The new album sounds fantastic! Better then the first one. There is a song in Spanish called "l'via l'viaquez" and it's already my favorite MV song really salsa/latin inspired. great great great. Consider me excited!

EDIT: I've listened to it twice now and I most say this is the best music I've heard for a long long time.

I've officially taken off the one foot I had on the tMV ship

I can only find crappy copies. The copies im finding don't sound too good, it's missing something and probably not a mastered copy. Does anyone have a good copy of the album?

i dont have a mastered copy, but even if i did i dont think it'd help with the shitty songs and structure

I mean I sort of liked them, but mainly for a few songs (I probably mentioned it earlier in this thread, if I didn't: the first two tracks on Lightmouth), but after hearing the new album I feel comfortable in saying that I don't like them.

Pedro was right about the shitty structure (RIDICULOUS)-- that's a reason why (the Spanish song being a prime example). It goes beyond the song and ruins CDs, there's no flow because they're too busy fucking around. -->It's overly showy in the way that you might be if you didn't really have a grasp of what you're doing.<--

wtf? I really don't understand you guys...what's all that talk about structure? The songs are much more harmonic and homogenic compered to the ones on the first album. In my oppinion it's not as chaotic and confusing. I don't know if the copy I have is 100% finished but anyway I think it sounds very promising.

i guess the simple way of saying it is that it's unfocused. the first one seemed to have direction. this just meanders

is it still prog?

the first ep wasn't as proggy, and i heard somewhere that it was more like that. is it true?

Sleuth · January 13, 2005, 12:38:57 PM

I thought it was more proggy than the last LP

The radio has been playing Harriet The Spy out here for a while. I liked the first record but if that song is any indication I'll be politely passing on the latest.
