New Streams

[primushead]

Props on the new streams Riny.  Wordless chorus is suuuuweeeeet!

[Specialist]

holy shit, Wordless Chorus is amazing! i think it is great that they are trying something different, and i think it will serve as a great album opener.

[Todd Richardson]

I'm disappointed - I don't care for either song, to be honest. I remember "Off the Record" from their live set a few months ago - it came off better there.

I know better than to expect another "It Still Moves" or "At Dawn," but I do expect more than these two tracks offer.

 :(

Oh wow!  Oh I'll have to listen when I get home. yay! :)

[tomEisenbraun]

oh man, I love the feel of this album. It's such eerie surf music, or something. I could go for a little bit more reverb on the verse of wordless chorus, but i love all the synth.




We are the innovators!!!
They are the immitators!!


Holy shit!!!!

Jim's voice at the end of Worldess Chorus is amazing.
I love how it ends with a brief nod to Benny and the Jets.

This album will be amazing.

[tomEisenbraun]

Also, this song is definitely an opener. I get the feeling that there's something just on the other side of this that explodes. Damnit Riny!!! I love you.

These new-fangled non-CD "streams" sure are tempting. I may just have to give into temptation and pop my "Z" cherry when I get home.

See, I don't feel bad if it's from here.  :)

i wasnt a big fan of wordless chorus either, but in my opinion it is the second weakest track (next to into the woods), but the rest of the album is head and shoulders better than "wordless chorus" and "into the woods"

[tomEisenbraun]

bah, i think its a great opener, because it sets the stage. It doesn'y hold its own, because it's meant to give you a taste of whats coming, and to set you up for the album, and i think that this song leaves me wanting more, which is what it should do. Because if you feel satisfied at track one, then it changes the scope of the album.

I guess its kind of like the difference between At Dawn and Mahgeeta. There's two ways to open an album, in MMJ's case, and this one is more of a subtle approach. And i sure don;t mind.

See, I really just love gripping a brand new, long awaited album in the store, setting it on my dash as I drive home, unwrapping the cellophane and putting it on in a dark room as the sun goes down with a glass of wine or a beer or a whisky (depending on the album) and totally being engrossed in it. Kinda like wrapping your arms around a long sought lover, and breathing her slowly in, knowing that the anticipation and the wait were well worth it, delighting in each new moment and also taking pleasure in the fact that you were able to wait and the experience was that much better because of it.

But gosh darnit, if these beer-googled floozies called "new streams" aren't tempting me to indulge in that fleeting if immediate one-night stand.  ;)

[MMJ_fanatic]

Holy crap Boar!  I felt kinda like a voyeur reading that.  But it kinda embodies my experience with a new long awaited biscuit.  Thanks for that

[goosemeister]

i apologize for this sacrilege, but i feel that i must be honest.

if "wordless chorus" and "off the record" were the first songs that i'd heard from mmj, i'd have never expressed enough interest to purchase their music.  i know, i know, i know... how could i be a mmj fan after saying and thinking those things?  well, that's just what i think.  i'm not bashing; i'm just expressing.  mmj doesn't owe me anything.  they create and we choose to listen or not.  nevertheless, i'm sure that i'll buy z.  the music may, for me, require a handful of listens to peel away the layers.

Really nice description Boar. Very evocative.

Long awaited biscuit! Excellent! That one really made me smile.

When I press the thing that says 'streams' I can't see any reference to the new songs. The latest I can see is June 2004. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Long awaited biscuit!! Superb  ;D

[The Boar]

Long awaited biscuit!! Superb  ;D

Haha, agreed. I just hope you ain't talking about some kind of Limp Bizkit or any such nonsense.

I'm not. And I can't believe the fanatic is. He strikes me as the king of guy who appreciated the value of a long awaited biscuit  :D

[whothrewthecake]

well, i listened because i felt as though if the site has it, i can do it. and i peed my pants.
the end of the wordless chorus blows my mind! i want a whole song of just those jim yells.  :D

Lady doctor, the new songs are on the news page.  :)

Okay.  I have been waiting all day to listen to this.  Well, I mean ever since I heard there was a song called Wordless Chorus, I've really really wanted to hear it.  And 'wiggum told me it was up, and I cursed being at work, but then I just kind of felt better the whole day because I knew I could come home and listen.

1.  The bass is hot as fuck.  Go Tom!
2.  I swear to everything in the world that is important to me, if we could stick evil people in a room and only let them hear Jim James harmonies, we would never have to worry about wars anymore.  I can't even believe how fucking awesome they are.  If I could describe my face when I was listening to this, it would be like somebody told me that we found a way for people to fly.

This song makes me want to dance.  

Fuck me, I am so excited for Z.

[The Boar]

 If I could describe my face when I was listening to this, it would be like somebody told me that we found a way for people to fly.

That has to be, like, the best simile I've heard all week. I can imagine about 20 different expressions on your face, but believe you me, they all are awesome.  :D

Oh shit, I guess I'm going to have to go listen too.

Thanks a lot Megan. Thought I was going daft (er  ;))
