I agree!!!!
Sounds like a new Golden type sound
The opening song in the video--- i think its Spring(Among the Living) sounds really good! I already know Big Decisions, Compound Fracture, & Only Memories Remain sound great live so this teaser just got me even more pumped about the album and tour.
Okay, so this could just be me going down a weird path, but this kind of came from the ether and I added it to my soul soup:
So Circuital was very much about aspects of the ego...outta my system, wanna freak out, black metal, etc. There were these moments of transcendence...glimpses of being...as in wonderful or slow, slow tune...pathways to 'a new state of mind'.
Now, a waterfall, in terms of eastern philosophy, is kind of the representation of the living life force, the chi, the flow...it is the bridge between the ego and the infinite stillness of one's innermost nature. So I feel like it is possible that these little "snippets" are glimpses into the transcendent. But at the same time, if you are "seeking" them out, instead of letting them come to you, they are just feeding the ego, which can never be satisfied. This is why the waterfall is like the owls in Twin Peaks...when led by the duality of mind, they represent heaven and/or hell...but when received from a state of inner being-ness, represent the flow. In which case, maybe the next album is the stillness?
I swear to God I don't smoke pot. I just do a lot of yoga :smiley:

More special than when Circuital or Evil Urges came out? I'm not trying to start anything, but it seems like half this forum likes everything MMJ has released, and the other half have been disappointed with everything after the Z album. I fall into the first category.

I like everything they have released, but also feel Evil Urges and Circuital were a step down from their previous works. Which speaks more to the transcendence of their previous work than the inferiority of their new stuff. The video has me cautiously optimistic that the new album is going to be closer to the earlier albums. But of course, it's two minutes of a 45-50 minute album.

It's weird, I agree that Evil Urges and Circuital fall below their other stuff, however, I probably listen to those two more than any of the other albums. I still listen to live stuff a lot though! After hearing so many of those Tennessee Fire/At Dawn/It Still Moves songs live, it sounds like the studio versions are missing something! I'll have to go back and listen to them. It's been awhile!
That opening.....the guitar was pretty but when the drums kicked in I was hooked. I need this album in my life.
I am especially appreciative that MMJ continues to evolve their sound with every album.

Do both!
This album is sounding great
Compound fracture is a soulful jam...love Jim's vocals in the snippet
that opening tune sounds like a great choice for a show opener, depending on where it goes
I thought missed the point was sounding lovely with just the acoustic then it took on a sec walking feel when it kicked in. hope there is some bare acoustic on the album version

I'm just excited dude... I'm not trying to debate the stature of record vs. record or anything like that. If the OBH2 versions of 'Compound' and 'Only Memories' are any reflection, we're looking good live. I can tell I already love 'Get the Point' and 'Spring'. The 'Compound' snipit was sweet as well!
They've got the momentum and I'm on board. Can't wait for the GATH! :beer:
What a great pick me up today! I'm digging everything I've heard so far, "Get to the Point" damn how pretty sounding is that track?
Hopefully they did a full on documentary of them recording this.

I'm sure Danny's sitting on plenty of footage... would love to see how this one shook out in the studio. The scenery looks amazing!
already like more than circuital.
When i first heard circuital i said to myself... "Why did they even bother making that album?" Then i came to fall for songs like wonderful and slow slow tune and victory dance was the one instant winner.. but looking back, not an album i was ever really excited about..
This stuff though.. it's very different in some ways from everything else they have done, but there will be at least 5 or 6 songs that will be amazing live.

Any song that MMJ performs live is solid gold!
(http://www.jigsawlounge.co.uk/film/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Bears1.jpg)
It sounds fucking unreal. Every sound I heard blew my mind
So they went with "some of the songs," but i like the way they did it.
I can see why they went with Big Decisions as their first release. Its the only one that sounds even close to their previous work. That first track is unreal and im assuming that will be the first track on the album....and then OMR to finish it all off. Wow. The live potential of either of those songs is huge.
Here is what I am hoping for in the live realm: instead of keeping the same format, replacing 7-8 old tracks with new tracks and rolling on, i hope they rethink some of their setlist staples. Maybe there are some forgotten songs that now go great with the vibe of this new album that can make a resurrection. For instance, there's that instrumental on it still moves that also showed up on the backside of the first roll call 7". The song on the 7" was called Grab a Body and was new but the end was that old instrumental. Ive always associated that sound with a gentle flowing of water. There's also Chills, enormously positive and free flowing. There may be better matches, though. I just really hope they mix things up quite a bit.
Enjoyed the tease it all sounds so great. They never said if they resolved the Hot Debate, in the name of symmetry i feel another video with more footage and clips of the other five songs coming in a week or so!
Big Decisions hasn't completely grown on me yet, and the first listen had me even a tad "worried" what's in store for us.
But, that's all over now with the first few notes of that first song. Holy sh*t that song is going to be awesome! I rewound it several times and just sat there with a smile on my face. It's got everything I love in their sound. Any idea what track it is?
Then, the small snippet of compound fracture got me even more excited (I've avoided listening to crappy OBH YouTube videos before the album is released).
Then Get The Point (is that the name?) put me over the top. My body is so ready for this album!
Oh, and a funny thing happened. Big Decisions got better for me when surrounded by its other siblings (other songs on the album).

I think the first song is Spring (Among the Living).
I believe the songs in order are:
Spring
Get The Point
Compound Fracture
Believe
Big Decisions

I think the debate was a rhetorical question implying that they're trying to make a well-rounded album from beginning to end.
I can't fucking wait for this album and tour!

I believe the "hot debate" was whether to release a double album or split it into two LPs, as they have done.

Oh ok, yea that makes sense. I was just being silly and hoping out loud that they would post a counterpart video with more footage and sneak peaks of the remaining five songs (off The Waterfall) as the release gets closer. Would love to hear a sneak peak of how "Only Memories Remains" will sound on the Album. :beer:

Holyyy shit Get the Point sounds great, and I LOVE Jim's vocals on Compound Fracture already.
This album will be the best since Z.
I really love Big Decisions.

I've been lovin' this OBH video of Compound Fracture. Can't understand a word Jim's saying most of the time but the music and rhythm is sublime.
