Full Version: Eventual Pitchfork Octa Review
Bitchfork has long held a grudge against the Volta, their first four LPs have been rated 4.9, 2.0, 3.5, and 4.3 respectively (but over 9000 for Tremulant - wtf?). Do you think the new direction on Octahedron will finally garner a positive review from the whiny emo kids?
It shouldn't, and doesn't, matter

Explain why you believe Tremulant is better than De-Loused!!!
Explain why you believe Tremulant is better than Frances!!!!!
Explain why you believe Tremulant is better than Amputechture!
Explain why you believe Tremulant is better than Bedlam In Goliath.
Explain why you believe Tremulant is better than O....
...forget the last one. my bad.
I mean Tremulant IS BADASS! and it's the birth of the The Mars Volta, because it's their debut. it's a very special thing, don't get me wrong.
But c'mon it's only 3 songs, 19 minutes (5 minutes pure noise) and these 19 minutes aren't able to beat De-Loused and Frances in terms of awesomeness.

i'm actually half-expecting them to contradict their policy on TMV and give this an 8.x something review along with their 'best new music' tag thing
really, this is the kind of stuff pitchfork digs, and octa doesn't have most of what pfork usually hates about tmv

I don't care for bitchfork.

I wish that guy at SomethingAwful would keep reviewing albums, those were the best.

Agreed.

That Frances review was very quotable.
