Everything leaks. Americans can't keep secrets. Which, incidentally, is the most damning proof that all these conspiracy theories are crap; if they were true somebody would have leaked them a long, long time ago.
 
Listen to Viscera Eyes. It's quite good. Also, one of the songs is 17 minutes and two others are over 11 minutes; the rest are under 11 minutes. The album is a total of 76 minutes.

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.

I'm hoping for the same.Big smile
 
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.

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. Ouch

I'll add my voice to the throng here.

I'd like some John Cage-style minimalism next... Wink

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! Thumbs Up

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.

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 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.
