Skacel Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Gonna try for the Dublin show - it'd be rude not to! Surprised they're only doing one UK show.Think I'm going to have to try for tickets for Dublin too. They could easy do a full sell out UK tour.Edit - or maybe the dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't see how this is going to be any good. Omar confessed to not feeling their old tunes anymore and I'm not interested in seeing a couple of old dudes mimicking their golden years. It's a pity they couldn't just let it rest and keep on pushing forward with their stuff. Every video I've seen online of them playing reunions shows over the years are terrible, none of them seem into it at all. I obviously wouldn't expect them to jump around and be crazy like they did when they were young, but they just sat still and looks bored.

I have set expectations really low on this HOWEVER.. I might be nicely surprised and I am not counting them out just yet. Coast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm having a real hard time imagining a 2016 ATDI album being anything more than merely "listenable" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm not sure how I feel about new music from them but I will definitely catch that Portland date. Their first time here in like 15 years. RoC was such a good "final" album, it is a bummer they are continuing when they don't seem that into it. I should be fine with it as long as there are some noodly guitar lines and Cedric's voice is waaay lower in the mix. GhostTrail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idioteque... Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The pessimism is ridiculous. The reasons the 2012 or 13 shows didn't work, 1. Omar lost his mother. 2. There was some bad blood still 3. they did it for the money. They didn't even do a tour out of Texas, that's how failed that reunion was. No one asked them to do this, no one paid for this. Cedric and Omar had a fight but then reunited as newer version of Mars Volta as Antemasque and that sounded better than the last couple of Mars Volta albums. I feeling that they're renengerized, not forcing anything and having fun and that's why this album/tour will be fun. mootloot and Coast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic shmogic No one can properly refute this because what everyone is actually trying to say is: "I'm upset because it won't sound EXACTLY like RoC. The band members evolved and I didn't."

They did a full European tour in 2012, too, but yeah, it was definitely a "pay off some debt" tour. Basically nothing but huge festivals. I also hope this is for the right reasons this time around, and that whatever they're writing lives up to their legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mootloot Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 So excited for this! I have always wanted to see this band back in the day and never have. Now I get to see them at such a small venue as Terminal 5 instead of something like Coachella or a fest. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It's definitely not logical to base opinions off of actual interviews and recent live shows. All signs are actually totally the opposite of what they're pointing at and the color green doesn't actually exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnstiles Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'll be buying a ticket for Chicago. Decently priced. Also, I was not as disappointed as everyone else when they played lollapalooza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm not saying that as an ATDI snob or anything, it's just that I haven't really liked anything Omar and Cedric have done together in the past ten-ish years so I'm not expecting a new ATDI album to change that.

atticus Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If I set my hopes low enough maybe I'll enjoy it. Oddly similar to my outlook on the day when I wake up in the morning. BrainGilliams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
