The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta (September 16, 2022) Album • Page 25

Yes. Closer to Antemasque maybe? I like it. Definitely harks to that power pop Cedric is so fond of

 

Yeah agreed with the power pop comparison. I’m even more excited for this album now, feels like they really came back with a fresh vision for their sound.

 

Yes, while this isn’t necessarily the sound I had in mind for new TMV, it at least sounds like they’re having fun and doing what they want and not pandering to what they think the fans might enjoy. I really like this song. (Although I don’t like how it just ends.) It is Octahedron on pop rocks.

 

Best part of Volta, imo, is that you really have no idea what they’re going to sound like on an album-to-album basis

 

where did yall hear the 2nd single? cant find it anywhere.

 

Their YouTube channel has already uploaded the song, guess it'll be available to hear in a couple hours

 

Not available for me

 

Patiently waiting.....

 

I'm listening back through some of my favorite Omar solo albums to kill time before new TMV. I think a lot of people have listened to Bufalo, which has the obvious Cedric featuring tracks, but if anyone hasn't listened to The Apocalypse Inside Of An Orange, I suggest at least checking out "Melting Chariots," "Spared From The Insult List," "Baby Fat" and "Coma Pony." The band on the album is Omar, Juan, Marcel, Adrian and Money Mark, so a big overlap with Amp/Bedlam-era TMV

 

I’ve listened to it three times today and I love it. I expect very polarized reactions, haha. I really liked Octahedron at the time and still like most of it but this song is such a more appealing take on that sound to me.

 

make me a playlist of non-atdi/tmv but related stuff steve. do you have a spreadsheet like your insane/great beatles one

 

Cryptomnesia if you want some Cedric-fronted stuff!

 

If you really want to get crazy, I did do a mini-review of... ahem... every single Omar album:

https://forum.chorus.fm/threads/omar-rodriguez-lópez.4357

but these are the key full album listens, if you want topline for Omar's stuff:

Se Dice Bisonte, No Bufalo
Apocalypse Inside An Orange
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fungus
Old Money
Megaritual
Cryptomnesia
Xenophanes
Solar Gambling

and then of course Antemasque

I can try to make a playlist of best-of, but honestly the idea sounds a bit daunting to me at this moment and would probably take a while haha

 

Graveyard Love is reallly good

 

cool song, i like it, but i wish it was a little longer. just when it feels like it's starting to get really good, it ends :(

 

No idea what this album is gonna sound like from these two tracks. Very curious

 

I think I can at least get the general vibe, but yeah it's very different from anything I've heard Cedric and Omar do together, so that is pretty exciting

 

Really great song but also hope there is at least one longer track on the album.

 

I love it even though it wish it was longer. Makes me wonder if it flows directly into a rock-ier song on the tracklist.

 

Like it a lot more than the first single

 

I like it alot. Watch this album be 30 minutes long.

 

I’ll be a little salty if we get a 30 minute Volta album lmao

 

I hope we get a release date for the album soon at least
