSIONS!)

They just need less omar and more cedric

I really look forward to this; hard to find these creative, experimental yet solid bands out there. Plus I love their work

Frances is my favorite, De-Loused is second, but Amputechture wasn't bad at all the intro track Vicarious Atonement was kick-ass as was Day Of The Baphoments. But I have respect for every band that is able to work as hard as the Mars Volta they tour but there still able to release albums steadily for their fan base it brings to mind the glory days of the Stones and The Beatles who would crank out classics every six months.

I am ecstatic, because The Mars Volta are my favorite band. I wonder if Flea or John Frusciante are doing any more work with this album, like they have with past albums.This Message Edited On 06.17.07

aamputechture was suuuuch a dissapointment. the only decent song on it is vermicide IMO, but even that is ruined by a shitty guitar solo courtesy of om3r

Please tell John Frusciante to fuck off. His playing on Amputechture sucked.

"In The Sting Of The Canasta Board, Her Mandate Was But A Brief Constablization Upon The Speakshift Origin Pt VII: Tjatsu Lives In The Kingdom Of Rapid Eye Mutations..."

If you think Mars Volta is spitting out albums, consider John Frusciante that has recorded, mixed, and produced over 8 albums since 2004, and released 6 albums during 6 months.

Oh, and it's all great music according to me.

Hopefully this will turn out good, but I'm not expecting much.

Hopefully this will be more like De-loused. I hated Frances and didnt even bother listening to Amputechture but i actually kinda like De-loused.

the mars volta are amazin, i thought ampytechture was good, just not as good as the others..


i recon this will be well good.

new protest album in fall new btbam album in fall and new mars volta this will be an amazing year.

Yeah, Amputechture is a good album. Maybe got too influenced by ATDI for people to understand it fully? I don't know, just trying to figure out why it sounds like Mars Volta, but there is a subtle change to the sound that makes to whole album different.

That's because everyone on this site is ready to jump on the bandwagon. Anytime any album picks up momentum and people are liking it (as long as the band is not too popular), everyone lauds it and gives it 5s and talks about how great it is. If one prominent member says an album sucks, it starts trickling down the ranks until everyone hates it.

Amputechtre was their best yet. Let's hear Next.
