Have you noticed that in the first song Nils and Carla sing in spanish one part? Talk about goosebumps! Whats up with that... did they thought that its quite cool that the MArs Volta is doing it, so they discided to do it too?... mmm maybe, either way, its awesome
and the last 5 songs... who else here things they make one big epic?

If you respected these artists you wouldn't talk about a leaked album until it is released ...

First of all, I didnt know it was leaked, I thought it was already out. As this albums dont come to Argentina I have no other way to knowing about them for sites like this, and when I saw it I inmediatly thought it was out. And why then take it out on me? are we gonna play that game again Mike? Why dont say it in general, for all of us who have post in this thread... go and say it to Progtologist too for that matter Second... ..., I will get back on you with that

Well I've pre-ordered the album (a couple weeks ago now though), I can't wait to get it. This is THE best album of 2006. Only 10 or so more days left until I can see the amazing packaging.
[spoiler]
What I've noticed about the new SGM album is that it's a lot more coherent album, it feels like an album and less like a collection of randomly selected songs (like their previous efforts). The production is beautiful and the compositions are intricate but yet extremely concise. I also love when Nils and Carla are synced together (violin and guitar), especially at the end of Widening Eye.
[/spoiler]
Wahh, I wish time would speed up.

2006???? You know, I think Of Natural History is much more coherent than In glorious times... but they are both great... still, I find ONH to be their masterpiece

Oh whoops, I meant 2007. Nah, ONH was great, but it didn't flow at all. Not to mention, ONH had a lot more filler, especially 17 Year Cicadas (yawn), those field recordings. Cockroach shouldn't be after Babydoctor at all, especially without epic Babydoctor is as a whole. I could imagine Cockroach before Babydoctor, that would work a lot better aesthetically. The first six songs on Of Natural History flow well, but after that, the consistancy gets a bit shakey. I think the flow on ONH hindered my ability to continually listen to the album, which I can't do much on it, just because the album felt really lopsided. In Glorious Times is even througout, every song has a climax, no more filler, every song feels like it's an essential part of the album. The songs that I could take out of Of Natural History, and it wouldn't change my opinion of the music would be: The 17-Year Cicada, What Shall We Do Without Us, Cockroach.

That spanish in the Mars Volta album didn't sounded so cool to me. If you don't know how to speak in another language, then just don't.

I love What shall we do and Cockroach ... I love the whole thing, and its true what you say, the flow builds after many, many times of listening... in a way, its more optuse and prog than In glorious times

I am saying it to everyone who promotes leaks ... I even said it to my friend The Progtologist, which caused much grief and sorrow. I'm sorry if my post offended you ... if you really thought the album had already been released then I apologize. But please try to understand my point of view ... you were asking for opinions about an album which people can only know in detail if they listened to a leak (likely) or received a legitimate promo copy (unlikely)? The album isn't even mentioned on their website yet (May 22nd). It will be released this friday in Europe, next tuesday in the Americas. And although you say that you didn't know it was a leak, you continue to discuss it ... Please don't be too angry about my post, listening to leaks seems to be no problem for most people (polls about the subject are deleted by admins, so we won't find out in detail) ... I simply reserve my right to complain when threads like this one are started, because I think that in the end it hurts the artist ... but as I said, this is only my opinion and I know that many people think otherwise.

Ok, Mike... let me just take a Valium... ahh... I understand, I totally do, sorry if I got all crazy and sh*t. I see your point, to be honest, I had no idea it was leaked, I noticed the album in this site, so I thought... of course there are many leaked albums in this site, like the DT one...

Sadly I've still yet to listen to a single note from these guys, but before the end of the year I'll be sure I do.

They have a video out for the song Helpless Corpse Enactment on their site(or was it on the end records site?).The song is going to be their new album. The video is pretty weird and the song is heaviest I have ever heard form these guys. Who else have seen this?

Hey, could you go into a little detail about the packaging? :) I'm getting it tomorrow for sure because I preordered... I'm really excited to see the inside.
