Is the new album bumhat? I don’t want it to be bumhat.

*Santana tribute act

I’m enjoying it but I enjoyed the singles they released. I can’t really tell you if it’s great or not. It’s ā€˜more of the same’. @ericthefourth would no doubt be pointing to the bumhat :peach: :tophat:

ooh is it out? will have a listen on the way home. fully expect the music to be… fine/mediocre and cedric to be cringeworthy.

For me this is disappointingly on the money. Had this album come before Relationship of Command and anything The Mars Volta, I’d like it more. As it is, it very much seems like something they could knock up of an evening. Some tracks better than others, nothing particularly memorable.

Sigh.

so they’re a tribute act to… santana, yes, led zeppelin, king crimson. any others?

pretty much this…

Actually on first listen, once it got going, I quite liked it. Cedric is a bit Cedric at times though.

it’s fine.

i mean, it’s not amazing.

but it’s fine.

One or the other. Not both.

pumpkin tophat?

It’s OK.

Jim would’ve done the shouty bits better (dunno if it’s Omar or the guy from Sparta doing those bits) and Cedric’s voice sounds more Mars Volta than ATDI. Vocals are just thinner than they should be in general.

All the songs sound the same at the moment but I’ll give it a couple more spins today

That peach is the closest I can find to a bum :frowning2:

It’s not very good, there’s a song towards the end that is literally Cosmonaut again

imagine not being able to tell the difference between a peach and a pumpkin!

Easier via hover-over on desktop tbf

think both omar and the new guy do them live. just remembered that making of RoC video where cedric and jim record the backing vocals together and it’s the most awkward thing of all time.

Link plz
