I love it.  Excellent album, though a bit poppy.

yes it's poopy but that doesn't matter ot me. if you don't like the poppy-ness then i'm not sure how you'll feel about CWA--i'd get it though (i love both). dredg is a great band and i'm always happy when i see people discover them. =)

I can enjoy watching z-grade crappy movies, but for me poopy music just plain stinks.

I wouldn't say CWA has a poppy sound as much as it has a alternative-rock sound sorta like Porcupine Tree on Deadwing. Certainly a good album but nowhere near the genius of El Cielo or Leifimoff.
I hope TMV don't go too over the top with experimentation. The amount which was used on Frances is fine, we just don't need them creating a Kid A.

No, the popiness doesn't bother me(in this case  ) because the album is composed perfectly... it's very nice to listen to something catchy for a change

^^^i do and don't. i'm hoping for something different. adn, though it'd piss a lto of people off, i'd be estatic if they did somethign crazt like "The Sound of Animals Fighting" second release "Lover, The Lord Has LEft Us"...Their first album was just pnukish w/slight experimentations--their second is a puzzling blend of tribal music, techno/electronic stuff, depressing melodies and a bit of punk thrown in for good measure. natuarly about 3/4 of their fans hated it--i recommend downloading/buyign it for any TMV fan here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND actually. |
Well, the new album what they did was build the songs up for the drum beat rather than start with a melody. That is probably the main reason they sound so different. I didn't like it at all. Their first album was experimental enoguh to suit me, and was actually enjoyable.
Anyway, obviously, I am eagerly anticipating this.

I wanna hear them use even more raw noise, psychedelic effects and distorted, pitch-modified vocals. but perhaps not a half-hour jam this time.

I'll add my voice to the throng here.
I'd like some John Cage-style minimalism next...
So far, the only output of TMV that has even moderately dissapointed me
has been Scab Dates. I'd like to be surprised by what they do next, and
I'm fairly confident I will be regardless of which direction they go!

Personally I'd love to see Volta throw off the shackles of their indie/punk image and do something utterly unashamedly geeky and strange. I get the feeling they're gearing themselves up to enter the charts again (a goal I'd very ambivalent about if I were them).

I agree... but these days it's a more delicate balance than ever
between following your muse, and watching the record company shelve
your album.

I'm hoping for the same. 
I'm actually a bit worried they may sell out to MTV and be one of those bands that were prog in the early days but changed their minds. Otherwise we can hope for more psychedelic madness and what not.

Amputechture is a brilliant album. I can't beleive more people are not talking about it here. Definitely not the same as either of the prior albums but every bit as good. Ambience is toned way down, tons of actual music. Huge epic, YES-like songs. I've only been listenting for a couple of days but this may very well grow to be one of favorite prog albums ever.
