It just kinda hit me how long it's been since a new album.
Stubby Member
It's been what, 6 years? There was only 7 years between Rated R and EV, and that makes up all but one of their catalogue. Has been a while. TCV kinda made it worth it, though.Originally Posted by Magrão
e: Also, new song owns all the balls and I'm sure Mikey was fat as shit when I met him in 2007 and now he's not. Good lad.

All that ankle twisting action sure makes you lose some good weight. I'm curious about how the new drummer will play the old stuff.

New song...not bad...probably just wishing I could hear it in full production...

Josh looks about a decade younger. Lost quite a bit of weight. Song sounds pretty good. Can't wait to hear it in good quality. This album can't come fast enough.

That song is a grower, but I'm still not digging the overall sound. I would have wished for a little more stoner sound to the guitars, but other than that the guys are in top form!

i have no doubt he'll destroy them (in a good way). Theodore was one of the main reasons the first three Mars Volta records kick so much ass, for me at least — he doesn't do especially wacky crap, but that's part of the appeal. he's got incredible clockwork, works the snare better than all the average powerhouse drummers out there, and has such a great and clean style. i've missed his work in quality rock bands!

I love his drumming in De-Loused in the Comatorium. I'm dying to see more performances of the band with him,QOTSA are by far one of my favorite live bands. They take the live performances to another level and in my opinion, sound better live than the studio stuff. (Duh,I know).

"Overall sound"? It's a webcast video, you dingus, one where the guy doing the live mix clearly had his finger up his ass to boot.

I know that this is probably a long way off to what we will be hearing on the album, but I didn't just listen to the new song so I think you can make assumptions on how it might sound compared to the other tunes we all know. The new song sounds very much in vain of EV songs meaning they come across as high pitched rather than the muddy SFTD sound that I prefer. I'm not a musician nor do I know anything about mixing etc, so I can only rely on my limited vocabulary regarding that subject.

^ I actually can't help but hear a little bit of *everything*... Lullabies, lately. It's interesting...
This is relevant about the new song video: I see Gary Oldman as Zorg (The Fifth Element) when I see Troy up there. lol
I love the verses...the section where he quickly curves a high note to a lower one.
The song is quite good.
Definitely a lot of hope for the album...

I find this song stuck in my head a lot lately. Ill just randomly start humming it or drumming on my legs to it. I've only listened to it 3 times. I can't wait for the album.
also it's nice to hear the drummer be able to keep time. Something that's been missing since Dave stopped performing with them. Joey was cool and all but he was awful live.

^ Really @ Joey's time live? I guess I didn't notice before...
Throbbing Member
He plays everything so sped up and it just sounded bad to me. I know some people like it.
Stubby Member
As a bass player I have to agree, Joey was all over the map, good drummer but very loose player time wise. listening to him drum on songs for the dead live was very tough.
Jon sounds good in these videos, right in the pocket, but his playing is a little stiff. I'm sure after a few more gigs with the boys he'll loosen up.

Josh goes one step further than me in describing Theodore as a fucking monster! As always, "Misfit Love" totally destroys.
Now THIS is what a live mix should be. Troy's guitar gear goes squirrelly at the top of "Go with the Flow" (probably the rain — you can see Josh telling his tech not to worry about wiping down the pedals 'cause "it's too late") but otherwise this is phenomenal. Can't wait for more!

Thanks for that botley. The band is sounding really tight. That's the best they have sounded in a long time. I can't wait to hear some more of this record.
Stubby Member
I was about to say it. The way Josh sings sounds so perfect.

maybe it's the mixing but the drums sound so CLEAN (in the pepsi music argentina video)!! I love it. And the new song is awesome.

Anyone know who did the artwork for this album? reminds me a lot of TCV.... red background + black & white character.
Stubby Member
Damn..Josh had initially approached Trent to produce the album, but he was already working on "the Nine Inch Nails record".
possibly maybe
Boneface is responsible for the cover art.
