  • so much better than everything the mars volta has done imo.

  • @bigperson it's called analysis. Omar is particularly bad at reflecting on his own work so it's interesting to do so ourselves.

  • Zach Hill is amazing on this

  • Omfg the shred from 0:07-0:15

  • I just got my copy of this album today, and it is FUCKING AWESOME! The first two tracks are sort of annoying, but from track 3 on it just gets better and better. An excellent example of what Omar can really do with a little musical freedom.

  • I mean focused in that unlike TMV, this album's  song are shorter with out the meanderings that are staple (but by no means bad) diet of TMV albums. I see your point tho'!

  • i FUCKIN love this album and cant wait for the next two ,to get released.. fuckin insane music and it really makes me excited :P

  • whats the guitar part from after that noir bass line?? and the line "girl you aint better than the germs i spread" what songs are those?!?!

  • the girl you aint better or whatever is from half kleptos

    melts my brain everytime <3

  • @sk8rj514

    Warran oats and Half Kleptos

  • great music ...

  • what's the name of the intro song??

  • Noir :)

  • i love this record so much. it grew on me sooo fast :D

  • I am a long standing lover of At The Drive In, Defacto and The Mars Volta. Omar Rodriguez Lopez's solo work is sublime, even it's harshest incarnations. This album though is my most loved. This is a pure funk/jazz/prog mash up. Cedric's singing/phrasing is brilliant. As much as I love MV, I do sometimes wish they would be this focused. Genius from beginning to end. If this isn't his best then my name is Warren Dates!

  • Agree!

  • Cedric threw in some epic vocals on this one

  • i agree but check out xenophanes omar kill's!! in that mother fucker.

  • @ifanbates

    i'm surprised you describe it as focused. i take the whole album as being very off handed, right to the end where Omar thanks the haters, the lovers, etc. That's the kind of thing only a sophomore project would include. The titles and lyrics also display a profound lack of restraint, as well as a loose sense of humor: some of the titles are standard TMV, but others use film quotes, while still others are extremely profane (some misogynistic). I still love the album, though.

  • @Ersatzbee maybe the dude just likes to make music... not everything needs an over the top motive.

  • Paper Cunts!

  • i'd feel really sad if i suddenly started disliking the mars volta, because then i would miss out on these geniouses genious-freckin' MUSIC!!!

  • Only if I could feel the same away about top 40 as the way i feel about TMV. i envy all the simple idiots out there who can turn on the radio whenever and hear something they like.

  • hahaha i totally agree, why did i fell in love with them when i first heard? argh! its difficult getting omar's vinyls, sniff sniff

  • gotta catch 'em all!

  • Half Kleptos, Cryptomnesia, Shake is for 8th Graders, Warren Oates

  • omar's the next zappa.

  • omar's the next omar

  • @peaceandamrit  LOL

  • I've gotta buy this it sounds awesome

  • it's good but not his best. if it's a tossup get old money, apoc inside an orange, se dice no buffalo, calibrations or manual dexterity instead. absense makes the heart grow fungus is a bit sketchy too but everything else is fuckin genious. i only tell you this because his cds aren't cheap so might as well get his best.

  • well thank you, I need to save some money so I appreciate it.

  • This record is so amazing

  • im scared of cedric. i feel like he would completely bite my head off like java the hutt's monster eating that pig

  • its not right to say that the rest of the albums have been garbage. its like if their first album was amputechure you would be like damn this band is fucking awesome they just happened to release two of the best cds ever fucking made as their first 2 albums so everyone quit your whining why dont you guys go write a song thats half as good as anything the mars volta has ever put out. They are just too good for the rest of the world including you douchebags.

  • Love Omar so creative

  • half kleptos

  • whats the name of the song at 0:17 ?

  • "Half Kleptos"

  • ay ay ay FUCK YOU!

  • that's meant to be a reply to jellyface

  • Whats the song at 0:34?

  • Paper Cunts

  • oh man, i just love this collaboration! zach hill from hella? AWESOME!!

  • Is it just me or does it seem like the quality of the mixing of the actual record doesn't sound as good as these trailers do?

  • Yeah I thought this too :/

  • I'm enjoying so much my Cryptomnesia :)

  • I don't think so, I don't think Zach would fit TMV... at least on their current style

  • god damn, that's a sexy typeface

  • What is that bass line at the beginning, like what song is it?

  • The songs order is:

    Noir-Warren Oates-Half Kleptos-Cryptomnesia-Paper Cunts-Shake is for 8th Graders-Ederly Pair Beaten With Hammer-Shake is for 8th Graders-Ederly Pair Beaten With Hammer

  • is this a collage of different songs or is it really that sporadic?

  • It's a collage.

    I've been listening to the CD non-stop since I got it the other day, and it's safe to say that Noir is pretty much the most sporadic song on there, and it's not too sporadic, (much to my disappointment though).

  • Comment removed

  • The band is not basically the mars volta because Zach hill is the drummer, who in my opinion is the best drummer in the world. check out the band "hella" they are awesome

  • Mars Volta had lots of different drummers in the past, and if zach hill is so important why didn't they call it el grupo nuevo de zach hill. Seems kinda egotrippin to call it el grupo de nuevo de omar rodriguez lopez if you have cedric singing anyway

  • because omar writes and produces almost everything...thats why its called el grupo nuevo de omar blah blah insert 3 more middle names, lopez.

  • Now just imagine if The Mars Volta picked up Zach Hill on Drums!!!!!! No disrespect to Thomas of Course ~ But Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck him!!! he destroyed the volta!!! i mean he's a monster on drums but jon theodore will be always my favorite volta drummer!!!

  • thomas didnt destroy TMV...he's doesnt make any choices at all. He does just what jon did- take orders and plays the parts from omar.....your an idiot

  • well for me he did cuz hear the new volta!! i mean i luv them and i know that theres a thing called evolution but c'mon i miss the old jams!! and i dont see why u call me an idiot its only my opinion mate

  • but he cant destory something that he didnt build....Omar gave him the new parts- so critizse Omar- not Thomas. (BUT i would never say a word against Omar - he is more than human)

  • well i guess u have a good point right there!! and btw omar is an awesome and inteligent master mind!!

  • without a doubt- and your not an idiot- any TMV fan is a smart person with good taste in music

  • nah i'm a huge volta fan but i'll have to disagree with you there. i have seen some idiots on youtube talking about the mars volta

  • test

  • n  o

  • my copy came in the mail monday and i've been listening to it no stop. absolutely amazing!

  • runndrumnswim, it's fair to say they made up the word 'Amputechture'. Who cares what the hell Cedric is singing about when it sounds as good as he does. TMV, hands down the best band on the planet. Looking forward to El Grupo Nuevo's 3 new albums, but especially to TMV's Octahedron (have booked the day off work!!!). Long live the Volta!!!

  • finally!!!!

    a omar release i'm ready to get!

  • I love the Mars Volta.

    up to their latest, Bedlam.

    But something in their music has changed. It has definitely gotten a bit more aggressive. Ive even heard power chords in Bedlam...

    All i want to say is yes, i love the mars volta, but i love their music more and more as I listen to their older albums...especially Deloused..

    To be honest.. i would like to hear omar play like he actually knows what hes doing, because i know he knows. and knowing is everything

  • FOLY HUCK I'M EXCITED

  • Listened to the record about 8 times this weekend. Omar has lost his mind. Good.

  • YESSSSS!!!

  • ONE WORD....WOW!....No I take that back I am speechless...I understand NOTHING about music...

  • I love "De-loused in the Comatorium" but even for my ears this sounds a bit to weird...

    i don't know what TMV fans think but I think their older stuff was better

  • some people just can't handle it

  • And as always, Zach Hill purely destroys (the good way) another record....

  • yes, they do, as they should

  • haha i dont think so, you cant proclaim yourself the best guitar player/musician out there and not even have a set group of people who play music with you....he's a joke, doing experimental music for the sake of being different, its old news

  • what ? has he said he's doing experimental music for the sake of being different ?? i dont think so ,so shut the fuck up.

  • haha good one, you "dont think so?" whoa, got me there!!!

  • "holdthepickle77 (22 hours ago)

    haha i dont think so, "

    New lows: flaming someone on YouTube for saying something that you yourself said two comments earlier

  • right but i made a point after i said that where the other perosn made no point to prove my statement as an incorrect one.....bitch!!!!

  • are you kidding a set group of people. Juan is from the mars volta, cedric is from the mars volta. Both those guys have played with his solo stuff, and the volta so just shut it. Obiously they've won, before i sent this message.

  • By "anybody" i'm sure you mean the select few elite nerds and closet homosexuals sitting at home jacking off to their limited edition "It band" cassettes, b/c dude is winning grammies and selling out tours

  • yes they do!!!!

    :o how daree you?

  • @EdgarAllenPodunk No, he's just another wetback

  • @EdgarAllenPodunk

    absofreakinglutely. are you kidding?

  • @EdgarAllenPodunk it keeps getting better and better

  • @EdgarAllenPodunk: I take him seriously, as one of the greatest modern composers I've ever had the pleasures to feast my ears upon.

  • excuse me while i explode.

  • read my mind.

  • zach hill and brian chippendale should collaborate

  • ZACH HILL. HOLY FUCK

  • this is out on vinyl already .... no record player though fuck

  • Fuck yeah!

  • A freaked out Mars Volta.... awesome stuff, give me goosebumps already, just hearing this little bit of greatness,

  • the first time i watched this it actually caused me physical pain. i'm gonna pre order it on vinyl.

  • It's leaked, and it's fucking amazing. If you have a Demonoid account it's there. It'll show up on piratebay and everywhere else soon enough if it isn't up yet.

  • It already killed me!

  • I have it.

    It fucking rocks.

  • sdfhsdfsdkjsd this rocks so hard.

  • This album is gonna fucking kill people.

  • Comment removed

  • ahh yess. i lurve zach hill....this is fucking incredible.

  • he definitely switches from saying..i wont get tourrettes if you wont get tourettes..then he says i wont get tourettes if you dont get to rest.

  • "i wont get tourettes if you dont get tourettes" 0.59. i need a context transplant.

  • "i was go to rest if you wont go to rest"

  • He clearly says I won't get tourettes. Trust me, the lyrics are already out.

  • ok i'll believe that when i get my album and read the lyrics, SO many lyrics are wrong on the internet these days, it wont make sence at all if thats what he said and it dosent even sound like it, sorry

  • This is how it goes

    I won't get tourette's if you don't get tourette's

    I won't get tourette's if you don't get to rest.

    He CLEARLY says ETTES not EST, except the end of the stanza.

  • im hearing it when im looking for it now, if your right this album is more tripped out then i thought it'd be lol, im going deaf to this album :p

  • i thoght it was that too lol but he clearly says" i wont get to rest if you dont get to rest"

  • touress

  • LEAK ALREADY!!!! AARRGGHH!!!!!!! I can't wait anymore and it's too warm to pull a cartman.

  • i prefer pridgens style but this is still going to be awesome, omar has grounded zach well

  • I don't really think Zach needed to be "grounded". Listen to one of his group Bygones. He knows when to dumb down.

  • yeh he didnt need to be. he is amazing i just prefer the "structured groove orientated chaos" with this rather than the other stuff he does which is still great!

  • He's almost like 2 drummers in 1.

  • i feel like im in that south park episode were cartman is waiting for the nintendo wii to come out...C'mon, C'mon!!

  • fuck yes!! this is fuckin awesome music!

  • 00:31 - 00:37 sounds mean!! Great stuff

  • Just loves the part from 00:39 <3

  • 00:23 - 00:31 sounds particularly sweet

  • at the drive-in 2009

  • thats what I thought tooo!!!

  • MIND RAYPE

  • I already got my copy pre ordered :D

  • HOW?!

  • amazon dude! :D

  • Just going by these samples, this is going to be the Mars Volta album I've wanted to hear for years.

    Zach Hill is much better when he is forced to restrain himself a bit.

  • "Just going by these samples, this is going to be the Mars Volta album I've wanted to hear for years."

    Yeah, and the best part is there are going to be two more!

  • its obviously going to sound like volta, because Omar even figures out most drum parts when he writes his songs, he just cant play them- which is why this is going to be insane, because I feel that Zach Hill has a more spastic playing style than Prigden, and his interpretation of what Omar gives him will be intense. Must trip balls when this comes out

  • he already expected you fucks to talka bout it when he decided he was going to curse.

  • I wont get tourettes, if you dont get tourettes!

  • Ohhhhhh yeah...

    Not A Fan of the Curse, that's one thing I thought Made Cedric So unique in the Volta, because he never needed to swear to get his point across....

  • Yes he did

    He cursed a lot when he was in Los Dregtones and ATDI... maybe not so much in ATDI

    "stupid motherfucker" was as far as he went

  • get a life dude.

  • Because I listened to Los Dregtones? I'm sure you have listened to more ATDI than me

    So you stop beign an ass and get a life

  • God this sounds just like volta, but it sounds fucking amazing. Anyone know where to hear these full songs.

  • So funny to hear Cedric curse. It's about time!

  • I don't mean to reffer to the past so unlikely,but I think he did curse in some of the songs back in those At the Drive-In days.Cursing sometimes does put it all together somehow though haha.

  • gahh its totally awkward right now, but i think as long theyre not a fuck ballzzzzz band i think were good right

  • i know!

    he's prob been hangin around zach hill too much lol

  • zach doesn't really swear that much. he's really chill.

  • He swears through his drumming

    in a good way

  • very true

  • I literally shit on myself everytime I comment on YouTube videos.

  • LMAO, reading that made me laugh =)

  • Simplemente Un Dios!!!!

    Falta poco para el lanzamiento... esperemos como buenos feligreses, a esta nueva biblia para nosotros...

    y Una Felicitacion para el creador de ste video...

  • There's a second trailer

  • jesus titty mother fuckin christ... can't wait for this.... far out man....

  • i think i've listened to this clip 20 times already.. can't wait for this to come out.

  • I'm gonna meltxplode. Only in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine Lopez and Hill would collaborate. How the fuck am I supposed to not take drugs when this album comes out, God, I mean seriously. Really, what the fuck. This album is gonna make me take drugs again, fuck

  • Girl you ain't better than the germs I spread now I only gotta fix the fuckin' shape I'm in

  • friggin amazing! I love it!

  • genio totaaaaaaaaaaal. buenisimo, no puedo esperar jajajajajaaja

  • el grupo nuevo!

    que increible no puedo esperar a escuchar uno mas de los nuevos proyectos de omar esto va mas alla de lo progresivo omar manipula la musica a su antojo es realmente increible

  • es la incursion de Omar en el math rock :)

  • Anyone thinks Cedric is going to be on the other 2 albums? Because if I didn't get it wrong, he's just a guest

  • Probably, he did vocal work for 8 of the 11 tracks thats gonna be on this one. Also, the music was recorded in 2006 and Cedric recorded the vocals in 2008. It's likely hes already done vocals for the other 2.

  • I hope because Cedric is really awesome on this record, and I believe he chose the song titles

    Fuck Your Mouth and Elderly Pair Beaten With Hammer... that's something you don't see everyday

  • i look forward to the day the world will change,uhm this album is going to be released.

    thats so awsome.

  • and i know you really wanna tell me what it is you fucking think

  • Why is this so beautiful?? Because the musicians in the band are awesome. I'm pretty excited.

  • sounds good .but the drums sounds terrible. but maybe it will be some kind of sound that will grow on you, just have to wait to find out :P

  • hahahahaha

    are you joking?

    you have any idea who the

    fuck zach hill is!!!!!!!!!!

  • he stinks, hahaha

  • I don't see how this will be much different than a new TMV album, I mean, half the band is in this, and Omar is doing all the writing and Cedric all the singing. It's going to be amazing as usual though.

  • seems rad but cedric's vox irk me a little makes it sound too much like TMV.

    and i dont think zach is going all out, which makes him sound nearly the same as thomas pridgen. im sure the album will rock regardless.
