TMV - Bedlam in Goliath

so far it rocks, and i below i posted all 5 videos that have come out. don't worry, all are on public servers, and completely legal. Four of them are actually on the TMV website, and the fifth likely will be too. The songs are amazing though, that's for sure. Watch and leave feedback please! If these don't get you hyped, I dunno what will!

Track 1 - Aberinkula

Track 2 is called Metatron, and there is a :30 second clip that circulated around Myspace for anyone interested...PM me and I'll link you if you want. It was with an ad, so it was also legally released (by the band's myspace) so nothing to worry about there.

Track 3 - Ilyena

Track 4 - Wax Simulacra (official single)

Track 5 - Goliath (a monster, the video cuts the song up unfortunately, it's only really like 7-8 minutes, not 10.)

Track 6 is called Torniquet Man, no news on it yet except that it is short and rather soft/melodic.

Track 7 is called Cavalettas, and is long, and supposedly the heaviest song they've done.

Track 8 is called Agadez. No real news on it, except that it features "Faith No More and Bobby Brown-esque vocals at parts" ...which is HARD to imagine.

Track 9 is called Askepios, and is sweet.

Track 10 is Ouroboros and supposedly is a soft and heavy song that serves as an effective, dark climax.

Track 11 is called Soothsayer, and is a long, "epic" song, with eastern tinges I do believe.

Track 12 is the final track, called Conjugal Burns, and I know nothing about it.


Anyway, enjoy--it's GREAT stuff. Don't be put off by the videos by the way, they are tongue in cheek and are going to be unified with the entire album having a video, and I assume, considering this is THE MARS VOLTA we're talking about, that they have a point outside their apparent mockery of the band's image!


Enjoy!

(evidently, as marketing, they are releasing a video by week until release...so yes, there will be more, and i'll just update this post with them as they come.)


DISCLAIMER (to save my skin!): if you don't wanna hear the album before release date (which is january 29), then simply DO NOT click on the links...have a nice day!

The hooks are great in Wax Simulacra, Ilyena and Goliath, and Aberinkula and Askepios are solid tracks as well. All excellent and memorable musicianship - five for five. No random noise yet, and no Spanish vocals yet. Personally I'm very impressed.

Not to be a downer, but I already miss Theodore's Bonham/Cobham influences, two of my favorite drummers. Though I admit Pridgen is the best replacement I can think of for the group.

good stuff.... look forward to hearing the album

^^^glad you like it^^^

Sounds pretty good so far, even though I can't take the music seriously at all with those ridiculous videos lmao. I doubt it'll match the brilliance of their first two albums, though.

hah. well this promptly died after it was moved...eh.

oh well i guess. good riddance.
