Finally after all these years we get Mr. Muggs in full studio quality on 180g black audiophile vinyl. I am glad they left Frances the Mute and Rubin's Concertina to fit this masterpiece in the set twice.

Mr. Muggs confirmed

At the time, the word from MOV was they thought the European rights were somehow different. IIRC they pretty much defended themselves to the end as they took the brunt of the rage while the problem was supposedly on Universal's end. I can't believe I remember that because I don't even remember this morning. *also they never pressed Bedlam In Goliath so the entire interview is, in Volta fashion, not to be believed.

I don't want to believe that Mr. Muggs was added over Frances and Concertina but that would the most Mars Volta move of all time. Can't even be mad.

It's been awhile but my Mars Volta internet conspiracy engine is still intact. The mock ups on https://us.cloudshillshop.com/collections/the-mars-volta/products/the-mars-volta-la-realidad-de-los-suenos-vinyl-box-set clearly show both a Cedric and an Omar etching on Plague and Eunuch, indicating heavily that those two songs will have their own discs. Using trigonometry I have determined that, based on the pressings I have, 5 albums save FTM are 2LPs coming in at 10, Plague and Eunuch given the face etchings (gratuitous) makes 14, Frances being 3 makes 17. Summer Sessions are most likely 1LP, so

Hopefully you can look forward to being $600 poorer! And if tours ever come back, $1000 poorer!

for this amount of money I hope they didn't because I'm going to need to sell my OPs to make rent

$500 and it doesn't have the Deloused version of Concertina? I haven't been this disappointed by the Mars Volta since the Mars Volta was a band.

I’d be more excited over expanded reissues than a new record but either way, my body is ready. Unless this falls apart like the last 5 labels Omar has been on/started

Interestingly Omar owns the vinyl rights to the full Mars Volta discography as discovered in the 2015 MOV fiasco. Hopefully the remasters will sound better than the Nadie "remaster" of Tremulant.... Although I give it 50/50 that this ever happens or gets mentioned ever again

new song is low key amazing, time to do some yoga to avoid the headbanging nosebleed I got at the Magma tour 1 million years ago.

My memory is not what it used to be I stand corrected. But I do know for sure there are track splits before and after Burn It Down, plus back in the day I used to rip and compare waveforms

Anybody have an opinion on how this sounds? I have the 1LP and it's horrible, wondering if it's worth picking up the 2LP. The one I have has audible track splits

Bandcamp’s reputation makes this and their livestreaming platform a good fit imo. Better them than some third party nonsense. As for overpriced vinyl, that ship sailed last decade. If a $45 1LP makes 250 vaporwave people happy, glory to em

Bull Moose has the Metal Blade orange splatter variant, it looks like
