I had a buddy introduce me to this band, and there was a solid month where we robotripped did alot of coke and listened to this every night after work. i gotta say, listening to it now kinda gives me uncomfortable flash backs.
I cant help but still like it though, I just tripped and listened to it for a month straight, literally nothing else
omg my friend and i were listening to the vinyl of this. and after side one we both agreed this is pretty much a metal version of Mars Volta. only its Omar's new solo group which is even hip-er
lol I can't believe the amount of people here who seem to be avid TMV fans yet find this hard to listen to? The beat is always so prominent through the entire album except in the actual breakdowns.
Cedric's vocals are aaaamazing I must say. Really, really shows his potential in weaving in and out of blazing fast beats.
@housesofunholy In comparison to the lyrics on this album and the ones on Octahedron, this album kicks Octahedron's ass. Octahedron's okay, but I'd pick this over that any day.

dude i listened to the whole album on youtube and your right it is like a new mars volta album. its pretty good. It has some parts in it that remind me of bedlam.
LOL why does everyone think in terms of 'better' or 'worse' - why can't you just enjoy them all in their offerance.
I like TMV and Omar best because I truly like progressive music; I can't remember any other band that made me step back and go wow! this is simply addictive, unique and in some way more challenging and comforting music than I've ever heard. Omar is a god in the music scene. Period.
@Tubbs2Cool100 It's a sad day when somebody gets a response like that from something that was OBVIOUSLY an IMO statement. Can we judge that sort of thing for ourselves? I think we can. Now, my judgement was based off of what I listen to the most. Because being me, I can state that sort of thing. (an argument can be made for judgement from sales..BUT, that's just not effective for several reasons imoIMOimoIMO)
@octipi yes, i agree with you... he's an egocentric, but he really understands what he's doing. But yes, all the iconoclasty that has been made around him by himself it's kinda lame !
i think he made this album as a way of saying, "people love me so much i can do anything and people will say its the greatest thing ever, lets just quickly make it as fast as possible and sell it. and they will love it." i liked the fastness for the first couple of songs thinking, "wow they are doing some metal style drums cool, different." but every song is a carbon copy. this album is not up in the ranks of mars volta albums. im only being so negative cuz i mean it.
Omar has openly admitted that his solo albums are just practice for Mars Volta records. That's why sometimes you hear sequences of beginnings of songs on his solo stuff that eventually end up in Mars Volta records, it doesn't happen alot, but it's proof that what he said wasn't a lie. So take these things with a grain of salt.
@jamestwix bjork's the shit, my band's doing a cover of "unravel" but turning it into...like an epic prog rock suite i guess....haven't finished arranging it but i hope i do her justice, and i know a lotta people have done that song before too :p
I don't think you should have uploaded this to youtube.
There's 7000 people that could have bought the record but instead watched this or downloaded it through this.
I would have thought anyone who liked Omar would want him to get as much money as possible. After all he said "as soon as I get the money I spend it on the next record."
I watched this and bet your ass theres more than 7000 people that will, not only watch this, but will buy the thing. This is not Britney Spears, Mister Critic, this is real music.
I've listened to this on high quality headphones and the low-quality rip leaves many of the sounds hard to distinguish. This album is obviously bad-ass even with a low sound quality. Just imagine what the digital release will sound like.
it is coming june 23rd, it is going to be very focused on the philosophy of science, it's called octahedron (an eight sided face) as they see it. it will consist of 8 tracks. it's derives from bedlam and omar's recent solo work so it's not the rumored "acoustic" album we're bin hearing about. adrian will not be appearing in it (because his focus on his own solo project) but it will still be VERY interesting. wikepedia it, you can see the track names and everything im too lazy to mention.

nice man, always happy to spread the info, shit it makes me happy myself just talking about it lol. i listen to this band WAYYYY TO MUCH, like my brain is probably bleeding from hearing volta so much
Definatly a sound of At The Drive-In. Maybe a reunition!
