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

Yer welcome!  Please be daft(er).  :)

p.s.  Riny, I think you're gone for the night now, but when you get up - I've been listening to Wordless Chorus nonstop - is this screwing you for bandwidth?

Cuz I can stop.

(maybe)

P.S. Also Riny, when you get a sec, can you check the link for the I Think I'm Going to Hell video on the Streams page? It's not working for me for some reason. Danke...

You have to cut and paste it into a real player...

So I just listened to "Worldless Chorus" for the first time. Or "Wordless Chorus". Actually, I think I am going to call it "Worldless Chorus" because it sounds so otherworldly. I love the bass line and the dripping-faucet guitar sounds. I don't know I'm just at a loss for words, or worlds, or whatever. There's so much depth there, so much to be listened to over and over again. I agree that it definitely sounds like an introductory song, kinda like "At Dawn," which is just great in my opinion. I have a feeling this album is definitely going to be a night album. Like all the previous ones. Anyway, initial reaction is "Fuck, that is a greatly wonderous song" but I need to hear more. Time for "Off the Record".

So I thought I was at a loss for words before....

I just don't know how to begin to describe this song. I agree with Eisey that it sounds like some weird surf song. Except that doesn't even tell the half of it. Maybe a weird surf song that was lost for millennia and now has been rediscovered up by aliens in the distant Z galaxy and is now being re-routed to earth via their antennae with their own unique additions and interpretations tacked on? Yeah, I think that about describes it.

This is light years away from The Tennessee Fire. But not in a bad way, at all. It's just different. I've never heard anything like it. I'm going to have to shut up now and go listen to it again. Wow.

In the spirit of "Wordless Chorus":

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Thanks  ;D

wow, i'll express my love for WC one more time, it's such a great song and like stated above, has an "eerie" vibe and will definetly set the tone for Z.

alot of people have been critical of MMJ lately and their experimentation with different kinds of music, and while i understand that everyone has an opinion and i respect that, it still pains me to see Jacket fans not totally digging the new stuff. in all honesty, MMJ could put out anything and i would probably dig it because of the fact that it is MMJ. that may not be right to some people, but i love every note of music MMJ has given the world and will continue to love it, just because i do.

yeah. it works directly for some, others will have to do a copy and paste job.

Love Off the Record but I've been listening to that for for a while now.
Didn't like Wordless at first but it's slowly growing on me.

[doEVILslittle]

i love off the record but where is the dreeeeeeenching reverb in jimmy's vox? that was the mainstay of the song when i heard it live many times this summer...gotta have it

[MMJ_fanatic]

Wordless is in the lead for current favorite for the cd (still like OTR too but this one hit me harder in my goosebumps spot)

[CC]

check out the new one

if it's not there, refresh 200000 times ;)

Oh Man, I always wonder what they are going to come up with next to top what they've already done and they always seem to find a way to do it in the most unexpexted ways.  The character voices are brilliant.  What an amazing look into the band and the recording studio.  Beautiful atmosphere scenery, and editing.  That is literally one of the "COOLEST" thing's I've ever layed eyes on.

I love how patrick has the creepy voice transformer on, and Tommy is backtracked. Any clue if these play into what going on on the album?

And interviewing Jim in that reverb room is brilliant.

And I love how Jim is utilizing the muppet screams on this one. I don't know if its a nod to the people who thought his voice went a bit kermit-y on It Still Moves when he was hittin higher notes or what, but I think it's hilarious and I think that this album will be a Muppet Beach Party.

It (the special voices) makes them seem even more like superheros.  They each have thier own little superpowers.  Whoever put this together is my hero, the use of the music and the transitions are sublime.  It has to be the same person that did the short film for It Still Moves it has the same feel only it's even better.   I just keep watching it over and over again and noticing new stuff.  The songs that were recorded we haven't heard.........How Could I Know, Devils are not better?, Milking Song, Chills, Thats 2 Bad.      

[sweatboard]

Does Patrick say that Tom kicks his ass in Ice Hocky?  

[sweatboard]

My favorite part is when Jim and Patrick are sitting on the couch with the Omnichord and thier both talking in thier supervoices to each other.  Patrick says something about the Omnitone and Jim say's "Anything That Adds Reverb Is Better"  ;D

[whothrewthecake]

holy shit! this is completely awesome, i keep watching it over and over. i like the list of things to do in the studio - seems to sum it up pretty well i would think!  :D
