I guess this thread was also swallowed by the black hole (caused by your onanism) we encountered few months ago.
So please, when you masturbate, think about all the black holes. Please. Think. Put the dick away!




Anyway;
I have been listening to Octahedron a lot lately. If at release I thought this album was quite meh, now it seems a complete masterpiece to me. I love it how this album required some time to grow on me.


p.s.: "In an article posted online, it was reported that the band would introduce new material during a live show on Friday, January 15, 2010.'
so maybe maybe we will get a new album soon.

[E-Money]

The new album just doesn't do it for me...

[mr.sinister]

I thought the new album was fantastic. Very spacey lush sounds.

Another new album? Wow.

[DefGuy]

de-loused is tha shit




period.

Now in my perception the ratings of TMV albums are:

Amputechture - 7/10
Bedlam in the Goliath - 7/10
De-Loused in the Comatorium - 9,5/10
Frances the Mute - 10/10
Tremulant EP - 8/10
Octahedron - 8/10

I'm not sure how I got to this point that Tremulant EP seems better than Amputechture and Bedlam (which I used to like a lot, but now cannot find time to dig in again)

De-Loused in the Comatorium - 10/10
The Bedlam in Goliath - 9.5/10
Frances the Mute - 8/10
Amputechture - 7.5/10
Octahedron - 6/10

The Bedlam in Goliath is such an underrated album.

[mr.sinister]

I love Bedlam. Octahedron is good, where is the luv at?

idk maybe it's just me, but i prefer ATDI over mars volta.

I decided not to ever compare them. I mean, to me it's all different sound, genre and music; so I would not really say I prefer one band to the other.

[No More Sugar]

yeah i get what your saying, and i do agree with that. what i meant was i like the atdi sound better than the direction they went after they broke up. i mean to me it just seemed like they were having more fun. their live performance will always be badass though no matter what kind of music they're doing.

well, in my eyes:
ATDI = pure emotion, live performances, jumping, screaming, etc
TMV = arrhythmia, math, chaos, psychedelia

that i can also agree with and since they represent different things (not only in your eyes, but theirs as well) the two shouldn't really be compared closely

I'd heard about this project before and I was like "lol". But actually seeing that preview it doesn't seem that bad. I'd watch it.

[theis]

Do you know any further details about this? Sounds ugly.

[raynor]

prolly fake though. there are alot of fake-thomases over at the coma.

edit: actually, probably isn't. still thomas is the biggest baby ever though.

Thomas punches women in the throat.  Cedric hates Thomas.  Omar doesn't care.  Cedric's wife is immature.

that's really about it.

[theis]

Haha, damn.

[ben]

Yea it's really just  a bunch of stupid shit.

Anyway, lately TMV has been playing a lot of De-loused and Frances live, which is cool.  They say that TMV is taking a break this year....maybe an ATDI reunion?  Probably not =(
