Noctourmaline.com - The Mars Volta Forums

I've been thinking about this. The hype levels would be so much higher. But honestly I'm glad about it leaking for my own sanity because I know I would be in a mad obsessive state about TMV, looking up things all the time trying to find more clips etc, for the whole lead up to the album and it's fu...

Yeah I don't believe in the "falling out" stuff, because in any case CH would have interest in selling the records, whether they're still on good terms or not, especially for a small label like them for whom TMV is the biggest band they have signed. I also don't believe that leaking the al...

I love those !
The last Le Butcherettes album was also great.

lol we're all the same - I try to listen only every other day. I already was in a long volta phase before Lucro Sucio came out... I reaaaaally really like LS but it feels like I already know too much how it will flow, while with S/T, with the songs being short and more diverse, it took me longer to ...

Now that everyone has got the leak this place falls dead again

Can we at least have a sterile conversation like ranking tracks from lucro sucio before it's too late ?
I love Maullidos

I haven't really started trying to make out lyrics but settling with the instrumentals, I love this thing more every listen. It's almost like a puzzle; between the way the tracks are broken up, the way the leak was split up from one long track, the artwork, and some stray lyrics I've caught, it evo...

Something I note about this album is the heavy and prominent use of vocal fx, probably more so on this album than any other since DitC? I feel like after watching If This Ever Gets Weird that the vocal processing was a core tenet of early TMV in some way to them, and that might be part of the 'hark...

This album with its low tempo is Cedric at his most sensual
"You're running in my maze now"
also Maullidos/Morgana

Dude sings so sexy

If I remember correctly this was a Matt Bittman statement regarding one of the ORL massive 2016 releases. I always assumed this was about Killing Tingled Lifting Retreat.

man that Zed leak was amazing, good times That summer was magical. Nocto is so underrated. Super nocto fan here, I think I was listening to the best buy cellphone recording version of Zed non stop for several days after the 'leak'. But was it summer really ? I have memories of a really cold night o...

I don't even know which track would work as a single. Cue the sun ? Voice in my knives maybe ?

As much as the drums are pretty forgettable on this album, the bass really shines. Wonder if it's Eva playing.

edit : yeah forgot about Un disparo del vacio, this one would do great. Damn this is awesome.

Yeah I wish they'd do that, or at least make a clear statement regarding that. I mean people who are not aware of the new album will start looking for infos as soon as it is announced and will find out about the leak anyway so... April is still two months away and the excitement won't be the same fo...

Quoting myself from june 2023, first page of this thread : And more seriously, I'm expecting something that tend to a jazzy, rnb vibe. I'm also wishing they go back to proposing surprising, interesting song structures, without needing 15 minutes track for that. I definetely got what I wanted :D This...

I miss the comatorium so much... I hope this is true. Do we know something more about LP8? All that we know so far is Album title: Lucro Sucio: Los Ojos del Vacio Tracklist: Fin Reina tormenta Enlazan las tinieblas Mictlán Nefilibata Cue the sun Alba del orate Voice in my knives Poseedora de mi som...

Yeah this situation with already a potential leak and yet no official announcement is mad. I know I won't be able to refrain myself looking for the leak still I want to fully experience the hype like I did with noctourniquet (my first listening of that album when it leaked is one of my most precious...

So I know noone will come around here but reddit is just such a mess to navigate for me and the new album is indeed on its way.
If anyone wants to share joy, excitement and expectations I'd love to use a good ol' forum for that !

Would it be that maybe you dislike pop music ?

My thoughts on the new song : Cute melody. Vocals are very central. Production is even clearer than on Corazones. Weird to hear Omar sing so clearly, when his voice is still not the most interesting or beautiful. Is its voice processed a lot ? something around 0:58 feels strange. Also that ending is...

you uploaded mixes of your versions of zapopan and unicorn skeleton mask mereged together and other albums that i wish i had downloaded. Woah, you did that ? I know I have a remix of USM that I think you did auxfnx and that I mostly listened to this one over the original version (at least before Za...

You're not alone.
Also, forums were cool.

I seriously wonder how many hardcore ORL fan are there in the world - I'm the only one I physically know - and out of that, how many are rich enough to buy something this massive. I mean I'd love to get that, but that's like a whole salary for a month. I'd never spend so much money at once. In the e...

What are your expectations for the new record ? I don't think they could go deeper into the pop direction and I wouldn't get the meaning of it ; they were trying to go there since octahedron and finally managed with s.t. So... where now ? I feel like octa and somehow nocto (which I love) kinda faile...

New acoustic song is great !

I am also pretty attached to the functionment of forums and wasn't able to switch to reddit or discord. Well discord is just like online chat places that existed before, but reddit I don't get it. Everything always seems to get lost.
I miss the coma :'(

Is it the whole catalogue we're talking about ? That's way too hard. I wish the Ipecac series would first get vinyl pressing, considering it never had and how badly handled it was promoted. Like, Ipecac albums would need a Telestrion volume 2. It's so diverse ! and plenty of quality there as well, t...
