i think its out around march... its fucking fabulous... just a heads up on yr best of 2007 list!

has it leaked?

sounds like PAULYBEE2656 has heard it...

I can second that...the album's awesome.
And the rumour that paulybee is Alan Sparhawk, is nothing but false.

Mimi.

Did anyone see Zak talking about Tool on some news show?

yep, it's leaked; i'm going to review it, but i haven't listened to it.

i d/l'ed it on slsk.

great shit.

hey everyneurotic when i finish the new scissor shock cd later this year do you wanna review it?

sure.

For the record, I am not Zak.
I shared a studio with him until last month, but I am definitely not him.
Great guy. His comix rule!


This new album has been described as their "Kid A" by some.

hipster: la reseña va a salir en la revista switch de febrero.

si, estuvo un tiempo (mas bien un chingo de tiempo) de la chingada pero ya esta mejor, cuando me ofrecieron la chamba tuve mis dudas pero esta chido. voy a reseñar el de low, el de the shins, el de deerhoof, el de jesu y el de do make say think...parece que me ganaron el de explosions in the sky. en la de enero, reseñé the destroyed room.

también hice un articulo de arab strap, va estar eso en la de febrero.

va, a mi también me cagó, sobre todo porque a penas el año pasado me empezaron a gustar, pero ni pedo; si me pusiera a pensar cuantas bandas han pasado sin que haya visto, no podría...

Huh? What was that about Arab Strap?

Yo hablo espanol, pero solo un poquito.

Mimi.

I'm very jelous of you.I can't wait to hear the new record and i will most certainly download it and then buy it.

Awesome!Thanks so much Pauly,i'm particularly digging 'Violent Past' at the moment.Already one of my favourite records this year and i can't wait till it comes out.

Man,'Murderer' is also such a beautiful song.Thanks again!

With the exception that Radiohead will never make as magnificient an album as this.Do these motherfuckers ever run out of ideas?

after giving it a few listens, i can say that the album is good, but not as outstanding as it's made out to be, some of those experiments just don't work and then songs, especially on the first half, are too short to really get into. the first half is kinda boring, while the second half is simply majestic, murderer being my personal favorite song.

So far my favourites are 'Violent Past' and 'Murderer'(what a tune!).After repeated listenings it feels a bit more fragmented an album than their previous ones but it still shits on so much stuff that passes for genius these days.My only disppointment is that they seem to have concentrated more on the sounds than the vocals but it is indeed a small matter as Low are Low and there is only one Low.

actually, i really here more of the alan/mimi harmonies on this one more than the great destroyer, which they sort of left a little at the side to focus more on rock songs (i do think of tgd as an experimental record for them as well as d&g), my beef is that they don't let them flow as much.

as i said it, the last half of the album and especially the last two songs on it are MAJESTIC!

The vocals seem less intricated and,as you said,they should have let them stretch and flow like only they can do.I can see what you mean about The Great Destroyer.You have to pardon my wild enthusiasm but this is the only band that could convince me to set foot into a church other than for a wedding or a funeral.

And the Union Chapel's not there any more is it?

It is.
