    Posted: July 10 2006 at 00:51
I just checked the page on that newly released album, I've noticed the vote who is the pwerson who voted one star?, has that person listened to the album, looks more like a grudge vote. Thats the frustrating thing when people have something against a certain band and give them a bad vote  not on the merit of their music but because they don't want them on the prog archives. I wonder who gave the five star as well, have they heard the album yet?. So far I only trust the vote that gave it four stars. I want to know honestly whose actually heard the album and what they think of it. Is it an improvement on Frances or what?

I totally agree...You can listen to Viscera Eyes on their myspace account.  I was very impressed by it to say the least.  The first one is the first part of the song and the one below it is the rest of the song.  www.myspace.com/themarsvolta

cool, I'll check that out. Unfortunately It hasn't been released in NZ, probably a week or. I'm looking forward to hearing their new stuff, they're a very fresh sounding act, I think the future of prog to a large extent lies in these guys.

Reviews should not be allowed before the album is actually released. It's possible that he has heard the album (although it's not likely), but if he did he did so illegally, and we don't want to encourage that.

Listening to Viscera Eyes on their myspace page, sounds a lot more pyschedelic than their previous efforts, which is a good thing. I've also noticed Omar is on synths.

Hey, Viscera Eyes is all music. And it's not as incredibly repetitive as songs like L'Via L'Viaquez were. Cool. I might actually buy Amputechture.

Agreed, it's probably just some troll who thinks they aren't Prog or something. I know I can wait until it comes out, I don't download really anymore anyways. Are people just not a bit patient anymore?

peoples secret agandas, some are fanatics that want TMV high in the top 100 list while others want them out. It really sucks when people do this because no one who sees its rating will have a good idea how good the music is. I agree with the person that said earlier on this forum that albims should not be reviewed until they're released, (perhaps also) and/or actually listened to in its entirity in more than one listening.

yes it's a very good album. I wish people'd actually write reviews...long enough to be submitted. It's an album worth many words so I'm not sure what everyone's up to. As for that one star review--it probably was a 70s junkie judging by this site but I will say there are many Volta fans that aren't happy with this release because it's so different...who knows? Either way it didn't deserve it...

Here's my review. I don't want to put it on the site because I've only heard it once and probably did a bad job describing it, but here it is:

Well the album has been leaked for about a week. So it is quite possible that someone has listened to it and is ready to review it.

frankly votes shouldn't count unless a review of x amount of words comes along with it

Ratings without review should not be accepted at all. As to the number of words - 50 words review sometimes can be more informative than 500, so it should not be taken into consideration.
