10 dollars says it's going to suck or be mediocre at best.

I'm not expecting the record to be better than Today's Active Lifestyles but I definitely think it will be better than Shapes.

I'm expecting a decent to very good Polvo record of In Prism.

most anticipation!

everyneurotic, did you ever get the new robe. album for blackest rainbow "time dilation"? you'd love it. it's on soulseek fi you want it. haha.

Will you tour in France with Robe. this year, Atsonic ?
That'd be great.

i think theres a good chance of this being pretty good, theyre not the kind of band you think of as having a great deal to ruin (in terms of reputation or success) and as such i imagine they can be pretty free to do something they like.

sounds like solid Polvo material to me

i'll have to check, but i'll download if i don't have it.

i did get the new scissor shock ep.

Yum yum !!! :p

Yeah, I don't have it, I have to use my mom's computer currently (which, amongst featuring no burner and being super slow, will barely run soulseek or torrents without completely crashing). I have a lot of discs and shit packed up too.

new song thanks to stereocum:

It's got some good stuff in it and some stuff that isn't so good. Mostly good stuff though. Better than every song on Shapes, at the least...

Thanks for that. Not a bad song, not great, but a decent enough song I suppose, will probably grow in repeated listens.

Here's the cover, which looks great:

nice album cover... and fairplay that new track isn't what i expected at all - which I'm going to take as a good sign.

the new track sounds like a nu metal riff

im referring to this btw http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/...ars%20Bowl.mp3

terrible

weird, it sounds like a mix of helmet, zz top and the durutti column. but not as good as any of those.

I wouldnt call it nu metal but its definitely classic hard rock, they seem to be getting this backlash from you all as if they were ever anything different from a rock band? If you dont like Polvo then this aint gonna convert you, but i think its a nice song.

Reminds me of a rocket pop

i quite like this new track.

It just sounds like Shapes-era Polvo but more "in tune" (sounds like at least one of the guitars is in standard -- definitely gives the song less of a bent, twisted feel of their other stuff). It's not bad except for the awful guitar solo halfway through..

The thing with the song, while pretty decent, is that it sounds too well recorded for Polvo, not like how their other albums sound, or maybe that's just how I hear it...
