Album cover reminds me of a later Tool album of sorts. Nice little pre-order package though.

The pre-order mentions a "forthcoming live box set." Must be the Terminal 5 thing? Is this the first they've said about it? A DVD/CD set would be amazing.

I went to two of the T5 shows and no taping was allowed so I am hoping that they release all five nights. They performed some amazing covers and rarities that need to be released.

I really don't like bands doing fan clubs...i'd never join. It is basically just a way for them to make more $...and the benefits are never what they say.

and I agree...ugly ass album cover and kind of dumb album name.

I bet this album leaks this week.

I'll be overjoyed if they release all five nights. A box would be cool, but so would individual cd/dvds. That way I could skip...certain nights.

What's Octoplasm??

No doubt. Was hoping that was just the "single" cover. Ouch. Seriously, guys hire a graphic designer or something. Sheesh.

*edit* if the cover art's green portion is "made" with green vinyl like it appears in this picture...that's kinda cool.

I could care less about the art if this album isn't as bad as the last one (or as weak as the Circuital tune).

that song is so much better live---but yeah, other than Circuital and Wonderful (which has been around for years), I haven't been all that thrilled with the 4 or 5 songs I've heard..but I think you'll like it better than EU.

fingers crossed, Penny. JJ is such a talented dude who is capable of so much that I get even more disappointed if I don't dig what he puts out.

New song "holdin on to black metal" up on their Facebook page. It is terrible. I could only make it through about 1:30 before I turned it off. This band appears to be going down the toilet quite rapidly.

RE: the cover art, I felt that the cover art for TFire, Dawn and to a lesser extent Still Moves was all great. Then something abruptly changed starting with Z. The cover art since then has just been stupid.

I like it too. It's kinda loose and fun without making me feel like a paint chip eater for listening to it (hello, "Highly Suspicious"). Kinda sounds like how "The Dark" might have turned out if they had recorded it for Z.

So apparently "Holdin on to Black Metal" is basically a cover of this:



Not sure how I feel about that. I guess I don't understand what the point is.

:lol:

Yeah, I'm adjusting my expectations a bit after hearing these two tracks. I like Circuital a little less every time I listen to it, and for some reason the fact that Black Metal is basically a cover with new lyrics bugs me. Speaking of lyrics, I miss the days when Jim (sorry, "Yim" :roll: ) would just belt them out into a cloud of reverb that was so thick I didn't have to focus on how bad they were...

It might be time for me to just pretend these guys broke up after Okonokos.

I dig a few tracks on EU, but I'm in the same boat as you.

MMJ is like DBT to me. I'm constructive as a novice of musicianship and artist intentions. I can't ever say it's bad because they've been so damn great.

I don't get Black Metal.... the articles or Jim talking about Cambodian kids in an alley singing along and this as a cover. I expected way different.

Circuital isn't bad.

Both songs have me waiting for
Jim (sorry, "Yim" ) TO just belt them out into a cloud of reverb that was so thick I didn't have to focus on how bad they were...

Did they rename "Friends Again," or did it not make the cut? I liked that song...
