Has anyone else heard their new cd ? (its out on mirc i know ) Its called De-Loused In The Comatorium, its their first full length release. I got it last night..... wow. I havent been this blown away since i heard kid A or el cielo. Just a masterpiece of modern music.
Im sure most people arent goin to enjoy it... which i like. however i know this board has many, lets say musically 'enlightened' listeners... If anyone is fed up with music today and enjoys a very VERY eclectic album thats just mind blowing..... give it a shot, or anything by the volta. Truly amazing. This is the kind of band who could save modern music.....

it's very very awesome.

i think at the drive in fans will be very impressed... it totally blows sparta out of the water as far as the alumni are concerned.

it's a shame though about jeremy ward's death..

bleeckerx · 05-29-2003, 07:56 PM

what happened to him?? i hadnt heard anything?

CyCo PL · 08-15-2003, 10:22 PM

I got this album today, and I love it. This is saying a lot for me, because it's totally not the style of music that I normally listen to. I'm mainly into the really heavy stuff, like Sepultura, Children of Bodom, Dying Fetus, Slipknot, etc... But De-Loused in the crematorium is just an excellent album, genres aside.

White Cluster · 08-15-2003, 10:28 PM

amazing band...
probably one of the best out today when it comes to the more mainstream rock/metal world.

I love them

Pedialyte · 08-16-2003, 07:32 PM

yeah i just got it about a week ago... it is pretty damn awesome, quite the innovation.

Maxarian · 08-16-2003, 08:32 PM

I heard the song "Drunkship of Lanterns" on a college radio station and I was totally blown away. I prayed that they would say the bands name, but they only said the name of the song. I scribbled it down and went to Google as soon as I went home.
These guys KICK ASS!!

Sleepyjack · 08-16-2003, 08:50 PM

got it a day or so ago. Really refreshing, innovative and also rocking.

IckUber · 08-16-2003, 09:36 PM

Fucking rules, ive already recomended it to lots of people. Awesome cd, everyone should get it.

gallopingwanker · 08-17-2003, 03:26 PM

i can't stand the singer..but mike portnoy is one of the best drummers ever

CyCo PL · 08-17-2003, 04:20 PM

The singer is my favorite part of the band.

Shpoop · 08-18-2003, 04:21 PM

yea one of my friends listened to it, and its pretty damn good

specially the song inertiatic esp

Infinite Hybrid · 08-19-2003, 01:42 PM

Got it while I was in Rhode Island, and loving it. Very refreshing piece of work they made.
Favorite songs on the album:
Televators
This apparatus must be unearthed
Inertiatic ESP

Also side question: What does their former band, At the Drive In sound like? for whatever reason I can't find it in stores near me.

Johnny Rotten · 08-19-2003, 11:31 PM

At The Drive-In sounds like punk rock filtered through Rage Against the Machine. "Arc Arsenal," "One-Armed Scissor," and "Cosmonaut" are favorites of mine.

Beware, though, that Bixler's voice is much more rough around the edges than with Volta.. I think he took voice lessons after he left ATDI, because his delivery often devolves in ragged shouting on the ATDI stuff.

It's also a lot less experimental, and there's no Santana influence or Led Zepplin tributage.

YourNeverThere · 08-20-2003, 06:56 PM

amazing i love volta, heard the whole cd in the car the other day and loved it

gardenhead · 08-20-2003, 07:45 PM

It's the best cd I've ever heard. I've had a constant boner since June when it came out.
