throughbeingcruel Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 So buy a boxset containing completely (as of now) unreleased music by one of the most overrated musicians on earth (shoot me)? Wow. The ATDI camp never cease to amaze me in their douchebaggery. The Vool, Mourning Wood and davepriz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but OP seems to suggest that the boxset won't be available for purchase until after all the material becomes available.

highfives Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Haters be damned, this is the start of some good shit. New ATDI, and "eventually Mars Volta". Possibly a collab with Mike Patton.

What made you definitively decide not to make another solo album?To be quite candid, when my mother passed in 2012, just right before when At the Drive-In played, I wasn't even there. I was not in my body. She passed one week before, and of course, as you can imagine, it made me look at everything in a different way, and it was a huge shock to my system. From that moment on, when I finally started the long road to accepting it and recuperating, I decided that I wanted to dedicate my time, while I'm still here, to collaborating with people and being a part of something and sharing things, rather than working on solo work, where I'm writing everything and doing everything and locked up in my studio. And from there, the idea was born: "I only want to be in bands now. I only want to make records with people." I started Bosnian Rainbows, and shortly after that I started Antemasque with [Cedric Bixler-Zavala]. Now, obviously, this with At the Drive-In. And eventually Mars Volta. It was really just a shock to my system, and this was just one of the ways it redirected my entire life.Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/omar-rodriguez-lopez-on-epic-solo-album-series-new-at-the-drive-in-lp-20160711#ixzz4E8xTNsyL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the no insert part. From the copies I've seen, the sticker has always been on the shrinkwrap. So I guess if you threw out the wrapping, you'd be left with just the foikl cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a definite need for their entire catalog to be repressed. I’m still kicking myself for not getting Goliath when it was $30....

I wouldn't get your hopes up on this. Those guys are honestly the fucking worst about following through with any promises. Plus, they "remastered" Tremulant when they started their "label" Nadie (RIP) and it sounded so bad it almost seemed like a prank. Then their soundguy at the time basically told anyone who noticed how bad it sounded to fuck off because it was a creative decision. As for the represses, MOV did some but they got shut down because Omar has the exclusive rights to vinyl pressings for the entire discography. Seeing as he is now 24 solo records, an Antemasque record, and a record label short of delivering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
