  • i'd go gay for these dudes. twice.

  • Yes! Fucking yes!

  • I was a super duper huge, totally committed, faithful, unyielding and unstoppable fan of MtB before their music was electronic-laden. It's too bad, it's just too bad...I really thought Dave was a super guitarist! Now they've buried his talent, layered it under lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das and crap flappers. SAD.

  • as always for years they never seem to come close to dissapoint!!!!!

  • WHY ISN'T THIS IN OMNI

  • how did this not make the cut for omni!?!?! this is so amazing, one of my favorite MTB songs

  • Cant wait to see them in a couple months! Huge influence for my band (Viridian Coast). Check us out on facebook and reverbnation if u dig MTB!

  • Oh hell yes!!!! Got to love the power and swagger in that chorus. I imagine it being played atop the marble pillars at the entrance to my destiny.

  • i love MTB's heavier songs

  • @pinpoint45 like wut songs

    

  • @UmSawyer like loutus, and secret country.

  • Is it me or does it seem like the picture is coming closer ? 

  • @GrMsTaR37 Yes, it does. It isn't. This isn't a pattern I've seen before in optical illusions...

  • i pretty much love everything these guys do.. planet of ice was my favorite piece of work from them and the whole b side from omni is amazing as well as their other projects

  • Jesus, if this is what they sound like WITHOUT the bear...

  • @SirBenjamin88

    Hm? Do elaborate won't you?

  • The beginning sounds like a fucking psychotic version of Hey Wanna Throw Up.

    Nonetheless, its so damn lovable.

  • Where can I get this song? It shows up on Amazon but you cant buy it and its not on iTunes.

  • I love how you never see trolling on mtb videos.  one of the many reasons why these guys are the shiit

  • @stonerguy420PSN thats true ive never seen a negative comment on a mtb vid.

  • @stonerguy420PSN fuck you i troll wherever the hell i want

  • @indalcecio cool story bro.  you should tell it at parties

  • I get to meet them tomorrow :D I'm stoked, to say the least ;)

  • @CowsLoveMusic

    you're seeing them at the electric factory? right on, so am i

  • @Simplename888 I did, it was a party. I had center barrier, hopefully I get into the video/DVD :D

  • not bad, but I still miss the pirate days :(

  • ive never have been so obsessed with a band like mtb, ive been listening to them for 4 years, and they never get old, i loved every album they have made, omni was just a little strange, im not hating its still good, just doesnt really sound this the good ole minus the bear....but still good as fuck.

  • OMG THIS IS THE SONG I HEARD THEM PLAY LIVE IN NOV 2008!! They said it would be on there next record, so I was excited that it would be awesome! WTF Why didn't it make it onto OMNI? Because it didn't fit with the weak junk that fills most of the album? I will concede that this version doesn't have the same energy as the live performance, partly because you can't see the lead guitarist tapping and rocking out.

  • @andthenudie i agree omni is different but i love it-

  • this song made me orgasm!!!!

  • Why wasn't this on OMNI?

  • @VaLdEzE1 idk but i was pissed cause i cant find it on itunes =[

  • YAR!

  • I just found this band recently. I like, I like a lot:)

  • this song makes me want to eat taquitos!

  • IMO this should have made it to the album. It's better than 70% of what made it to the album.

  • Comment removed

  • This not being on the album makes me very sad....

  • I thoroughly enjoy watching Minus the Bear progress as a band. Yes, I know it's not the same style as Menos el Oso or Planet of Ice, but that's to be expected. People change and so does their music. It's expected that they put out different styles of music each album, but what's unique about Minus the Bear is that they can keep putting out new stuff which continues to awe my ears. That's the difference between most pop bullshit and them.

  • I always love their b-sides. Nice change to omni as an album on the whole.

  • what the fuck? which album is this even on?? am i high or does my version of omni not have this track on it?

  • @countingmoons It's not supposed to be on there. this is a b-side.

  • Huge Minus fan, hence the username, but they really went in a different direction with Omni, and while I can still appreciate it artistically, I can't honestly say it stacks up to their previous albums. My Time is really the only song that really grabbed me. On their other albums, it was every song. Disappoinred, but still have mad respect and hope for an even better album in the future.

  • @JakeSnider123 I agree this just isn't as good for many many reasons. But OMNI has grown on me, but it still feels like they took a step back. I hope their next album proves that they have not reached their best cool music.

  • OMNI is very different from Menos El Oso (My favorite album btw mtb)

    But, I respect them for expanding their style. They'll never not be amazing.

  • You cannot talk shit about OMNI unless you've heard the entire album, there are a couple electricy songs that i do not care for, but there are sooooo many great tracks on that album....listen to Hold Me Down, Secret Country...the cd is filled with good tracks, and this song is just amazing. No matter what you say, minus the bear has not lost talent at all. Cant wait to see them in Dallas this weekend :D

  • best song ever

  • this and Into the Mirror are the only songs on Omni that I like... and this just a b-side. :\

  • @sipasabayag you're an idiot. omni is brilliant.

  • @yosenwhuttup hey, no need to get hostile, man. everyone has different tastes. I really, really like Minus the Bear, but I prefer their Highly Refined Pirates/Menos el Oso-era work, personally. the new electronica-type stuff is good, but it's not my cup of tea. RELAX!

  • @sipasabayag YES

  • I have to agree, their old music is a lot more memorable. I feel like there is way too much instrumental going on while I'm listening to this.

  • why is this song not on the new album!? its so gooood!!!

  • Okay, I almost always disagree with Pitchfork, and I always love Minus the Bear. So...why the fuck do I hate this album? It's so...bad. :(

  • @darkshines0 you are fucking nuts!! long time mtb listener and this is their best album yet. how many times have you listened to Omni...?

  • LINUS the SQUARE is more like it. The lyrics suck, the singer is a tone deaf Bono and the guitar is actually really cool. too bad for that dude.

  • @redshaftedflicker lol your so far from the truth its funny. id really like to see if you have even half the skill these guys do

  • MAKES ME WANT TO TRIP ACID RIGHT NOW

  • @DontBeAClown COOL STORY

  • This song is amazing. I was and always have been a Minus the Bear fan since I first saw them in SLC at a Thursday concert. I was blown away, and still am to this day.

  • My time kicks i off at # 1 while the known into the mirror at # 7. For Example animal backwards #8 could be in a club...Without P.O.S. its the same beat as into the mirror but Tweaked out Backwards and new lyrics. My favs are Excuses #5 and Fooled by the Night as the closer....for old-school fans who were let down by planet...be prepared to be brought back...PS this is not on the CD! but all 10 on it beat this...so its all good go minus

  • i love reading the comments to know there are so many other people out there listening to minus the bear!

    theyre my favorite and i dont share that interest with anyone i know!!

    cant wait to hear this album :)

  • OMNI comes out May 4th 2010

  • I'm a huge MTB fan. I would say this song is mediocre for them. But who knows, it may grow on me...

  • crack

  • this is what I know about being gigantic / planet of ice

    are my two favorites, their old stuff I like more still, but it could be just cause

    I know every song off by heart and I've listened to it more.

    at first listen with their new material I didn't really like it..

    but it's actually really catchy and I can't wait to have the CD quality to

    blast in my car.

  • Awesome song!!

  • yup already got it on pre order my friend Love this band they're pretty f'n talented

  • Wonder if Omni came from the omnichord they use in my time

  • He uses an omnichord live....

  • that solo was rad, looking forward to this album, itll take a few listens to really get into it. but i honestly think this is going to be a great album.

  • I find this band takes a while to get shit out. But its always pretty ace. My favourite album remains Highly Refined Pirates

  • IF you guys havent heard the newest song go to Minus the bears website. Its got crazy synth shit it in but its pretty damn good as well. Much different style than this song. They really are unique.

  • october of last fucking year and i find out they released some stuff finally. godamit i need more friends

  • they play it faster live

  • you've got no sense of groove son.

  • Not really a fan of the new stuff.

  • fucking sweet!

  • into the mirror is going to be the fucking shit!!!

  • When is this album due to release?

  • the album is called Omni, due May 4th

  • I just saw them live. Them with Maps and Atlases. I could die tomorrow, and be happy just from seeing them. Mind blowing.

  • dude same

  • the intro of the song... sounded like Dave was bringing back some Botch into his guitar playing. good of him to bring back his tapping, too. their next album will be so hype.

  • he never stopped tapping it just wasn't as predominant in planet of ice

  • Snazzy, I'm really liking how their new album is shaping up. Can't bloody wait!

  • amazingly original band

  • i can play this song!

  • @ohwello prove it!!

  • ok you got me, i can play everything except the parts like the beginning when he uses that crazy effect. if i make a video covering it ill be disappointing everyone because i cant produce that same sound. i shouldnt have said anything.

  • haha, i was hoping to see your rendition. You should put it up anyway, as like a tribute or something, that'd be sweet!!

  • Order a pitch pirate from Mid-Fi Electronics and give it a shot. :D

  • bet, as soon as i get ahold of a pitch pirate i'm covering it. :) btw wikipedia says this album is called Omni and will be out on May 4th

  • @ohwello dude at the beginning he's using his DL4 and all he's doing is strumming a cord with the volume down then turning it up so you barely hear it and then turning down the delay time slightly lol........ at least thats what i figure lol

  • MTB is the only band where I can listen to every album without having to skip a single song. their next album is going to be amazing. when is it coming out. I know 2010, but more specifically please?..

  • I heard Feb. 2010.

  • really??

  • @jayhawks25 may 4th :)

  • @jayhawks25 4th may my friend :)

  • it came out today!

  • @jayhawks25 same thing with me. they are so great!

  • This is probably my new favorite mtb song

  • when this album comes out it would have been 3 years since planet of ice. i gotta say, it will be totally worth the wait. judging from this song and into the mirror. im liking their new sound a lot.

  • hell yes

  • Can't wait for the release of the new album.

  • Wow! This weird rift in the beginning scared me a little, but after that this song is a masterpiece.

  • personally i think anything that minus the bear creates turns into gold for the ears. i don't think they have ever produced any bad music, i mean come on they made a pretty gnarly song just using the iPhone, how much more boss does it get then that? there only getting better, i cant wait for the new album to come out.

  • @joemomma0608 what song did they make with the iphone?

  • Chick Rapped with Bacon I think is the title

  • @stivender03

    thank you!

  • their best stuff to me is probably the first half of Highly Refined Pirates, but I've liked each successive album more than the last. they get consistently better; my favorite band.

  • @jimmymagnum6 that actually makes no sense.

  • i disagree sir. planet of ice, the entire album, is their best work yet by far. now hearing this song and into the mirror gives me hope for the new cd

  • Planet of Ice is definately their best album by far.

  • No way. MENOS EL OSO!!!!

  • @chdavidson1 all their stuff is gold but it is hard to top that album

  • Agreed. In fact my friend, I know no one will agree, but I was so amazed at how fresh and original PoI was, it completely took me off guard. Its like a modern Dark Side of the Moon, I'd have to say its one of the best albums I've ever heard from end to end, ever.

  • Im in your boat, I thought Planet of Ice was an amazing album, ever song on it moving, and captivating.

  • their old stuff pwns the new stuff for sure but new stuff still sounds good

  • I like it and into the mirror more than lots of Planet of Ice... i really enjoy their early stuff actually. Lets play clowns, dog park... classics.

  • uhh, i did. check my videos

  • All time favorite song has gotta be be the fix.

  • Comment removed

  • my life has been complete 4 times. you're jealous.

  • yeeeeeeeea thas wat im talkingbout prefer this to into the mirror

  • saw them in florida, orlando club firestone. they are the cure for cancer

  • Indeed so. Got the vid for Broken China for that show.

    Amazing show.

  • This > porn.

    Fact.

  • agreed

  • Agreed

  • hahahahaha

    that's kind of an insult though if you look at it more in depth... =\

    pr0n is at the very bottom of the totempole, what's that say about them?

    unless you're just taking into consideration that regardless where they are and how many between the 2, they are better, in that context.

    that's a mouthful

    i digress

    i'll just agree...

  • seeing them live did, infact, complete my life

  • indeed, ive seen them and MY life in complete

  • Purely amazing music MTB they`re the best. Dave Knudson is my hero and his genius guitar playing blows my mind. And indie isn`t a genre of music, it`s a type of label. I do agree that this song sounds less math rock (it`s all in 4 I believe), less progressive and less spacey. But into the mirror makes up for it in bounds. I can`t wait for this album and to see them again!!!

  • ♥

  • excellent

  • LOVE THEM!!!! can't believe i missed them in fresno when they did a small show perf!!! gah!!!! what was i thinking!!!!

    miss them to death! cant wait!!!

  • This song is sick...in the best way possible

  • But Minus the Bear is the classic rock of the future!

    Not to mention "indy" means that you're on an independent label (or none at all), not necessarily what you sound like....

  • I need this album STAT. This is so damn good. And it's really fairly simple. That's why they win forever.

  • i dont know i think i may like into the mirror more but who knows it may grow on me. minus the bear is so great that i never have a favorite song for long

  • Fucking......BEASTLY.

    God I cant wait for the full album.

  • minus the bear = pure talent

  • i didnt know about this song until tonight. its good though. im going to see MTB in ft worth friday the 6th

  • Can't wait for the new LP. When in 2010 does it come? Is the title known? A 2 track EP wont hold me off for long ha.

  • Booyah achieved

  • Comment removed

  • i saw them play this song in chicago a year ago and i loved it. but this version's a little too slow, i think the tempo they used for the live version is much better

  • Comment removed

  • broken china > into the mirror. hope to see more like this on the album!

  • Everyone needs to quit being such pussied about into the mirror... I'm a long time MTB fan, and if you're assuming into the mirror is "poppy" or just some attempt to grab new fans, you're (I hope) going to be wrong. Broken China and Into the Mirror is a good contrast of the two styles they've come to develope, and Into the Mirror is just a play on their smoother side, such as "I'm Totally Not down with rob's alien," my favorite MTB song. I can't see MTB selling out, so we sohoudln't be worried

  • You guys think Into the Mirror is poppy? Does anyone here remember Knights? That was one of their best songs on their last album which was stellar.

  • i don't think minus the bear is one of those bands trying to 'pull in new fans'. especially after 4 studio albums and 4 EPs, which are good enough for me to consider actual albums. they've established their fan base. now they're just doing what they do best: improving on the sound that we have all grown to love. they're incredible.

  • Into the Mirror might have a pop sound, but is anyone paying attention to the lyrics? It's about doing blow in a bathroom! :o)

  • why is everyone hatin on Into the Mirror, I've like MTB since the beginning and I think its a great song. Poppier yes, but MTB are a pop band, and not in the way that most people think of that word....in a good way. Oh and yeah this song kicks ass too...

  • One of the reasons I respect MTB so much is because of how their music continually progresses in such a positive direction with all the new material they release, as exemplified in this song and Into the Mirror

  • wooo *whipes sweaty forhead* this sounds more like MTB. i was a little worried that Into the Mirror was going to be the average of the album. Sounds a little different from earlier music, but im rockin it none the less. GET THE ALBUM OUT NOW!!!

  • this really sounds like MTB

  • I honestly can't wait for this album, this song sounds so fricken sick.

  • Now this sounds more like the MTB we all love! unlike Into the mirror which sounds bubblegumish crap

  • !!!*gasp*!!!

  • Bands tend to deliver predigested music as long as it gains popularity. Few bands tend to mantain complexity in composition, and fewer tend to actually evolve into it's own style, and keep using the same style over and over again. I hope into the mirrors is just a mere mistake rather than an actual direction towards a POP or light version of it's former self. This song is Actually very good, so I think the album will be pretty good.

  • mtb is amazing.

  • /understatement of the century.

  • Fuck yeah! I remember them playing this at Bimbo's last year and anticipating for when they'd release the studio version.

  • I like this song much better than Into the Mirror, I think this has more innovation and direction.

  • this album will be unreal.

  • more progresssssssive! ommmmmmmg! i love minus the bearr!
