Okay, so I actually didn't mind it that much. And Since We've Been Wrong looks like it might actually be a good song.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Not great, though.

I don't want more of the same, but nevertheless I enjoyed that. It makes a better single than Wax Simulcra.

It sounds a lot better than any track on Bedlam, but I noticed there was an absent of sax/winds from the two tracks from this album i've heard so far.

Nice songs. Can't wait for this album. Got June 23rd plugged in my phone.

Also, oathfbass is right; I heard no sax! Let's hope they still use it frequently in this album.

I also forgot to mention that the drummer has toned down a bit which I think is a good thing.

I liked it it does sound like TBIG but its good. Also I'm glad they didn't decide to go with the doing only acoustic songs that lasted 3 minutes.

Finally got de-loused. Found it for 2 bucks. I'll have to see if it's everything and more.

I really liked this song. I've pretty much enjoyed all of their albums, especially de-loused and bedlam. I think Frances would be my number 1 if it weren't for all of the gaps where no music is played. I don't care if it's "part of the story" and "symbolic of the main character's journey," I don't need to hear four minutes of silence in the middle of a song interjected with tweets and frog noises.

This is from their acoustic album, it just isn't going to be entirely acoustic.

Sounds like a radio edit to me, around the 1:30 mark.
I suspect the album version will be longer.

What kind of alternative rock have you been listening to? Good bands change over time and it's a good thing they haven't tried to replicate De-Loused on each album.

the pridge is like a handjob...excitin and fresh but a lot of times pales in comparison to...theodore, choking le chicken...who always did exactly what you wanted him to and, in the end, you were much more satisfied
but the pridge is young so he has time to get better...

Jon was amazing, but he's right about Pridgent being better for volta. I'm not sure of the exact details as of why he ever left, I just remember him stating in a magazine that it was the best for everyone. Hmm...

i think john just didnt enjoy the direction tmv was going in, plus he has like 10 bands he is in. omar compared john to a girlfriend who doesnt like your friends and doesnt laugh at your jokes. hahah i think he was just over it, and wanted to move on.

I see what you're saying Iluvator. And this song is good, but they really should try some other stuff out. It all sounds very typical Volta to me, with out much development.

Since We've Been Wrong is pretty different really.

No, you're right that song. I meant Cotopaxi. It's just like hykinix said, "Bedlam 2.0"

but yeah i must say the new song does sound good.
atleast omar is learning that this isnt just another solo project, maybe well get lucky and end up with something even moderately close to deloused or frances. This Message Edited On 04.27.09

The middle part = 21st Century Schizoid Man

Does anybody else notice this. This is better then any other MV song I've heard, and yet, I still don't like it.

Well omar said the album wud be like the sequel to bedlam...highlighting the mellow as bedlam highlighted the hectic...

^ Ah I was not aware that was mentioned by him. Makes more sense now I suppose, albeit, you can't say Cotopaxi is at all mellow.

u also can't say Tourniquet Man or Soothsayer are hectic (for lack of a better word i probably should have used)...even when they said it would be an acoustic album it was always in quotes...this will be much more mellow as a whole, but there will be crazyiness like bedlam as well...why i think this will be yummyThis Message Edited On 04.27.09

I was a huge fan of the aggresive stance TBIG took so I'm excited about this. Having loved everything from this band, I'm looking forward to softer acoustic elements too!

Albums for me go...

De-loused > TBIG > Amp/Frances > Tremulant
