New TMV album: Amputechture?

It's been circulating around the net that the new Mars Volta album will be called Amputechture. Sorry, I don't have an official link or anything, but I've heard this from a variety of sources. Apparently the latest newsletter announced it along with a release date of 11/08/06 - it's unclear whether this means it's coming out in August or November right now, but either way, I'm pretty excited!

So, what is everybody expecting/hoping for from the album?

Sounds cool, I looking forward for it.

^^^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.

And now, the new double album by The Mars Volta, featuring ONE WHOLE DISC OF NOISE!

Jk, I love those guys, but hopefully they cut down on it a bit...seriously, in Miranda, that was just overkill. Im looking forward to how different the single will be. Maybe more in the vein of Inertiatic ESP?

^^^i agree, but i also wouldn't be opposed to them throwing everythign out of the window and redefining themselves--it takes a lot of balls to do things like that. although i would rather something like that happen after a few more albums of their punk-prog perfection...but still. i'm looking foward to it either way--but nto too foward...i hate beign disappointed...not that i think i will just...it came out awfully quickly, and also supposedly omar's already written the fourth album.

de-loused was the best album (in my opinion) and that was the one where both omar and cedric wrote...if the above is true (which i think it is, visit www.thecomatorium.com and have a look around) then we have 3 albums writte nby omar in about two years probably...which is just...wow...if amp. is good then my faith will eb restored. i jsut don't want it to be rushed...

and i'd also like it to be a bit better than 10,000 days was--which disappointed a lto of people--the first half was amazing...but it got kinda mushy after that in my opinion...

Aufheben-when a person expects a band to something similar to previous abum even though doing something completely different is the next logical step. 

 

I hope TMV takes this direction with the new album. 

 

Examples:

 

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to Adore

 

Ok Computer to Kid A

If they cut down on the repetition and stopped doing so much experimental noise/psychadelic jamming (I don't mind jamming, but I don't think Omar is very good at it) and got down to actually making music then I would buy it. Parts of FTM were amazing, and it would have been a very good album if they had edited it down to 45-50 minutes.

i love bands that "progress" =)

haha you'd be suprised
