Go kill your self Cerpin Taxt!
Lucky. I wanted to order it but I didn't have a player :v:
Didn't they come out with a cd version that was shaped like a piece of Goliath?
[QUOTE=Take_Opal]Didn't they come out with a cd version that was shaped like a piece of Goliath?[/QUOTE] There's a version that comes on a USB drive shaped like an Ouija board piece, if that's what you meant.
[QUOTE=Duckmurderer]The music would be quite literally a million times better if they had a better lead vocalist.[/QUOTE] Well actually, the singer can sing pretty good. It's just not our type of singing. It's not that he has a terrible voice. Not a fan.
[QUOTE=Boyblunder]There's a version that comes on a USB drive shaped like an Ouija board piece, if that's what you meant.[/QUOTE] I have one. I'm kind of disappointed with the monthly content so far.
[QUOTE=Hyperpower!]I have one. I'm kind of disappointed with the monthly content so far.[/QUOTE] I didn't order one because I thought it was kind of a waste, I could have gotten a 4GB for 20 bucks.
Viscera Eyes live... holy fuck, it sends shivers down my spine. When the lead guitar comes in after the riff, it just sounds so fucking amazing. [b]Edit:[/b] OH MY GOD THE DRUM SOLO It makes my loins excited.
[QUOTE=Cerpin Taxt]Also I will be recieving the Bedlam in Goliath vinyl in the mail in a couple weeks. It will contain a new song. Mmmm should be tasty.[/QUOTE] Nice reaping avatar :). I think only me and him will get why I call it reaping. I got Goliath a while ago and started listening to it just a few days ago. It's actually pretty good.
if i remember correctly, theese guys are stoner rock..

[QUOTE=TheSynth]Nice reaping avatar :). I think only me and him will get why I call it reaping[/QUOTE] Indeed. I don't much care for their music anymore, but the artwork for that album will never stop kicking ass.
I fucking love Jeff Jordan's artwork. [img]http://www.jeffjordanart.com/images/The%20Moth.jpg[/img] His 'deluge' painting has been my wallpaper for ages.
Jeff Jordan does some crazy ass paintings. We can only assume strong hallucinogens are involved...But I think Storm Thurgeson's work was better suited for Volta.
[QUOTE=Divided]if i remember correctly, theese guys are stoner rock..[/QUOTE] You probably say that because they're really fun to listen to while high. Everyone assumes that psychedelic automatically means stoner.
[QUOTE=Cerpin Taxt]Jeff Jordan does some crazy ass paintings. We can only assume strong hallucinogens are involved...But I think Storm Thurgeson's work was better suited for Volta.[/QUOTE] I've heard so much of Thorgeson's art, but I have never seen it.

Although the Frances the Mute artwork is really awesome too. Not a fan of De-Loused's.

I don't like De-Loused. Frances, yeah.
The singer can sound kinda whiny, but they are still pretty good.
[QUOTE=Boyblunder]You probably say that because they're really fun to listen to while high.[/QUOTE] They are.
[QUOTE=Jb0land]The singer can sound kinda whiny, but they are still pretty good.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't really say it's whiny - a whiny voice would be someone like Billy Corgan. But yeah, he has a crazy unique voice.
[QUOTE=Hyperpower!]They are.[/QUOTE] Of course! I wasn't going to deny the fact. I was just saying.
[QUOTE=BloodBeauty]I personally liked At The Drive-In better, but I still love The Mars Volta.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZagV69HujUY[/media] Yeah them guys own HARD!
At The Drive-In was basically the lead singer and the guitarist and a few other members. I think the major change to the Mars Volta was the genre in music. I might be mistaken, though.
I love De-Loused in the Comatorium. Great two opening songs, two great ending songs.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal]I love De-Loused in the Comatorium. Great two opening songs, two great ending songs.[/QUOTE] Son et Lumiere is sexy :love: I wish there was a long version of it.
They also have insanely long songs. Tetragrammaton = 16 minutes!
Cassandra Gemini = about 30. Oh Cassandra, how I love you.
I really enjoyed Bedlam In Goliath
