At The Drive-In - Hourglass

[teganyavo]

i like mars volta way more than sparta but this is my all time favorite atdi song. totally gorgeous

[5teampunker]

Was so obsessed with this song for about 2 weeks, same as all of their songs

[MrJumentous]

wow i didnt know it was Jim. Im glad i found out here. befor i look like a dumbass in front of my friends.lol.

[samboyaus]

i know it's jim, but if i didn't know that it wouldn't be that hard to believe its cedric, it does sound a little bit like him in his atdi days.

both of their voices sound so different now.

[kes1n]

@samboyaus its jim

[deezshrizable]

best drive in song

[Oneupsalesman]

I remember hearing this on an internet college radio weekly Sci-Fi radio show uploaded to the internet called the Deuce Project...I didn't even know it was ATDI at the time.

[sh0utoutloud]

fuckin awesome

[92Scaff]

sucks me in, taking a ride

and i'm wishing for the satellite

grabbing vein pulling down on the radio

laughing at the face that's bending down

[FuckedInKansas]

Check out "Cho Plateau" by P-Town Rap Squad if you want to see a badass music video.

[gervbixler3000]

I'hope actually there's no exist other band like this never again...o como se diga....atdi son lo mejor ke a existido!!

[redevil297]

at 18 i didnt get to see these guys in their heyday and i can only imagine they were amazing then just as they are now

[russisradical]

i love this song reminds me of my late teens

[ddeatsleepsurf]

This song is an acquired taste. You either love it or you don't get it. I love it.

[redrey718619]

I want to dance to a whole set of atdi songs if ever I have a wedding. They kick ass.

[Floydthefuckbag]

This song is just so absolutely perfect.

[jbickleford]

Probably my favorite ATDI song.

[atbestvague]

@jbickleford Its the only ATDI song with Jim Ward as lead singer. You should probably check out his other music then.

[earzmundo]

jim ward, omar, cedric, tony, paul = men of god!! now and 4 ever

[shamrockfire]

Woohoo! #200!



[Omartheterrorist]

3 ppl have vaginas for faces, ATDI kicks ass

[cupcakesgn]

over and over and over. i love this song.

[earzmundo]

interviewed jim...omar gave him a freebie and said...why dont u sing this shit...best fuckin decision ever

[verenawatoosh]

<3

[mrskodak695]

shit makes me wannna cry n stuff...lol gooooood tune

[cupcakesgn]

@mrskodak695 wow

[GJS666]

Absolutely adore this band!!!!

[cupcakesgn]

jim ward is amazing. i wish sparta sounded better. this is probably one of my favorite songs

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

so far my vid got 134 likes and 2 dislikes...

I wonder why'd they bother clicking on this vid?

[cupcakesgn]

@CH1CK3Ncentauri well i probably watch this video 2 times a day minimum... if that counts for anything

[atbestvague]

@CH1CK3Ncentauri I wonder why you think ANY video would ever get 100% bad or good votes

[lilc9407]

I wish i knew about them sooner!!

[cupcakesgn]

LOVE

[davey7865]

atdi is so good; it makes me want to trim, cook and eat my own pubes.

[TravuhsWree]

@davey7865 .....errrrrrrr...........

[borrachocansado]

regret is what i feel.

when someone changes your life -

hold on with both hands.

[0008brown8000]

Are you kidding me?! Whittier? I lived right by there.. ;__;

[ps3mistking]

at the drive in changed my life....from shitty rap music to rock

[Knieghtz]

Jim Ward is singing.

[atthisvelocity1990]

incredible song.

[MikeyValo123]

you know tony wrote this song right?

[AirHendrix91]

Sounds like Jim not Cedric.

[tenneylt]

I LOVE mp3iffy it WORKS just google mp3iffy.

[mtp234]

This song makes me sad ;_;

[righteousrat]

One of At the Drive-In's best songs.

[bjory311]

It's definitely Jim's lead vocals on this track.

[kenaeda65]

God this still gives me chills .i fucking love this album!!!!!

[seatstothewind]

That is Jim singing for sure. And Cedric names is Cedric Bixler Zavala.  Maybe they tag team vocals, MAYBE, but you can tell it's Jim.

[Tool9395]

basically the most beautiful song ever written

[bullet31]

This is totally jim sounds a bit like cedric but wen he screams you can deffinatly tell its a jim scream

[bullet31]

This is totally jim sounds a bit like cedric but wen he screams you can deffinatly tell its a jim scream

[ascheier]

I'm in the minority here, but I think In Casino Out blows away RoC.

[raiders545]

@ascheier i agree

[magnetowasright81]

@ascheier i agree with you there!

[SimplyShadow]

a hymn to love.nicolas.

[falkorock]

one of my favorite ATDI songs!

FR

[dontknomuch]

wow, the jump from this to Relationship of Command is pretty huge.

[MBnjmn]

this is th only song like this on the cd. lopsided is kind like this put picks up more.

[skrlxrs]

tmv is boring. i loved their first album and bought the second but it quickly went back to the store and everything else they've made sounds the same. i guess it would sound rad or different if you were fucked up out of your mind or have the ear and patience of a saint.

i happen to like 3 minute structured songs.

sleepercar is good, sparta was great.

atdi was god. end of discussion.

[Cpost01]

If we knew each other in real life. We would be friends. I feel the same way.

[85Daflash]

This was the only song Jim Ward led vocals on. ATDI was the shit, but im good with what came aft the split. TMV blows! How many more records will they produce, that sound the same? Dnt get me wrong i liked TMV in the beginning, but no more. All gotta check out Ward's new band Sleepercar and also his solo albums.

[tonyAJ420]

TMV blows? No way. Every album they made sounds totally different.

[ASherbuck84]

@tonyAJ420 every time I sit down and take a dump it sounds different too.

I must be an artist.

[titoelchango]

@ASher ROFL! yeah i understand what you mean by that I first heard TMV, didn't like em much only couple of songs, my friends are adicts to them. I found out about ATDI after knowing TMV and Sparta. And i like ATDI more than TMV and Sparta. Wish they would come back together.

[AirHendrix91]

@tonyAJ420 Totally agreed. No band has changed that much.

Maybe Spacemen 3 after 2 or 3 albums when they started doing Acid house music instead of their fuzzed goodness.

[syngen101]

@AirHendrix91 what about radiohead?

[DaR3b3L]

This song is so deep. I can relate to this except for the vein part, i just like to smoke ghanjaa...fkn blasted man, this shyt and napoleon solo killed it, they should make a movie about these guys, fkn the best.

[maskedcrusader]

@DaR3b3L a movie about how at the Drive In met and formed that would be sick.

[TheRoflSaurus]

isnt this like friggin cedrix bixler or something?

i feel like an ignorant twerp now! i only know him from the mars volta! (which kick ass btw)

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

@TheRoflSaurus

It is Cedric from TMV but this is before they split.

But im not very 100% its cedric singing..

i think its Jim i could be wrong..

[intrepidview99]

hate to say it man; but this is obviously Cedric...Jim cant go this high

[Samlawd]

Actually, Jim is credited as vocals for this on the linear notes of the record.

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

oh well jim is still cool.. and cedric is awesome... met him a party last year... some backyard show in Whittier, CA

[Afroxander1]

@CH1CK3Ncentauri

Whittier show? Was it a backyard show with Zechs Marquise?

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

@Afroxander1 well it was actually in near the street whittier by ummm the city of Commerce.. but omars brother's band was playing..

[coathangerblackout]

i always thought this was Cedric singing

but then i watched a live video and Jim was singing and Ced was coming in and out but he didn't do much

[maskedcrusader]

@intrepidview99 It is Jim. His voice is actually pretty high if you've ever listened to Sparta.

[CarrotSlayer93]

They're both singing, switching off at certain verses.

[oxbryacal]

this is JIm

[raiders545]

@CH1CK3Ncentauri its jim, im 100% sure it even says on wikipedia "The album also features Jim Ward's return to the band, who notably sings his debut lead vocals on the track "Hourglass." "

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

@raiders545 well JIM did an incredible job.. =)

[IzZyTX1991]

@raiders545 Its jim

[raiders545]

@IzZyTX1991 i know....thats what i said

[duketronix]

@raiders545 it's both of them actually. watch the live video of them playing it.

[MarsVoltaKA]

@raiders545 It sounds so much like Cedric though. Also, you can't trust Wiki. I'm skeptical but whatever I don't really care it's an incredible song

[adio1353]

@MarsVoltaKA It's both of them actually. Look in the related vids on the side. There's a live performance of this song and it's Jim and Cedric both singing.

[FangsFirst]

@adio1353 Doesn't really prove anything about the studio version...

[GravityRides]

It's Jim Ward singing

[Bestmorganiz]

Perfect song.

[lysol19]

best fucking song fucking ever. fuck man. hell yeah to all my atdi fans! good shit. niggas in the hood like me appreciate these fools. theyre so sick. lets hope for that possible reunion

[MrSpike6969]

For me, it's just weird to think that a band was putting this stuff out over 11 years ago. I think it's so awesome.

[crickenlee31]

this band is 2 good to go unoticed

[oridniv]

I'm probably alone in saying this but them going unnoticed is part of the essence......but I noticed them so it counts :)

[TheRageAndGrace]

They always seem to be better, when they are unnoticed :D

[Daaanvh]

Star Slight, For now... We toast, Ebroglio, Initiation and Napoleon Solo are my favourite atd-i songs!

In casino out is my favourite album!

Hourglass is one of the first songs I heard of atd-i, beautiful.

[canesrule96]

no songs from ROC

[Daaanvh]

No, but I also like that album! Technically it is their best album, but I don't know... I just prefer the older albums :)

My favourite ROC songs are Quarantined & Invalid Litter Dept.

[canesrule96]

i think this is their best album personally

but yeah you're right on a perspective like rolling stone magazine ROC would be considered their best

[23D1998]

no shit

[23D1998]

google

[flekt]

18,985 people with good taste in music...so all the talk of the future not looking so good must be true.

[Casualyme]

flekt, lmaof i was thinking the same EXACT thing.funny how it happens to be the first comment i see

[oridniv]

Seems good for the 20,029 of us...that's all that matters

[tmacomber]

at the drive-in is what initially got me into the 'good' music appreciation

[alexi626]

track 10

[alexi626]

Some of the best times of my life, this played loud and true... Such a perfect song... Nothing else feels like it. And it's awesome to see so many who feel the same.

[AICnSP4EVA]

i still cant believe pure genius like this has 17 thousand hits while absolute rubbish like Three Days Grace have millions for dumb, cliched songs that took around 5 mins or so to write

[luoleng]

the llast three tracks of in casino out are just beyond

[MultiPoopeater]

beautiful song

[minusthefights]

im prity sure jim wrote and sang this song?

not 100% sure but prity sure

[KSBjermaine]

He sings it. Not sure about who wrote it.

[OOLLIIVVIIAA100]

such a good song.. one of my favourite(L)

[julieann266]

This song makes me remember in a happy state. ATDI rocks

[ch320033]

this is still my fav atdi song. thank you for posting.

[fiznalcs]

Transatlantic Foe is their best song, but Shaffino, For Now....We Toast, Paid Vacation Time, and of course Hourglass are also standout songs.

[gbrooks2]

198d, Rascuache, Enfilade or Rolodex Propaganda, IMO.

[shane1346]

Totally agree man.

Respect. :)

[geemoney3333333]

Some heavy hitters on that list. I would have to agree completely.

[GustoHimself]

yeah its ALL about Paid vacation Time, but i know ALOT of people who dont dig that track at all.. FOOLS!

[ParkwayDrive123987]

awesome song

[AnarchyBegins]

Jim Ward's song :)

[bmb121488]

for some reason this song reminds me of bear vs shark.

[JudeTrain]

great song

[Yapiej]

I wished they made music still.

[aperpetualsuffering]

i know, right? damn you 2001

[WCarson1993]

its when they broke up

[ayty77]

my cd got scattched and on this song .god this is one good song

[b3njaques]

Greatest band of all time, influenced so much as well.

[atdi91]

i love this song.just wish i had the cd so i can hear it every day lyke i do to all ther cds.

[xn0y0urenemyx]

what other songs did jim sing

[Ulmeyda08]

"Star Slight"

[LoveIsNotEnoughJesse]

if they played this live

my apendix would explode

xD

[LolJayl]

They have played this live, I've only seen one video of it though.

[rheehrheeh1234]

Love Jim ward.

one of my fav ATDI aongs is Farenheit.

The whole of El Gran Orgo is freaking awesome.

[Jakusthecount]

i wonder what cedric actually did in this song? there's two guitars at the end so maybe he played one of them. jim ward ftw!

[believes2]

luv it. slow atdi is good atdi.

[CaliforniaRIP90210]

i totally agree 100% :D

[bbeaup]

great song. up their as one of my favorites along with "198d" "initiation" and "lopsided." Needless to say, I really did their chill stuff.

[ariignosis]

initiation is awsome, their first album is the best, very raw and "hardcore". in/casino/out is the wirst but have anthems like this and napoleon solo. relationship of command is the most famous and hit-tracks record.

atdi is my fav band

[raymondo19]

Really? I thought In/Casino/Out was their best album

[xXxFatalErrorxXx]

FURISO'S AN ATTENTION LEECH!

[KSBjermaine]

Jim Ward is the shit.

[Furiso]

THE NEED FOR SPEED!

[Furiso]

GRAYS A DICK!

[Furiso]

FAUXE IS A DOUCHE!

[Epiphone314]

This is a great song....no dout about it. Hey the song Winter month Novelty is also a great song, and all the other songs everone else said are great to! Thanks for uploaded this.

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

no prob.. next song im gonna do is Skips On The Record.. that's another chill great song. haha what am i saying all there songs are Great even the "Alfaro Vive Carajo" and "Hell Paso"

[dossfort]

ticklish and star slight are by far the best songs by At The Drive-IN

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

COSMONAUT.. man.. can't top that one.. and PATTERNS AGAINST USER... but yeah.. all there songs are great..

[mcondave]

Have you forgotten Arc Arsenal?

[jeianafa12547dj]

Have you all forgotten 198d probably their most haunting lyrics, and Quarantined is just too destructive to put into words after hearing it Both are great. Yet seeing as we're all fans with opinions here I agree with everyone else and their pick.

[Epiphone314]

Hell yeah! "Alfaro Vive Carajo" and "Hell Paso" our awsoume EPs. Hey did Atdi ever play Hourglass live?

[fussystephens]

no they never played it

[contagion6]

star slight<3

[SweatersDotCom]

Great song. Thanks for uploading.

[CH1CK3Ncentauri]

no prob.. i know how hard it is.. to find a good video with that song.. so i just got the album cover and song..
