ATDI getting back together has made my loving year. They've been my favorite band since 7th grade when I first saw them on Farmclub and downloaded every song I could on Napster. I've been dying to see the Mars Volta live and am gonna bust my rear end to see if I can get to California in April! YES!

10AM PST tomorrow tickets go on sale! One of my biggest regrets was never seeing ATDI live and now I get to right that wrong. Excited about the new Mars Volta record too. This is a great year to be a fan of Omar & Cedric.

Is a single ticket really 350 bucks? I don't need a parking pass or shuttle thing, my broke rear end can walk! How much is just a ticket to see the bands? I understand it's a lot of bands so tickets are higher than a normal show.

I know, even if I use my buddy's perks at the airline to get supercheap airfare, the ticket and finding a place to stay will wipe me out. If I could buy the ticket right now, I could probably save up till April but it looks like I'm not gonna make it

Webbeh posted:http://forum.thecomatorium.com/forum/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=14474 Kind of a bummer that there aren't any songs on the album they haven't already been playing through much of last year, but I guess that's what happens when it gets delayed to infinity. Edit: I guess there might be 1 or 2. The delay still sucks.

Same thing kind of happened with Octahedron, except every song was leaked like in pairs every few months up until it's release. I heard like the whole album except for Copernicus and Halo of Nembutals. I've been avoiding everything about this album like the plague until I can actually buy it.

Frances The Mute is a hell of a song. When I first heard it, I was blown away and I couldn't believe that it didn't make it to the album of the same name. I mean, FTM is a loving amazing album right as it is. But still, that is a quality song.

I actually didn't realize it was a song, too. Funny and topical - had been talking with someone about songs that aren't on their own album - Houses of the Holy and Sheer Heart Attack are the two we knew of. Guess that makes three with Frances the Mute!

Shovelbearer posted:"Apollo Kids" by Ghostface Killah I do find it interesting when a band writes a song, enjoys it so much that they use it for the title of the album, then once the album comes together they look back and it's that track that doesn't fit.

ICA posted:This is a question- is the song Frances The Mute on a B-side compilation or something? There are no B-sides compilations (yet) for TMV - there's a bootleg "A Missing Chromosome" that people pass off as legitimate with a story about it being a promo issued to radio stations, but that has been debunked by the actual guy who MADE the collection. He did it for personal enjoyment just to put all the B-sides into one playlist, and used a Google Image Search chromosome picture for the cover - apparently someone downloaded it from him via some file sharing program and it spread, and somewhere along the way the radio promo story was concocted. However the track Frances The Mute has been officially released as track 1 on The Widow CD single. This should be pretty easy to find. edit: Also fitting with the theme of "title track not on the actual album", Colour and the Shape by the Foo Fighters. Good song, but totally unlike anything I'd heard from them up until White Limo on their most recent album. Neo_Reloaded fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jan 17, 2012 |

I saw The Mars Volta in NYC soon after Frances came out. There was no opener, they played for something like 3 hours and covered all the songs from Frances, most (if not all) of Deloused, and a song or two from the Tremulant EP. My tastes have drifted away from psychoprogfreakout since then, but it stands out as one of the most impressive performances I've seen. They transitioned smoothly between songs using filler material or new jams. There were only a few outright breaks between songs - although there was a 15-20 minute space-out period so Jon Theodore could take a quick nap on his drumset.

Wish there was some surrealist mojo going on like the typical Sonny Kay cover, but I can't complain. It's also nice to see that we haven't heard half of the songs from the ORLG tour late last year. If I recall, tracks 4, 6, 8, 11, (2 ?) and 13 are new. Please please have the Broken English jam on this. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/17/idUS178872+17-Jan-2012+MW20120117 quote:While Noctourniquet was, in typical Mars Volta fashion, written by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and produced by Rodriguez-Lopez, the 13-track album explores musical territories previously uncharted in the duo's 20 or so years of creating music together. The spectrum of musical and emotional textures conceived and created by Rodriguez-Lopez ranges from the opening bombast of "The Whip Hand" to the menacing crawl of "The Malkin Jewel" punctuated throughout by hypnotic melodies and borderline electro-ambient washes, most notably in the epic "In Absentia." The bold diversity of the new material combined with Rodriguez-Lopez's most confident and refined performances to date make Noctourniquet an early contender for this year's most challenging and rewarding listen. And finally, from Rolling Stone: quote:Prog rockers the Mars Volta have announced their sixth album, Noctourniquet, will hit stores on March 27th. The album, the band's first set of new songs since Octahedron was released in 2009, will tell the story of a character inspired by the Superman villain Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus. As with previous Mars Volta records, the music was composed by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, who also produced the set.

Very excited about the album but not liking the album cover at all. Would have much preferred some Jeff Jordan or Sonny Kay, but that's just me. From what I've heard of the songs they've played live, I think this may be one of my favourite TMV albums. Deantoni Parks is an amazing drummer. Also hoping for some 10+ minute songs I didn't know this was going to be a concept album. Any speculation on what it will be about (knowing that it will be based on Solomon Grundy and Hyacinthus)?

I had heard something from Cedric's YouTube account that he was crafting a story to go along with the album, but it'll be interesting to see if that surfaces.

silverhawk79 posted:ATDI reuniting? Definitely this. I haven't really had an inkling towards any of TMV's albums after Francis. I'd rank both Francis and De-Loused as tied in my top 5 albums of all time, but I can never really get into any of the other albums outside a few songs here or there ("Ouroboros" comes to mind when I think of random songs I love by TMV). What is odd, however, is that while my liking of later TMV albums diminished, I find that my love of Omar-Rodriguez Lopez grows. I'm really excited to hear what AtDI will offer in the form of new work, as well as hearing more of "Noctourniquet". I have been listening to what I've heard referred to as "Post Hardcore Revival" bands (La Dispute, Touche Amore, Envy), but I have always felt I missed out on what was it's pinnacle during the days of AtDI. On another note, I always had a huge love for Sparta's first two albums as well. Sure, they weren't genre defining, but I really feel that Sparta's "Porcelain" was highly underrated and over-shadowed by TMV. Sure, it's not along the same style, but I from the opening song of Porcelain ("Guns of Memorial Park" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50kQW87T9kM&feature=related), you can definitely hear the influence of AtDI throughout the entire album. Edit: Not to mention "Assemble the Empire" is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmOi3LSwIOU. Also, if you haven't researched it or didn't know, Jim Ward even moved onto doing some americana-esque stuff in the form of Sleepcar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srkk18XFsmY, and some of his solo work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvpdnBPZEqw&feature=related I'm really excited to see how the experiences of each of the members of AtDI will have an influence on anything they produce here on out.
