| Troy User Info... |  as well this is an awesome album that i suggest alot of people go and check out, it was only 7.99 as well?!! at futureshop so the price is right. Its kind of different from their last release, De-loused in the Commatorium, but i really love this album, and thats about all i have to say.. so yes... - Sun, 6 Mar 2005 11:11pm | ||
| The One After Two User Info... | its good, not great. Takes a lot of life force to hear the whole thing, and with summer approaching you probably have fences that need mending and weeds that need some pulling... - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 1:20pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Some of the latin influences were a little too latin for me, but i thought all in all it was a superb album. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 6:03pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | this album is no "de-loused" that's for damn sure.. they should have never produced the album themselves... i hate you Omar... you suck - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 8:40pm | ||
| KinChris User Info... | This album is deloused and a bag of chips. I've been playing this thing since I got it, and I still keep hereing new kickass parts after 20 listens. Only complaint: they pulled a bit of a tool "Aenama" Amazing songs, but too much filler noise in between. 5 minutes of cricket noises? Common. it's cool that your cd is nearly 80 minutes long, but why not make it 60 minutes? I'm getting tired of hitting the skip button after I listen to te first 4 minutes of the 2nd song. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 10:05pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | obviously you guys don't know about atmospheric recordings then. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 11:47pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | de-loused is soo good so many sweet beats...so many tight riffs...this album is just an excuse for omar to do guitar solos... once again i hate you ... you mexican peice of shit... and don't get me wrong i like the album who couldn't but seriously ross robinson should have been on this shit - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 3:06am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | I posted about this album a few months ago, but I guess nobody else downloaded it haha! only $9.99 brand new. Its no Deloused. Its decent tho. - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 11:04am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | "but seriously ross robinson should have been on this shit " I thought it was Rick Rubin? - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 11:05am | ||
| alain User Info... | I think it's an amazing album and shouldn't be compared to de-loused. They're writing what they wanted to write, even if it's with more strange noise than ever, which is why they split with ATDI in the first place. I love the noise. I prefer the music of course, but I love the noise too. I just think they should be making albums more frequently to compensate for the smaller amount of real song material. That's ideal to me anyway, unlike tool, as KinChris stated, who use tonnes of filler and put our albums very rarely. The only song I don't like as much is the third one, L'Via I think, I also have a hard time digging that much latin, but I think on songs like Cygnus, where it's used but not as much, it makes for a much more enjoyable song to me. All in all, great album - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 11:10am | ||
| Japanese Air Force User Info... | It was Rick Rubin on Deloused. He is the man. Do not fuck with Rick. ~JAF - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 12:46pm | ||
| Troy User Info... | it really shouldnt be compared to de-loused but everyone will.. i love de-loused but i also love this album It does take a bit to listen to , but for the most part i go through all of it, with out skipping, some decent artwork thou. for the cd well i like it, too bad for the first part of their north american tour there are no stops anywhere near here.. "once again i hate you ... you mexican peice of shit.." hah and i think Omar is from Puerto Rico so - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 11:23pm | ||
| trican User Info... | yeah i was think in my head rick rubin or ross robinson... i went with one... similar names and all.. haha yeah he is from puerto rico... haha puerto rican bastard - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 1:37am | ||
| [+} User Info... | it's like listening to the amp room at long and mcquade. omar is wankery. but the drum production is off the map. jon theodore is so in the pocket, and should not be fucked with. rick rubin on the other hand... i don't see whats wrong with latin, as it's a flavour that's all over the album. so it's cohesive. it's not just some track for street cred with all the chachos out there. again, it's good not fantastic. but then again, deloused was good. not fantastic. i think i liked the intro to it better though. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 4:50pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | I'm not a big world music fan.... i guess i like my music to be north american. "hah and i think Omar is from Puerto Rico so" Ethnicly yeah, but i think all ATDI (and therefor more of sparta and Volta) are from El Paso Texas, i guess either way, its not mexico. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 9:35pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | don't argue with the man, he's ignorant. - Thu, 10 Mar 2005 1:16am | ||
| alain User Info... | Alright, it's not the latin sound I have a problem with, I love it, I have a hard time getting into the spanish lyrics when there's a lot more of it is what I was fumbling to say. In Cygnus, that much spanish vocals are cool, but in L'Via L'Viaquez, I have a hard time with the big blocks of spanish lyrics. I think the production was killer though. - Thu, 10 Mar 2005 7:07pm | ||
| Lythic Matt User Info... | Me I don't speak a word of Spanish, and yet the Spanish song (L' Via l'Viaquez ) makes as much sense to me, lyrically, as any of the other songs this band has ever written. Or ATDI songs, fuck. There is _no way_ that Cedric doesn't write straight out of the dictionary. Words sound better that way; they're chosen for their sound rather than their meaning. Meaning is total BS. Obviously somebody's going to post about how they read the background story and I'm wrong and the lyrics make sense if you put 2 and 2 together with the background story. NO THEY DON'T. I wrote an entire other paragraph about people who would believe that, but I got so angry I started pushing everything off my desk so I think I'd better steer clear from it. All in all, this album is sweet, but there are times when you have to be engaged in something else, or on acid to enjoy it. And if you've got some acid, hook it up. - Fri, 11 Mar 2005 12:00am | ||
| wordsaredumb User Info... | a fatty blazed and this album sounds good (inspiring in some parts) from start to finish - Wed, 23 Mar 2005 12:17am | ||
| Japanese Air Force User Info... | Call it "atmospheric" if you want... I call it "scary halloween noises". I'm a little disappointed in the amount of "atmosphere" they've decided to put on this album. I prefer when they play their songs, instead of when they play with their rack gear and space echo. A good album, but a little disappointing for myself. More music, less "whoooosh wirrrrrrr meep meep meep arrrooooo woooooooosh". ~JAF - Wed, 23 Mar 2005 9:16am | ||
