cloud87 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This was just uploaded a few hours ago. 30 second preview of one of the songs: http://soundcloud.com/themarsvolta/the-malkin-jewel-snippet I really like it. Especially like how Cedric's vocals aren't as high pitched as on many Volta songs. Also check out YouTube for live versions of some of the other songs. EDIT: oh and the pic on the Mars Volta site for the album is the album artwork. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ugh. That album art is pretty lame. Looks like a half-hour Photoshop job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Keep in mind that thread was started on May 14th 2010 (less than a year after the release of the last album) when speculation for the album that would become Noctourniquet could officially begin lol. Still there are hundreds of pages of non-sense and Lost discussion coursing through that heap. I've checked in periodically the whole time and it gets pretty useless in there.

planetrakis Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've never seen a board grow like coma did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 2005 was probably its peak of activity. Some threads just hand where they are for weeks in certain sub-forums but back then everything was in near-constant motion. It got significantly slower when Theory (the original owner) left the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtired Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yea wasn't it called LP6 before? when did it became the band's "official" forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think the forum gained official status around the time of Octahedron's release. Possibly during Bedlam though. Can't quite remember as I stopped paying much attention to official site after Theory stopped designing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I absolutely love the album art. Oh well... And I am loving how experimental that clip sounded. Holy crap it sounds better than octahedron already ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 And I am loving how experimental that clip sounded. Holy crap it sounds better than octahedron already ha. This and i can't wait! I'm feeling the exact opposite. That clip has set my expectations and excitement back a fair bit. Am I alone on this one?

mcpherson123 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 For the love of God, people! Its only 30 seconds of what stands to be at least a 60-ish minute album. How could it really affect your anticipation in any significant manner? For the record, I like the clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it really affect your anticipation in any significant manner? 1)Anything new they do I am biased to like. 2)It honestly did sound pretty different from anything they have done which excites me.(sexually that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've been a fan since 2004. I'm all about soaking up every last pre-release crumb and dissecting it for the fun of the anticipation as I've gone through this ritual with every release after Deloused but I can't believe how many people between here and the comatorium are acting like this little clip is going to be indicative of the entire album. And the bitch-made smiting continues. I didn't call anyone's mother a whore. I just tried to shake a little sense into this situation.

morfiend Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was a huge fan of this band until I saw them live 6 years ago and they insulted the crowd numerous times for "slam dancing". Someone ended up throwing a few bottles onstage and the band left the stage after only a few songs. They're talented but I didn't care for the douchey rock star attitudes.

I didn't call anyone's mother a whore. I just tried to shake a little sense into this situation. I don't think it's indicative of the whole album, but it's the first material released by the band to a rabid fanbase. Of course it's going to shape expectations. When has the Internet ever reacted calmly or rationally to anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Will probably buy the vinyl but I dont have high hopes, I havent really loved an album by them since Deloused. same but in all honesty have not really listened to anything since deloused.

mcpherson123 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 New track "The Malkin Jewel" can be heard in full as a radio rip (nice quality) in the comatorium thread dedicated to the new album in the News forum. Pages 1310 and 1311 have links. Not linking directly because of potential legal issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
